Why (Five Minute Friday)

Sharing is caring!

Why? This was my nephew, Brian’s favorite word when he was about four years old. I would take him along on errands with me for fun back then. Whatever you told him he would ask, “Why?”. You would give him an answer, and he would again ask, “Why?. It got old really fast and usually ended with me saying something to the effect of because I said so, that’s why. I never knew if he was just that curious or had learned that this was a way to drive the adults in his life completely crazy.

God must feel like this sometimes. There are lots of times in our lives when we ask ourselves or God why something happened. Why did this person get cancer? Why did that person get killed by a drunk driver? Why did someone open fire in a school? Why did they feel that was the only solution? Sometimes the question is just, “Why me?” Only God knows!

Time’s up and after going so long last week, I am sticking to the five-minute rule this week. If you really want to read more, check out my Why Do I Write? post.

This post is part of the weekly Five Minute Friday link-up!
The prompt this week is: Why
The assignment: Write for five minutes on the word of the week. This is meant to be a free write, which means: no editing, no over-thinking, no worrying about perfect grammar or punctuation. Just write.
