Beatitude Reflection During the experience of the passing of my grandfather, I became more understanding that everything that God does has a purpose. People come and go in your life but it’s the way that you handle it that really affects you. My grandfather was a very important person in my life. Everyone could confide in him and trust him. He was also extremely generous and caring. He is the most amazing person that I have ever met and he had a big impact on my life. Even though my grandfather’s death was a very hard thing for me to deal with in my life, I knew that it was all a part of God’s plan. Even through those nights where I couldn’t fall asleep and I couldn’t help but cry, I always remembered that he was in God’s hands. Then I started to realize that God only gives us situations that we can handle, God wouldn’t give us situations like this if we weren’t able to handle it. In light of this, I recognized the purpose of God’s will. Because of this obstacle that I struggled to get through, I became a more optimistic and wholesome person, because I exemplified God’s will. The next morning, I woke up as a whole new person, I began to see the true perspective of life, and I started to appreciate life and my family more and more. Life is short and it’s never too early to realize that. In conclusion, even though we all have tough times, my family and I gained a whole new perspective on life.
