The Remains
What terrible words it must have been for her mom and dad to hear. The remains will not be released. Anna Nicole Smith dead at 39. Lots of questions about the cause of death. A small child that will never be held by her mom again!
The "remains" only speaks of the physical that is left behind when air no longer fills the lungs and the heart has stopped beating. People are so much more than just physical.
Many questions are being asked about her death. But what about her life. To say that her life was chaotic is an understatement.
Here are the questions I would ask about her life:
1. Was her life a good example of how someone trys to fill the emptyness that many people feel?
2. Was her self-medicating a result of trying to stop the pain or cover up the hurts that many feel each day of their life?
3. Did she feel valued and loved for being Anna, a very special daughter, sister, and friend?
4. Were the changes she made to her body and her subsequent posing for Playboy a desperate attempt to feel loved?
5. Were the changes she made to body and her subsequent posing for Playboy a glaring example of our sick society?
One could ask many more questions.
Perhaps she found in death what she never had in life. Peace and comfort.
Do you know someone like her? Try to help them. And if you are like her, stop listening to the world's applause, for it is only the sound of one hand clapping.
Do you have peace? Not everyone finds peace in the same place. I don't know where you will find peace, but I can tell you where it is not found. Peace isn't found in the values of this world or pills. In Psalms 23 David speaks of a walk that everyone must take that goes through a valley. Before you take that walk I hope you find the peace and comfort that David had.
Peace!
