As you wish Brother. It is a good topic. In Jeremiah 1:5 it says the Lord knew us before we were in the womb...
Meaning we were already alive before we were born on earth, and He knew us. We undoubtedly had some sort of relationship and talked with Him...otherwise He wouldn't be able to say that in verse 5.
So we already had a life with the Lord and one day we woke up as a baby on earth, and couldn't remember where we came from. He's restrained our memories from us!
Unless someone told us, we wouldn't know Him if He walked by on the street. Couldn't recognize Him. There's examples of this in scripture too. Luke 24:13-
The story of the road to Emmaus, where Jesus appears to a couple of His disciples on the road after His resurrection...
Verses 15-16
15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.../
The same thing as He's done to us too, basically. He did it to Mary at the tomb too. She thought He was the gardner!
And we knew Him before we were born here. So we've talked who knows how many times with Him, face to face. Right? Does that make sense? It does.
So I figure He prolly let us choose which family to be born into here on earth.
Each different person, and family has it's own circumstances and trials that come with it, that the person would have to go through. ..with appropriate Blessings according to the circumstances of the trial...
My guess would be, those folks who's lives are tragically cut short, and perhaps also those saddled with disabilities, were trials which will come with special blessings when we get to go home again. Well, when Father & Son come to pick us up that is, lol.
(I bet we go home in style!)
