Nazi Germany invaded Belgium on May 10, 1940, triggering an exodus of civilians. Our family fled to southern France. Along the way, we found ourselves caught in fierce battles between the German forces and the French forces.
When we returned to our farm, we discovered it had been looted of most of our belongings. Only our dog, Bobbie was there to welcome us. Such experiences led me to wonder, 'Why do war and misery exist?'
Around that time, we benefited greatly from the visits of Brother Emile Schrantz, a faithful pioneer elder. He clearly explained from the Bible why suffering exists and answered my other questions about life. I developed a deeper relationship with Jehovah and became convinced that his a God of love.
