Cancer

I was reading a blog I follow tonight. A link in the upper right hand corner led me to a Caring Bridge site of a family I've never met. Theirs was the story of their five year old daughter's battle with brain cancer.

A dear friend of mine went through months and months of chemo during his cancer treatment.

Another friend is now battling breast cancer.

My uncle lost his battle with lung cancer this month.

We have had our share of battles, our days when G was very sick. But we have not dealt with cancer in our immediate family. Praise God. Praise God. Praise God. I don't think I can say it enough.

I am holding fast to Psalm 91 that says "Fear nothing....not disease that prowls through darkness.....no harm will even graze you." I am holding fast that this psalm represents reality for our family.

I also pray for those who have been hit so hard with this wicked disease. I pray "Make up for the bad times with some good times; we've seen enough evil to last a lifetime". (Psalm 90, MSG)
Lift them up O Lord. Heal them my Father. Touch them this very minute. And continue to spare us.
