Thanks Again Lord…….

I was sharing with some friends today about my cancer experience 32 years ago.  The emotions came rushing back and I remembered just how blessed I was when I found out that my prognosis and chance of surviving had gone from 5% to 95%!  I realize how fortunate I am to have had the last 32 years with my family.  We often forget how special life is until we realize how quickly it can be taken from us!

 

It’s good to remember how gracious and loving our God has been to us, we need to do it everyday and praise Him and thank Him for all the grace He has shown us.  I have so much to be thankful for, and I will carry these feelings through the days to come!  Take a moment to think back to all the times He rescued you, and brought you through what seemed like impossible circumstances!

 

God is truly Good!

 

Blessings,

    Thanks for sharing this right now – the Lord definitely led you to encourage others, including me. My dad was just diagnosed with cancer and has begun treatment – it’s been a very difficult and challenging, faith-stretching time – we’re praying for the Lord to heal him and guidance for the doctors. When things like this happen on our life journey, we do appreciate things so much more and rely on God for strength to make it through. Blessings to you Bill – I thank the Lord for you 🙂

    After reading your blog post today I am reminded of one of my favorite Bible verses.

    For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

    I love that verse!!!
