On face book there are several groups that you can join about cancer. Two of them I was invited to the last few days....Cancer Sucks and I Hate Cancer.
These titles started an internal struggle. Without cancer, we would not have met the most caring physicians, nurses, aids, child life specialists, maids, food service people..etc. Without cancer, we would have never known the incredible generosity of our friends, family, and complete strangers. With cancer, our faith has grown tremendously, beyond what I believed my faith could ever be. With cancer, I learned to live every day for the wonderful blessing that it is and be thankful for what I have that moment, that day. With cancer, I learned how to rely on God for strength and wisdom every moment of my life. With cancer, I watched my son go into the arms of Jesus. I was allowed to see the very edge of heaven.
For these reasons I cannot hate cancer. I cannot begin to say that it sucks. Cancer showed our family how to live. Cancer showed me God.
"Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell." Matthew 10:28
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34
