Like a billion other people, I am on Facebook. It has proven to be more joy than I thought it would be. I have been able to reconnect with old friends. And more importantly rejoice and morn with them. Just in the past couple of weeks I have learned about a college friend's young daughter that was diagnosed with kidney cancer. Though I have not spoke or seen this friend in years, I still ached for him and his family. I won't keep you on the limb....she did have her kidney removed and is healing wonderfully. Our Lord has delivered her from death! I have been in little contact with him since I learned of the news, but I assured him that they were in our prayers and thoughts. I have found myself getting on fb every morning just to check on her progress and thankfully, every day brings better and better news.
As I sit and "check" on her I am reminded what a blessing we have been given with a healthy child. I am not "guarded" enough to think we are exempt from illness, but up to this point we have had a healthy child. My nieces and nephews have been spared from grave illness. As I look at my extended family I realize that my cousins and their children have been protected. I don't say this as a "bragging session" only for the amazing-ness!
If you have scoalded your child for a messy bedroom, or told them to stop running in the house, or had to clean up a milk spill....count your blessings!! Your child is home with you and not in a hospital bed. They have healthy strong legs and an appetite. Be reminded that we are blessed!!!
Please lift up our little friend! I am not posting her name due to "protection" but God will know who you are talking about!! :)
