4 years ago today, I was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia.  14 years ago this month, stage 3 breast cancer.  Unfortunately, I am not the usual cancer patient.  I am the exception.  I never forget this.  I wonder why, in this great plan of His, there are so many who haven't made it. I have no answer.  Only He does.  And this day and everyday I cling to that.

And so today, for those who've loved and lost, I pray for you.  I pray for the peace and comfort that comes from our Heavenly Father.  I pray for renewed trust and belief in His word and His promise to never leave you.

"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand.  And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.  Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character and character, hope.  And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us."   Romans 5:1-5

Much love to you this day,
