| All things are possible... |
One of my life philosophies is: Sometimes it's your turn. I don't ask, "Why me, or Why us?" I say, "I guess it's our turn." I've never believed that God zaps people. I've never bought into the idea that illness and challenges were punishment or "tests" sent by some higher being to see how we'd do. It just doesn't make sense to me that He plays "games" with us. I've always thought that God, Higher Power, Creator, Yahweh, Jesus - walks beside us as we go through tough times - yes, perhaps He even carries us as the wonderful poem, Foot Prints, describes.
Well, it's our turn. My stand-by-me man has been diagnosed with kidney cancer. We've been walking some shaky ground lately. I thought I'd share what I've learned so far:
First: people are basically good. I know that the media and idle talk often lead us to doubt that, but we've talked to relatives, friends and lots of professionals and almost to a person they've shared a positive story with us. Paul is on so many prayer lists that he should be levitating during surgery.
