Waiting for the diagnosis of sick loved ones has proven to be most difficult for me this year. My Grandparents lived into their 90s-for the most part pretty healthy lives. Illness is all around us in the world, but this time it hit too close to home. Cancer appeared in not 1 but 3 family members. Waiting for results, surgeries,treatments and recoveries became a daily occurrence. Watching family members once strong and vibrant become weak and feeble was emotionally draining on all. We all prayed and thanked God every hint of positive news , so thankful the cancer was caught and could be treated. Throughout the last year as I waited, I felt a sense of Gods presence. I knew that everything that was happening was not in my control but that each situation we faced we were truly in God's hands. As stressful as life was, I knew whatever the outcome, we would be OK because God was there. I still don't like to wait, but it certainly allowed for time to focus on this precious life and to enhance my faith in God's Spirit- for this I am thankful.
