A year ago I devoted several blog posts to recounting my blessings. And that was in the middle of chemo treatments for a stubborn tumor that would remain in my gut for another three months before finally being excised! How much more blessed am I today, having enjoyed nine months of recovery and good health and the birth of my first grandchild?
Yet why is it that in the midst of the best times, we are more reticent in proclaiming the goodness around us? That is the irony that has me feeling ashamed this morning for neglecting this journal and for taking any aspect of my life for granted.
Thank goodness for the season that is now upon us! We shouldn't need a special holiday for thanks-giving, but it is a great reminder that there is much for which to be thankful, whether you have faced a cancer scare or not.
In this coming week, I will hear the results of last week's follow-up MRI, and I pray it will be continued good news. I know a troubling diagnosis would drive me back to this blog more regularly for the solace it offers, helping me reach out to friends and family for their support. How much better if I could use this blog not for myself but to help others find what they need to get through the day! My prayer today is to be thankful every day and to use my renewed health for God's greater purpose.
