I saw this prayer pinned on Pinterest and wanted to share it here. I'm sure I am not the only one with "nots" in my life. This certainly hit home with me; I didn't realize how many "nots" I have let control my life until I read this. I hope it will be beneficial to all who read/pray it.
I haven't mentioned it here but my older sister was recently diagnosed with cancer. She went through 4 rounds of chemo and had surgery over a week ago. After surgery she had a rough go of it for a couple of days. I must admit it really gave me a scare. She's home and recovering well but will be going through another round of chemo in about 4 weeks. Life certainly seems fragile when these things happen. Death doesn't seem to close to the door until it starts knocking closer to home. Also, about a month ago I went to visit the dermatologist to have a mole checked on my back. The doctor removed it for a biopsy and told me she would call if there was a problem. I didn't hear anything for 2 weeks and then received a call from her office. I picked up the message after her office had closed and had to wait until the following morning to return the call. Since she told me she wouldn't call unless there was a problem, well, you can imagine the things that were going through my mind. I was certain that it was going to be bad news. The hours ticked by, ever so slowly, while I waited to call. Once I had her on the phone, I let her know I was ready for the bad news! She stated "Honey, it's not bad news! I just wanted to let you know everything checked out ok". I was so not expecting that response! The things we put ourselves through!
Til next time.
