What a day! I have been pondering all the blessings I have been given along with prayers. I could not help but think of a blessing I was given that I would be healed. Little does this person know my cancer is not the greatest illness I have. I have a relationship issue that is far greater and with this disease a blessing of being reunited with those who I love has taken place. This was the real sickness and the blessing I was given has been fulfilled.  I see things from a different point of view and can move forward with the blessing of this dreadful disease. I can’t help but thank the Lord for two special people in my life Lisa and Brian and all the joy they bring to me with their expanding families.

Yesterday, I visited a couple who live near me, Jordan and his little family. To protect them I am not going to share the rest of the family member’s names. They brought me to tears with their great love and compassion. Words were not needed to feel their love and concern. During the visit their three year old son amazed me, he quietly walked up to his Dad and said, "I am going to time out and when I am done I will come and talk to you about it." Then he quietly walked away to ponder his time out. It seemed like a self-imposed time out. When I left I told this little and very wise tike that he is the best three year old I have known in my 60 years of life. What a great blessing this was.
