Everytime I utter it, it sounds weird, but the best thing that ever happened to me was fall prey to cancer- the rude wake-up call where you are faced with a truly blank slate in life -and all the things in that life that you valued so much and that seemed so important to you, now they become insignificant, in fact you brush them all by the wayside , while you turn to family, loved ones, good doctors and nurses -and if you're a believer like myself you get ahold of a good spiritual book and you also begin an engaging conversation with your Maker, or whatever Name you want to put on Her...
Thanks everyone for the lovely comments
This memoir really means a lot to me and now it's even more special as MOTD.
Dhani - your words are the perfect backstory - I couldn't have put it any better - thank you so much!
Just wish we could do this without the big wake-up call....
these six words leapt out from the sermon I heard in church this morning. Thanks Pastor Jodi. (I attend a Baptist church which has two lady ministers on the pastoral team.)We can live with peace and joy no matter...
