Thoughts for Today

One of my closest and dearest friends (Donna) since our years here was recently diagnosed with a rare cancer.  She was scheduled to begin chemotherapy today (she has been recovering from the recent surgery to remove the cancer).  Weather conditions in her city has made life a little more difficult as the port procedure was delayed from Monday.  Yesterday during the finally scheduled procedure, her lung was punctured.  Now the chemo will not take place today.  Donna is in a lot of pain physically.  Please pray for her and that her healing will come quickly so that the doctors can proceed with the chemo that she needs for complete recovery of the cancer. 

My heart aches for her and all that she is going through.  There are so many plagued with this most dreaded disease.  But I know God is in control of it all and will be there with her.  Pray for her family as they tend to her needs. Donna's faith is strong and she has a positive outlook but they all need strength and encouragement for the additional stress this has placed on the family that has already been through a trying year from other issues.

I think of the song by Andre Crouch, "Through It All"

Through it all,

Through it all,

I've learned to trust in Jesus,

I've learned to trust in God

Through it all,

Through it all,

 I've learned to depend upon His word.
