Peace

Views: 334

In the last few days I have had a wave of peace come over me that is unexplainable. Almost a euphoria. I would remember ingesting anything that would explain this…chuckle.

I believe I have come to a place of rest, where-in I am able to accept my disease without anger and without fear. I am able to see it as it is, a miserable manifestation of evil that is to be eradicated with extreme prejudice, without destroying the vessel (me).

This is an amazing revelation that I can directly attribute to a quote, “I went looking for a cure and I found a life”. Cancer is a nasty, nasty illness, but without it I would not see the beauty in survivorship. Without the uncertainty of the future I would not see the glory of today. Without the pain of this body I would not know the strength of this spirit.

If it was not for my cancer I would not be here and I would not read your blogs and laugh and cry and pray for your journeys. If I could find no other blessings in my cancer, this place and those who I have met on this path would be enough.

Peace to all who walk this path, either for themselves or in assisting another. May God be at your side and may you rest in the loving arms of Jesus.

Mac, you brought tears to my eyes reading your blog. You are so right with everything you have said. I have felt like this for a long time. But, cancer still stinks! May God give you more peaceful moments…Sue

Mac,
Thank you for your honest and insightful thoughts from your heart. I could not agree with everything that you said more. You just said it so beautifully.
God Bless you, Patty
