Interesting day

 

 

Today‘s been an interesting day. We often think all our troubles are so important, and then something happens and once again we realize that all the little things we strive for and worry over don't mean a thing.

 

Today the news was confirmed, my friend has an aggressive strain of cervical cancer...

 

It is not something I understand nor want to, all I know is now I have a friend who is very scared, with few options.. What do you do at times like this?

 

Often times during my worst moments I wished someone was there, someone who cared, someone to hold me and tell me all would be well... Someone did.. The Lord did.. Because it was during those times when I cryed out to Him and received more comforting than any human ever could... I was never alone.

 

So here we are today. What does one do? Send notes of love? Be there when the phone rings in the middle of the night? Hugs? Allows her to cry and morn?... Yes all those things and more... What would I want ? What would I need?.... As times moves along and we " Bear one anothers burdens" ... Its the times we spend together that count, the time spent. Not what we do so much, but how...

 

Her time may be short, but still I tell her... "You will beat this thing, you will get through this.. We will do this together..."

 

It's all to easy for some to stay away from the suffering, because they would not know what to say... But we can't do that, and we should not...
