Celebrating Life
Twenty six years ago, my heart raced between the walls of my chest as I heard the dreaded word from my physician … cancer. Today, after the mercy and healing power of the Great Healer, prayer, the support of family and friends, an amazing medical team, and a complete lifestyle change with the help and guidance of my expert nutritional team Alvira and Shirley ( now deceased ), I am grateful for the gift of life. I no longer have the luxury of my once favorite strawberry cheesecake, pina colada slurpees, or ice cold colas on a hot summer day, but I think life is a better exchange. You may have lost a family member or a friend through cancer, I join you in honoring their memory. You may know someone now battling the dreaded disease. I join you in praying for their recovery. You may be a survivor. I celebrate with you. Will you join me in celebrating? LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered--how fleeting my life is...
