I agree with your thoughts. I have worked in the healthcare field and I have watched as people were afraid of dying and then I have seen those who are afraid of letting go of their loved one. This is the reason I strongly hope to encourage others to grow spiritually. It is so important to study scripture for ourselves and ask God the tough questions so we can find rest in Him. Thanks for sharing. God Bless.

Swords raised! 🙂

I am going to have to adopt that thinking — my scars are tattoos with better stories! So perfect. Stay well and thanks for the great comment.

Lovely story of resilience and strengthened faith.

I love this. Thank you for sharing. I too have battled cancer (not to the extent of what you went through), and I have a permanent scar to prove it and it is visible when I wear capris or shorts. My daughter once told me my scars were tattoos with better stories. I decided her to adopt her comment as my own and go with it, so my scar remains.

Very touching story. I lost my dad at age fourteen to a vehicle accident. I too suffered much grief, but I didn’t blame God, instead I blamed myself and what I thought was a lack of faith. I prayed and asked God to make sure my dad was okay on the way to the hospital, but we never made it to the hospital before we learned he had died instantly. It took many years for my heart to heal and for me to realize I had faith, and my dad was okay and safe in His arms. I was okay as well and God wanted to grow me and my faith. It wasn’t until I accepted all my faith should be in Him alone did I began the process of healing and moving forward. Thank you for sharing your story. I like your blog also.

Oh! And due to your encouragement I shared that older post again today on my author page and on twitter. Thank you!
