I got a call today . . . . .
A friend (ex-sister in law) was sent home from the hospital to be on hospice. She is a vibrant, caring 39 year old woman (mother to an 8 year old girl, wife, friend, boss, co-worker - all the aspects a woman can be) who was diagnosed on August 16, 2011 with colon cancer. Her only symptom - she was tired.
She has an amazing attitude and these are her words about it to her husband "Jarrod, I don't even feel bad for myself. This is my journey and I am OK with it all. God has me by the hand."
So, my question to you, is who do you know that is struggling with something - anything - that could use a kind word or positive thought from you? It might even be as simple as looking yourself in the mirror and finally believing that you are on your journey and you can be OK with it.
Just something to think about as we go through our daily lives.
