Today, I'm feeling very thankful for the many blessings in my life.
January was a hard month! My hubby had some health issues and has just returned to work. My oldest son also was having some health issues and he will have to have surgery in May.
And my DIL suffered a miscarriage.
Yet, through it all, we've seen God working and we've seen answers to prayer.
The day before Valentines Day, I had an appointment with my surgeon concerning the results of my surgery which I also had in January. Many of you might remember that I had asked for prayer.
I am happy to report that my doctor had good news for me; I don't have cancer. Everything was benign.
Now, after a year of tests, biopsies, and surgery, I am ready to get on with my life.
Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,
And you will be singing as the days go by. - Oatman
Today is a new day and I thank God that my future as well as my family's is in His hands. Whatever our circumstances, we can trust God to take care of them.
"Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you." - Psalm 55:22
Because God cares about us, we can leave our cares with Him.
I will be joining Charlotte at Spiritual Sundays. Please stop by and visit her and all the inspirational posts others have to offer.

I am so happy to hear that your test results are good! Thank the Lord...
ReplyDeleteNot an easy time for your family. Very happy that your test results are good. Prayers for all.
ReplyDeleteI am pleased your test results show you are healthy, and I said a prayer for health for your family.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you and yours, I'm happy for you, my father past away in October for a cancer, I have been praiing so much, but his destiny wasn't to go on with us.
ReplyDeleteBig hugs!
Such happy news about your surgery results! Praise the Lord - and glad to know your hubby is back to work. Ed was out of work, too, for 10 weeks and just after going back he had to have a skin eruption removed. They got it all and he is clear. The Lord being Lord in it all.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear of your DIL loss of the baby - and your son's upcoming surgery. May the Lord continue to be the great healer in all your lives . . .
Joy in the Journey!

You really do have the deepest faith and the best positive upbeat attitude, Sandi.
ReplyDeleteIt is inspirational to me - I am having a really high stress and way-too-busy-to-do-anything-I-really-want-to-do kind of week, and your post touhed my heart, thanks so much.
Big hugs,
Michele
Life is certainly never without challenges and tests to our Faith but God is faithful.
ReplyDeleteGrateful that you have had good news regarding your health and so sorry to hear the news of your DIL..that is painful!

Blessings to you- Tete
