Please Pray

I just hung up the phone with a dear friend who is heading to the oncologist's office for the "bad news" about his wife. They were given the "good news" over the phone. Cancer is a scary thing to face anytime, especially something if you are a 40 something mom and wife working hard to help your family thrive. My heart breaks.

I've been there--the uncertainty, the fear, the imaginings. A couple of years ago, it was my wife we were waiting to hear about. We were just sure she had MS. However, for us the news was more good than bad. No MS. Still, so many symptoms remain to this day that we wonder if they really got the diagnosis completely right. I can't imagine being the wife who is waiting for the news. I know full well what it is like to be the helpless husband who can't, no matter how hard he tries, no matter how much he wants, make things better. It is emasculating, it is humbling, it can be crippling. So, as I pray for my friends, I ask anyone who might pass by this site to pray as well.

Peace of Christ to you.
