ouch

It just hit me like a brick. I didn't expect this (do we ever?). My oldest brother is fighting cancer - thank you Viet Nam - for the third time since 2002. One of his options this time is a stem cell transplant from siblings. Of course, I'm willing to give it a try on my part. More than anything I wish I could pass on to him "life everlasting" but that is his to unwrap for himself. What hit me like a brick was that he is my oldest brother. With both parents gone, he is the oldest of my family unit. And we need him around for a lot longer. So, thank you, God for answering the prayer that this cancer will lose once again. I'm thanking You now for the glorious revealing of your divine healing that will be a testimony in this family and for those around them. Thank you that we can stand on Your promises. Thank you for your mercy and grace. Thank you for hope and love. Most of all, thank you for LOVE.
