Life offers us difficult times.......I have postponed this post for several weeks now, I have an older brother who a few weeks ago learned he has lung cancer, fortunately it is stage 1. Neal is 80 yrs. young, has had A very good life, since I learned of his condition I have ask God to grant him the strength and courage to endure his storm and grant me the right words to discuss with my brother his present storm he is passing through....Neal & I are closer than I was with any of my other 3 older brothers. I suppose God places in our mouth the right words at the right time, one of our 1st chats I mentioned that if it were me I would try to be thankful that it was me and not one of my children or grand-children. The next day he called and told me how much that meant to him, now he is thankful, maybe not for the cancer but for it being his storm and not others in his family. Today I went out for a long walk and he called and we chatted for my entire walk and talked a little about much stuff then his trip with cancer, It is truly difficult to talk with someone who is facing such struggles, yet, it is promising to feel the power of the Holy Spirit giving the correct words to say at the right thing at the right time, seeing as how I am famous for "opening mouth---inserting foot", you can see how much I appreciate all the help I can muster up. To pass on to someone that --YES, this life is good, but the best is yet to come and discuss this a blessing offered to few, well maybe to many, but few tackle the issue. NOW!!! Why this post, friends, somewhere along your life's journey you most likely will find your self I'm my place-----it is easy to put off until tomorrow, then this is what my dad taught me about tomorrow---"tomorrow is the today of yesterday"---- a lot of times when someone comes down with cancer or other bad life situations it is easiest for us to to say, well I get to it tomorrow and tomorrow never gets here and our friend or family member is left alone. I suppose what I am trying to pass on to y'all should you be confronted by my situation, "LEAN ON THE HOLY SPIRIT"----trust me, He will carry your through and the sick person will be richly blessed. It is so easy to say I will keep you on my prayer list, but sometimes more is needed, listen to that little voice inside of you and step out in faith-----one last point, you will be blest with stronger faith
