When you come right down to it, we should think hard about the important things in this short life, and do our best to make them better, applying whatever talents we have.
I guess I'm doing just a little bit of reflection this afternoon...
A short time ago (about 6:30pm), I took a phone call from one of our dear lady friends. She reported the results of a biopsy that she had received just a few minutes before she called us.
The "verdict" was cancer of the lymph nodes and the breast.
Our friend doesn't yet know the extent of the cancer; she'll find out next Tuesday. My wife and I told her she'll be in our prayers even more so than before.
This special lady is seventy-five-years-old, but you would never know it; positive and faith-filled. She is the former probably because of the latter, as the two generally go hand-in-hand.
If there is to be suffering for this lady, knowing her the way we do, she'll offer it up for the sick, or the holy souls in Purgatory. And she will also accept God's will in this new challenge on her ultimate journey. This is not just my rambling, but her attitude as well.
I would ask those that may read this article to keep her in your prayers, and while you're at it, continue to pray for our country.
