I have decided that this is my new motto!
As most of you know and have donated in years past, the fall season usually brings the annual Celebration of Hope walk in Richmond. The event is hosted by B.R.A.I.N., a non-profit group that Daniel and I helped start with some good friends of ours, Kevin and Marguerite.
Unfortunately though, plans for this years events were put on hold as Marguerite (the main hostess) started to spiral downward in her brain tumor battle. Recently, Kevin made the decision to bring in hospice services and Marguerite was given only weeks to live. I went to visit with her a few weeks ago and it was so hard to see her in that condition. Please remember them in your prayers.
BRAIN TUMORS SUCK!
As much as I hate brain tumors, I am so thankful for the Lord and the healing He provides; even if it isn't physical healing. The Lord has been gracious to me when it comes to my own healing as well. Recently, I heard this song on the radio and I was overwhelmed by the lyrics. I could almost hear Daniel's voice saying these words to me. Daniel left a legacy that was focused on the Lord and His prayers for me were consistently the same things. This song defines those things.
So, as much as I hate brain tumors, I am thankful that they do not define the people they impact. Rather, those people impact us, the ones left behind.
I hate brain tumors, but I am thankful for what I have learned because of them and the person I am because of what I went through with Daniel. I am thankful for the time that I had with Daniel and all the times he shared with me his prayers for my future without him. I am thankful for songs like this one. Thankful that the Lord continues to provide healing in many forms.
Thank you Daniel.
Thank you God!
