HAPPY THANKSGIVING! How many times have we seen this today? 5, 50, 100? November is usually a "thankful month" with everyone posting on FaceBook a daily "thanks" and it goes on for the whole month. Well I did not post anything daily intentionally. You see, Im just THANKFUL!
Almost 6 years ago, I was diagnosed with stage IV cancer on my larynx. Squamous cell carcinoma. OH HOW I HATE those words. I dont know any other words that are more frightening than, "you have cancer". Im a big guy, Ive been around the block, Ive been to Viet Nam, but when I got to the car after that Dr said that to me and laid out a grim plan, WHICH I refused to go along with, I CRIED like a baby. Couldnt help it, it just came.
So where am I going with this? Im FOREVER THANKFUL that GOD healed me. I KNOW some are going to scoff at that, but its an UNDENIABLE fact. Some will say, "Well He did it with help from medicine", UH God DOES NOT need help, YES sometimes He does that, but I dont believe that in my case. I had our Pastor, Jeff Perry, pray for me when I first had the "official" word. I remember like it was yesterday. If you all have read my blogs in the past you pretty much know the story, but the short story is, that just a few days AFTER Pastor prayed for me, a PET scan showed NO evidence of the cancer. There had been only ONE chemo treatment, and the cancer was gone. NOT something that usually happens. YES I did the prescribed treatments, but it was gone almost before treatments.
So now you know the reason Im FOREVER THANKFUL! Actually thats only part of the reason, I have an amazing wife, an amazing daughter, an amazing son in law, and 2 grandsons that are off the chart. AND I have great friends.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, and be thankful EVERY day
