A couple of people have asked if I ever question, "Why me?"
Yes, I do. Here are some of my recent thoughts...
Why was I born in this country, where the latest in medical technology is so readily available? People as close as Canada (50 miles from here) are waiting months to get a biopsy, then just as long to start treatment, so why was I able to start chemo the day after this diagnosis?
In a state where many have lost their jobs, why do I have medical insurance to help us pay for all of this?
Why me? I was born into a wonderful family, married the man of my dreams and have been given two healthy, beautiful daughters. Why have I been given the privilege of being not only their mother, but their teacher as well, spending every precious day with them?
Why do I not worry about my family having food to eat, clothes to wear and shelter?
Why have I been surrounded by friends, family and neighbors who are willing to sacrifice their time and resources to help us? Many in this same situation feel alone and overwhelmed, yet we are supported and encouraged every day.
Do I ask, "Why me?" You bet I do!
Please read Matthew 6:25- 34 and be encouraged!
