Sunshine or Rain

I have to admit that living in North Carolina has spoiled me; I prefer sunshine. Also, living so many years with really good health spoiled me; I prefer health. Still, having cancer has brought so many blessings to my life, both human and divine, that I'm thankful. The other day I read a short rhyme by Henry Van Dyke: If all of life were sunshine/ Our face would long to gain/ And feel once more upon it/ The cooling splash of rain. So even as I pray to be healed, and even as I thank you for praying for that too, today I choose to find the gifts of grace that come because of this "rainy" season in my body. God is good!

I slept well in my propped up pillows again last night, and had energy yesterday to do a good amount of editing and re-writing work. So much to be thankful for. I'm thankful for you too!

Love,
Carol
