Today is Thank God for Family, Friends and Favour Friday! This Friday, on the eve’s eve of Christmas, I want to take time to thank God for:
1) The still small voice who prompted me to do a self-examination earlier this year, which led to my early breast cancer diagnosis. I thank God for the Holy Spirit’s prompting.
2) The doctors who came my way through various relationships – my breast surgeon, plastic surgeon and oncologist – and have been a blessing with their skills and care
3) The friendship and favour from many whom I got to know over these 6 months
4) The prayers and support from friends from many circles of friendship, from past work circles to school friends of over 20-30 years to Caleb’s Kindy, amongst others
5) God’s provisions through big and small needs, from our insurance coverage to seeing me through surgery without pain and chemotherapy with minimal side effects
6) My parents who have helped ferry Caleb to Kindy and his other activities since my 1st June diagnosis
7) The bible readings that have revealed to me so many truths these few months, especially on health and healing
8) The words impressed upon me multiple times on heart issues which I have been unpacking and releasing – a detoxing of the heart
9) Ben, who has stoically supported me through this wilderness period and is a wonderful dad to Caleb
10) For Christmas – for Jesus Christ, who came to bring forgiveness, peace and love to this broken world
Psalms 119:165 Those who love your teachings will find true peace
Jeremiah 29:13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart
“These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I would go with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God with glad shouts and songs of praise” – Psalms 42:4
