Cancer has infiltrated our family. . .a very serious cancer. One of my older brothers received the sobering news about one month ago, and all of a sudden life changed. As with many who have walked this path before us, emotions are running the gamut as we pull together to support our beloved son/brother/uncle during the days ahead. Naturally, we are all praying for divine healing, but we are also trusting in God's perfect will for Doug's life. We know that our Heavenly Father is always good and faithful to his children, and he will supply the grace needed to meet each day as it comes.
Several years ago, when John Piper was diagnosed with cancer, he wrote down ten ways a Christian can waste his cancer. We do not have to respond to this life-threatening illness in the same manner as does the world, because we are not without hope. I so appreciate Dr. Piper's encouraging perspective that I thought others would also benefit from reading "Don't Waste Your Cancer." (Click for link.) This booklet will be helpful for any life-threatening illness.
