I have come to the realization that things are all about your prospective on then. I got up this morning and had a stiff neck. It hurt every time I turned my head, but I found out just a few minutes ago that I was not having nearly as bad of day as I thought I was. My sister just called me and told me that our nephew who is only in his early 40's has had a really bad relapse on his cancer. She said it is back with a vengeance and has spread a lot. The doctor said there is nothing they can do for it, but we are not that willing to give up that easily he will be going to the Pittsburgh Pa hospital for a second opinion. If any of you would like to try to help prayers for him would be appreciated. His name is Ricky. My sister also told me my sister in law ( his mother) pancreatitis has flared up. His brother's wife will need surgery for another condition, and his niece my great niece will also need surgery on her legs. How is it even a little fair for a grandmother her son, her daughter in law and her granddaughter to all have these kinds of health issues all at one time. As if that were not bad enough the holidays are not that far away. I hope the doctors in our town were wrong and Rick is not as bad as they think. It will serenely not be a Merry Christmas for our family if he does not get better. I thought when I woke up with the stiff neck I was having a bad day, but I now see after all that my brother's family is going through that I was really having a good day till I found out my nephew is sick again.
NEVER THINK YOU HAVE A BAD LIFE NO MATTER HOW BAD IT IS BECAUSE THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE A LITTLE WORSE. I am reminded of a story a comedian once told about his teen years he had bad acne and felt sorry for himself. One day he came upon a guy in a wheel chair with no legs and he realized that his acne problem was nothing, because he could have no legs. He stopped feeling bad for himself and felt bad for the poor guy in the chair. As he walked past the guy in the chair he heard him say to his companion WOW did you see that kids face? Just goes to show it is all in how we see things. What looks like the end of the world to us and makes up feel sorry for ourselves can turn out to be nothing more then a pain in the neck, and it could always be worse.
If this touches any of you please pray for my nephew. We had a lot of people praying for my dad when he had his stroke ad he pulled through it without any penalization or memory loss, so prayer works when done in mass.
No pun intended.
