Now , THAT is something to be thankful about . She is preparing to leave the hospital and relocate to a rehabilitation facility to regain all her faculties . Still , the battle isn ’ t over . You see her dis-ease is stage 4
It was in the midst of being dis-eased that I was able to receive just a little bit more of the blessings God had for me .
lung cancer . Lung cancer for someone who is a songbird seems ironic .
I know God uses the foolish things of this life to confound the wise . Please , don ’ t misread this . I ’ m in no way calling cancer foolish , but what I am saying is that even in this dis-eased situation God gets the glory . She continues to praise God despite her dis-ease .
Others might feel down , depressed , angry , or become despondent , which anyone would understand . But , all she has given God is praise , thankfulness and gratitude . Typically I would share some strategies to increase your gratefulness . Not this time .
However , I do have some questions :
• How do you handle dis-ease ?
• Are you thankful or do you ask God why ?
• Do you give God praise ; or do you complain about what ’ s happening ?
• Do you stand on the Word of God ; or do you fret over what you see in front of you ?
The bible tells us a few things about thankfulness :
• We will have trials and tribulations , but do not take it to heart for He has overcome the world . John 16:33 . Amplified Version
