Dear God,

You remind us of your miracle work.  You invite us to consider our blessings.  You breathe new life in us.

Tonight I attended my granddaughter's high school basketball game.  A fantastic, scrappy player, I looked forward to seeing her play one of her last games.  What I did not expect was to receive a flower during the introduction of the starting five players.  Because they were honoring cancer survivors, she ran off the floor, up the stairs and gave me a beautiful red rose and a warm hug.

Twenty-six years, it has been 26 years since I was diagnosed with breast cancer.  With two kinds of cancer, I underwent a radical mastectomy.  I was declared cancer free on December 26, 1997.

What a journey that was!  Visions, guidance, peace, joy and deep faith all came to me during that very scary time.  I would not trade your wondrous gifts for a return of my breast because it was such a life-transforming time!  And it was all because of you, Amazing, Compassionate God!

Thank you

for the reminder

of your

healing work

in my life.

Thank you

for not only

eradicating cancer

in my body

but also

changing my

emotional and

spiritual life.

You are God;

there is absolutely

no god

like you!

Yours, Andrea
