Sometimes, we just need to pray..

This last month, I feel many people I know have become ill with serious ailments. Not the typical, run of the mill flus, etc...but tumors, cancers, etc..

How sad this makes me. This people are not 80, they are, in fact, in their 30's and one in Charlle's preschool class. The first is my friend Ann's brother who has been struggling with Leukemia for awhile now. He just finished med school, got married, etc..now fighting. Prayers for this awesome man! The second is my cousins' kid, Alison who discovered a brain tumor in Dec. She starts radiation soon for a stage 2 brain tumor. She also faces many battles with her son Owen who has epilepsy. Prayers all around for that family! And lastly, Charlie has a classmate, Blake, who was just diagnosed with Burkitts Lymphoma cancer. So prayers to this family as they deal with chemo and a little person who will need tons of love!

I wonder what causes this in young people. I wonder what is in our environment that we do not know, I wonder what food we consume to cause this, or is it purely genetic or purely random. I do not know, nor do so many others, but all I can hope is that God, who is ever powerful and ever righteous willl fix this. If not fix, then comfort the ailing. 

Oh, the world is full of such pain. But God is so good, right? Remember to count blessings daily, send notes, reach out, and love.
