Greetings and peace be with you hisnameiszzz;
Wow. Look at you Eric H. You are a true inspiration. I wish I could think more like you.
It is within your power to do the same, we face many challenges in life that seem beyond our control. The cancer issue for me was too complex, if it was my time to die, and I prayed for healing, there would be no guarantees my prayers would be answered. Millions of people die from cancer, many of them would have prayed for healing, and still die.
In many ways it would have made total sense for me to pray for healing, because about twenty years before I had my cancer, I witnessed what I describe as a miracle.
I watched my mum suffer with multiple sclerosis for around twenty years. She could not move her arms or legs for about ten years, everything had to be done for her. She said she wanted to die.
She went into a coma and was rushed to hospital, her breathing was a horrible gurgling sound, the doctors said she had days to live and there was nothing they could do. My mum was brought up a Catholic and though none of us went to church at the time, we thought we should call a priest, it was just going through the motions for us. As the priest prayed, her breathing changed from a horrible gurgle to a more relaxed state, minutes after the priest left my mum came round; and she lived for ano0ther eleven years.
Later she told us she was not ready to die at the time, despite all her suffering. Where the doctors failed to help her, I believe that God did through the priest.
The outcome was both a blessing and a curse, as she was still paralysed from the neck down. But I looked at my mum over all those years of suffering, and she is the strongest and kindest person that I shall ever meet.
I have come to understand late in life, that there are more important things than good health.
In the spirit of praying to One God,
Eric
