A true story about a time of my life when I had much to be thankful for, and so I celebrated with those I love, xo
It was my twentyfifth wedding anniversary, I wanted to look beautiful
after twenty five years of wedding bliss two kids and a life of plentiful
I wanted to give thanks to God for bringing me a man whos love goal
was to adore me in wholeness, individuality, and passionate affection;
At the age of forty four I was in the prime of my life working and living
I loved life with all my heart and God was the center point of my loving
then suddenly without notice I found a lump in my breast and I froze
everything paced in slow motion as I waited for test results to return
In the meantime I had a party to attend to so I wrote out the guest list
and went to buy the most beautiful dress, and a corsage for my wrist
the dress was made of taffeta, thin strapped and wide in princess style
all the while I waited by the phone for that call that would say your fine
Time became of essence as I waited for an answer to my health issue
I asked God to spare my life for sake of my kids, as I cried in a tissue
The phone call arrived and the sun returned in my life, "it was benign"
I extoled life in a banquet hall surround by family as I danced all night
in my beautiful blue taffeta, giving thanks for my life to God above,
No matter what happens in life I now know, I'll always need His LOVE*
INDEED, MYSTIC, INDEED! SO ENJOYED, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL, INSPIRING SHARING OF...FAITH AND CELEBRATION! LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
Many others have not had your good fortune. Until breast cancer is cured, it will always hang over women (and men) as an evil that must be faced with courage and treatment.
My mother had a scare one time with a lump in her breast. Like yours, hers was benign. She just turned 95, January 2. Apparently, breast lumps are quite common.
'Benign' in this instance is the best kind of adjective. And it's true, our lives are in the Creator's hands. It amazes me Vie, and scares me too, (in a reverential way) that God wants us to communicate. We have instant, direct access to Him. A story here with a happy ending. I like those kinds.
