My friend has cancer.
She has had it a while and has been doing amazingly well.
But today, I found out that the cancer was in a place that the doctor's hadn't tested.
I just want to cry.
I want to plead up into the heavens for mercy for her.
The day before yesterday a friend's granddaughter was born.
And this is the way we soujourn upon the earth.
In the words of Hillary Weeks -
"You Give"
You Give me sight
When I can't see.
You give me breathe
When I cant breathe
And You give me love
And You give me peace
And You always seem to give
Just what I need
You take my doubt
And replace it with truth
You take my fear
So all I can see is You
And You take me by the hand
You see to my soul
And You take just what I need
Chorus-
You give and take away
And refine me day by day
As You lead me through the bitter and sweet
I am trusting You to make me complete
Though You see the heartache
You're sending Your sweet grace
A You give
and You take
--
You give me strength
And You give me life
You give me hope
And You give me light
You take my pain
And You take my shame
You bless me to see the give and take
Is just what I need
--chorus--
Please send Your perfect grace
As You give
And You take
May God bless you R and little baby J as he gives and he takes!
