When illness comes to a loved one

God is good. All of the time, God is good.

He works all things together for good.

He makes all things perfect in His time.

On the way to Michigan we received a phone call. My aunt, who has been having trouble recovering from gall bladder surgery last month, was told two days ago that she has pancreatic cancer.

Many thoughts come to mind, and I struggle to trust in the LORD and be thankful, all the while knowing full well that this cancer is a death sentence. But maybe the tests were wrong.

This doesn't seem real. How is this happening?

But mostly I'm just numb.
