Phone rings...

I will both lay me down in Peace, and sleep;
for thou Lord only makest me dwell in safety

Phone rings late...for my house anyway. It's Deena! My silly, funny friend who I love so very much. She always makes me laugh. I think I make her laugh also with my "country talk"...she calls me sweetie. So, she shares with me the best news...out shopping, cell phone rings, has no idea how to turn off speaker...MRI shows that the tumors that are not gone are less than half the size they were originally. So excited, I hope I remember it correctly. Quickly, I whisper, "Thank you Lord for this miracle". "HE" is using Deena in such a way...a way that has touched so many lives, even those who are well, healthy. She has brought such joy to my life since first meeting her years ago, Pre cancer. Yet she's still the same Deena.

God in Heaven, today I thank you for the miracle of healing, answered prayers, hope, lasting friendships. Let me remember these moments which bring warmth to my heart.
