Candle for Cancer

Friday is world cancer day. So many people that I know have been affected by cancer. Some have lived while others have died. Some I never even had the chance to know, like my grandfather. Some where all to young to have been taken from this earth, like a young girl whom I had the pleasure of working on. Some were taken due to lung cancer yet had never even smoked 1 cigarette. My grandmother was taken due to ovarian cancer. Her sister had breast cancer. My mother, colon cancer. I thank the Lord that she has been cancer-free for awhile. My husband has a 12 yr old cousin battling right now and it has him paralyzed. He has been in the hospital since January. He just thought he was having back pain. Cancer is a scary disease. It strikes young and old. The power of prayer is a wonderful thing. So I pray Lord for a cure. For a cure for every type of cancer there is. I pray for those that are suffering now. that you would heal them or take them home so they are no longer in pain. Be with those that are left behind trying to figure out how to go on. Lord, awaken the mind of the scientist that is tirelessly working on this 1 cure and help him have that Aha moment. The world is waiting. Thank you for the life you give everyday. Amen.
