Your Dying Spouse 694 - Give Away The Healing {FMF}

It's easy not to resent what's happening to me...I can see the blessings in my life, after all. Can't resent cancer without negating the good things.

But not being upset about what's happening to someone else, that's different.

The other day, I saw a neighbour, a wonderful lady with a first-rate family, out walking.

She has breast cancer, and was a bit tired, so she stopped and we chatted for a bit, about things like learning not to overdo. Hard for both of us.

And how she was not yet in remission.

I could not get the meeting out of my head. I'll gladly settle for less so someone else can get a remission. (And the Five Minute Friday prompt is SETTLE.)

Lord, I don't need your healing

for I do not fear my end,

but if You're up for dealing,

please give it to my friend.

I saw her just the other day,

so small and hurt and brave,

so please, Lord, please find a way,

for it's her You need to save.

Please give her a remission,

please hold her cancer back,

and I'll fulfill mine own mission

of relentless lone attack.

Please, God, restore my friend to health;

take my grace, and I'll find it wealth.

Apropos nothing, here's Laura Branigan, with Gloria.
