Yesterday I learned, unexpectedly quickly, that the biopsy taken from my right breast showed only benign cells. This was, for me, pure grace: an unmerited blessing for which I am deeply grateful. There are other graces, too, in this experience. One was the gentility and kindness of the medical staff I was blessed to have. Another was you, my friend, who carried me along with prayer and kind thoughts.
Today I am keenly aware that many women received different news yesterday, news that has upended their lives and will cause them to evaluate the friends who will be with them, no matter what. For them, for myself, and for you I pray these words of Lady Julian's:
“But all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.”
May we experience and appreciate this "shewing" of divine love in our lives.
Your words make my eyes prickle and I feel keenly honored to be your friend, and you mine.
So thankful you're okay.
