I am at the oncologists' infusion center. Today is my IVIg treatment. As always, I've been non-productive due to the premedications that induce a deep sleep. I am awake now as their effects had just worn off but additional premedications were just administered. It won't be long until more zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's.
Today, I looked at each chair in the infusion room -- supporting a life. Man or woman, young or old ..... cancer is no respector of age, sex, race, or economic status. I listened to conversations filled with hope and others punctuated with fear. Faith-filled words were uttered by some. Anger and frustration rolled off the tongues of others. One obvious difference emerged in today's conversations. Those with a personal relationship with God could face the difficulties of today because of the hope and promise of eternal life when our earthly vessels shatter and break.
I prayed. I asked the Lord to reveal Himself to each life in each chair. My heart breaks for each life attacked by cancer. I cannot imagine the Lord's heartache at the suffering of His children. Move, Lord, in this room today. Heal bodies. Save souls. Encourage hearts. Grant peace. Instill hope.

You're in my thoughts and prayers today as you go through this treatment! And I join you in prayer for those others undergoing treatment for cancer (including my sister's father-in-law). I ask God to reveal himself to those who feel as though they are without hope, and to lift those who know their hope is in Heaven!
