Thank you, God
Good Morning God. I just wanted to thank you for this wonderful morning and this wonderful day you have blessed me with. Maybe it is cold outside and I will get to walk in the freshness that cool mornings bring. Or maybe it is warm outside and I will get to feel the warm sun on my face. Thank you God that today I get to clean the toilets and do the laundry. Yeah, I know I've complained about that in the past and I am sorry. I just want to thank you that I have the energy to do that today. I thank you God that today I can taste my food and that this chemo drug doesnt' seem to be making everying taste like metal. I love tasting all the great food you have provided for us. I thank you God that my hair is growing back in so that I can wear a ballcap instead of a wig. I thank you God that my hair is falling out so now shaving my legs is no longer on my to do list. I thank you God when my kids behave like they should and I enjoy them and their laughter. Thank you God when they misbehave and I know that I am still needed. Thank you for zipping hummingbirds, babbling brooks,warm blankets, wonderful friends and a loving husband. Thank you for the sunrise and the sunset. You're awesome. Amen.

Is everything different to you now...versus before you were diagnosed? Your life, your kids, husband, God, etc.
That's a beautiful prayer. I wish we could all have such perspective...even before something so painful.
thank you god for our beautiful staci!
I'm no saint. I still struggle, but yes I admit that I do see things very differently now. Everything just seems more precious and I just want to drink it all in. Even those mundane tasks. Things are put into better perspective as to what is important and what is not. I continue to pray that God keeps me totally engaged in the moment I am in and with the people around me and to quit worrying so much about what needs to be done tomorrow.
Staci, this is beautiful. Thank you, God for giving this precious woman the courage and ability to share this journey with her readers, each of which are very important to You. I know that You desire to use Staci's words to change something in our hearts.
OH, that we might know Him and love Him more and more each day.
Thank you, Staci...Im so glad to have found your blog. :)
Lord, thank you for Staci's life. Thank you for her trial. May you continue to be made perfect thru her weakness. May you continue to be lifted up in her suffering. Hold her close...let her KNOW the depths of Your love for her in her innermost being!
