What can I say? I know there’s a lot for me to be grateful for this week, but in my mind there’s really only one worth mentioning. This week, I’m grateful for healing.
I’m grateful for doctors who provide medicine and care to help sick people get well…people like my husband, who as of this week is showing signs of responding to the chemotherapy! I’m grateful for the good report we received this week, for the healing Matt is already experiencing, and for knowing that he is officially halfway through with chemo!
I’m grateful for doctors who are thorough, who notice subtle signs that something’s not right…doctors who noticed an unusual birthmark on Crisana at her 2-week checkup, and who ordered x-rays “just to be sure.” To look at my perfectly healthy, active 6-year-old you’d never know there was even a chance that someday she might not be able to walk.
But above and beyond, I’m most grateful for knowing the Great Physician, and knowing that our ultimate healing comes from Him and through Him. I’m grateful that he can not only make sick people well, but also dead people live. Yes, this week I am truly grateful for healing.
