While we wait

    Lara,  Jarod and Lilly just walked away and through a door that may change their lives forever. As I sit here in the waiting room with all these families waiting right along with me with their sick children, it occurs to me what a bubble I live in. These are families just like mine, worried and eating potatoes chips, walking around with beautiful faces a bald head devouring a chocolate chip cookies. They are in wheel chairs wrapped up in blankets drinking Big Red and arguing with their mothers. Cartoons play loudly  helping to muffle everyones thoughts as one more of Gods little children check in with colorful bandaids, no hair, as a big ole smile shines through when they see their favorite nurses come out for them. Interesting, the world of cancer I wonder as I sit and watch, what events placed the desire in these Drs. lives that made them want to devote the rest of their lives helping sick children. Looks like to me  it could only be a calling from the Almighty, weather they know it or not.

     My prayer here in this place, for these people is this, that You, Father would make yourself known to these families in such a way that their whole families would recognize your presences, as you surely have for mine. That we would change from a people who only cries out to you when were in trouble or scared, into a people who live every minute in truth,  the truth that you are in control of all things and we are not. Accept that our lives will change at any moment. Help us Lord to understand you are the only constant or stable thing in anyones life, that you are the final and ultimate Physician. Strengthen us, enable us to walk with joy when we realize we never had control in the first place. Without you Jesus  we don't have our next breath, much less the courage to care for our families.  Thank you for the blessing of these smiling, sticky faced children. Thank you for creating the heart of a parent, only YOU could design something so amazing. Thank you for showing yourself, through a broken and sinful people who are trying to love and take care of one another. Only you, can make a children's  cancer waiting room glow with your peaceful GLORY. Only, the one true God could have done this while we wait...

He is my favorite,
