It's ugly...

Upon hearing the news of the passing of a 22 year old man from my hometown that touched countless lives, I am reminded again of something we must live with in this world….cancer. This past year there have been so many I have known personally who have been diagnosed with some form of cancer. When I hear of someone else being diagnosed, I often find myself full of questions… Why this person? Why do they have to suffer? Why can’t there be a cure? Why this family? I have seen the impact cancer has on the physical body as well as the way it touches the lives of the family members who battle alongside their loved one. My heart breaks for them. Cancer is just so ugly to me.

Read the rest of my devotional today at Laced With Grace.

Have a day of blessings!

Unfortunately, our fallen world is full of illness and disease. The amazing thing is that God does perform miraculous healings. I am one of those who was touched by his healing hand--in my twenties I was diagnosed with cervical cancer and was healed through prayer. If you're interested, I blogged about my experience at Chrysalis.

Meanwhile, when you have a minute, come pick up your Sunshine Award ღ.
