Hope ya'll don't mind a praise. James 1:17 says, "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows..."
Five years ago to the month, I had a good portion of my right cheek removed (that would be the face, not the other end) after a biopsy revealed a Clark's stage III melanoma. At the time, the mortality rate was 80% after five years for stage III tumors. Following the surgery, I went through a year of high dosage interferon treatment (not a lot of fun). However, two amazing things happened, miracles if you will. They biopsied 30+ lymph nodes removed in the surgery--not one had detectable melanoma. The second was I was able to keep working (just barely) through my interferon treatment. Many, many people prayed in my church and family. I thank God for them.
So, everything looks clear and I praise God today for His mercies in my life.
If you haven't hugged your SO or kids today, don't miss the chance.
God bless.
