Giving Thanks in November
Friday, November 27, 2009 at 11:47AM 
Today, my thanksgiving cup runneth over! I just learned that Dorothy's results are in and they are beyond good--they are miraculous!
Her doctor feels the test shows only minimal regrowth, not even enough to treat. And her tumor marker which was repeated last week is flat so he recommends not having the radioactive idodine treatment right now! She can go back on her medication!
The world would say that all the worry and feeling rotten and going off her medicine was a waste of time. How wrong they would be! Through this all I have seen Dorothy trusting God and receiving blessings and comfort as she rested in Him. I, myself, have realized afresh how much my dear friend means to me, how much she spurs me on in my faith, and I have been blessed myself with comfort from Christ as I've trusted in Him, too!
All through Dorothy's ordeal three words have been prominent in my mind--"God is good!"
God IS good, whether the news is bad or, like today, better than we could have hoped for!
PRAISE GOD FOR HIS INFINITE MERCIES!

How wrong indeed! I wouldn't trade the intimate fellowship I've had with our good God for anything!
I read Dorothy's post and am ecstatic and praising the Lord for his goodness and mercy! It's been a privilege to read her posts that show her to be a woman of a quiet and gentle spirit toward God that trusts him come what may. And I'm so thankful that what came was a good report!
That is wonderful news, Kim! God is good indeed!! What timing - to have this news on a day set aside especially for giving thanks to God!! :)
