DANCE WITH DADDY AGAIN
Daddy at Relay for Life 2009 OCTOBER and NOVEMBER 2009 Last month my daddy was told his Pancreatic Cancer was back and he even had a few spots in the abdomen which of course, would cause many to fear and be sad. As I was told this my heart again broke…how am I going to deal with this? My precious dad whom I hold dear to my heart is very very sick. Of course I know what the books say and the oncologist’s…and I hate it! I hate it! But God has plans more than I can comprehend. I do not pretend to understand all his plans and how He will work it all out to where we will be OK. But it’s true…God loves daddy more and I have to learn to understand that just like when my son and brother and mother went to heaven. As I drove with my husband to see daddy I thought how much I wanted to hold him in my arms and dance. For dancing with daddy is the greatest thing as his daughter. I want to dance with my daddy again and I am praying God will give me that opportunity. I imagine him holding me and that wonderful daddy grin of pride as we dance. I want another chance to dance with daddy! “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1 So what is the purpose of all this loss I am asking our Lord? How can I accept my losses and live a life worthy of what God has called me to do? I really know the answer deep within me and it truly requires to trust him with all my heart and not to lean on my own understanding. That’s it! Fear is the biggest barrier to trust…we must give that fear to God and trust Him to carry us all through life’s difficulties and especially losses. Have you experienced testing beyond comprehension? Have you been frozen by fear of tomorrow? What about today is there fear in your heart to where you have no joy? Do you want to dance with your daddy again? Here is a promise I have found: “In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength.” Isaiah 30:15 Return to the Lord and give him that fear. Then be still and quiet and His confidence will fill your heart and you will gain strength for those most difficult of days. I will dance with my daddy again but it will be God’s time not mine. Cherish those you love no matter what you face this day! Love Mammy
