Cancer At Twenty Eight

Cancer at Twenty-Eight (alive at Eighty) Written: by Miracle Man 8/29/2019 A diagnosis of Cancer, Had me at life’s turning point. I sought the face of Jesus, Believing He’d anoint. All I saw were steep odds, Stacked against my person. And without divine help, My situation would worsen. I sought forgiveness for sin, And was no longer a scorner. Then God delivered me, From a hopeless corner. A loving God could foresee, What was about to transpire. That day, out of love, He’d set my fields on fire.

Sunlite, two years ago I had major back surgery; 15 days later, i fell requiring 10 head staples, same day was admitted to Hospital & had open heart surgery, (The Widow Maker) 3 days later on New years day 2017 had sudden cardiac arrest (only 8% survive). fell again and got 19 staples in head. and God is still blessing me. Doctors told my wife I had little chance of surviving as i had 16 drip bags going into me. 7 days later i had 1 and doctors said they couldn't explain it- that i should be dead. But for those of faith, we can. Perhaps my only function for being here is my testimony for HIM. I'm just an old dog who's seen a few rough days. ha Thanks for your comment and have a great Labor Day Weekend. Tom
