A relative just got some terrible news from the doctor - "The C word" - the disease is so dreaded that we often can't face even saying the word. He has had tests and more tests and now Chemotherepy will be starting soon. He was preparing his young grandson for the side effects of the treatment he will recieve and he discovered something that we should ALL understand! Here is what my relative said that made a difference for me.
In the car on the way to school the other morning, {my grandson} asked why I am going to take medicine to make me sick. I told him I needed some pain to get some gain. His reply to me was “Just like Jesus dying on the cross to take away our sins.” I knew then that this kid gets it and two years of paying for Christian School was worth every cent. Bob, I don’t know why I am going through this, but God does and that is all that matters. One day I may know but for now I just go with it.
Wow -- He Gets it - they both do!
