Courage

Webster's Dictionary defines COURAGE as being FEARLESS or possessing a BRAVE QUALITY.

Today I experienced what it really means. It is a young mother with a three year old son told she will again be fighting the fight of her life. Now for the third time she will muster up all her courage and go up against what so many of us fear-A recurrence of cancer.

To see the determination in her beautiful face, the tenacity with which less than 24 hours after bad news she looks this challenge straight in the eye and will not give into this horrendous disease that robs its sufferers of the ability to participate fully in their lives.

To see such courage is awe inspiring to me. I walk beside her in my prayers but know that truly if anyone can beat this it is this lovely young woman with fire in her eyes and courage in her heart.

I ask those of you who pray keep her close-We will let God know she has the courage for the fight of her life and with his help all things are possible.
