God Is There
"My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him." -- Psalm 62:1
Emotions swirl around me as I listen to the doctor's words. More extensive than last time, he says. He speaks of drain tubes and recovery time. I almost don't hear him say they caught it so early it is barely cancer.
This spot, so dangerous in its innocence, isn't related to the other cancerous spot removed last fall. The words are meant to comfort and ease our anxiety. He is a good doctor, a compassionate man filled with experience in just this kind of thing.
Tears are held back. Deep breathes are taken. We will do what must be done. Gratitude erupts within us. It could be so very much worse. Recovery and pain are inevitable but doable.
But in the still of the night, when uncertainty and fear erupt, only One remains. He wraps His loving arms around me and comforts me with His words. Peace fills my soul as I remember that He is in control. I place my Mother's fate into His loving care. All will be okay, no matter what the days ahead hold.
