Thankful

Luke 17:11- 19 (Amplified Bible)

11 As He went on His way to Jerusalem, it occurred that [Jesus] was passing [along the border] between Samaria and Galilee.
12 And as He was going into one village, He was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance.
13 And they raised up their voices and called, Jesus, Master, take pity and have mercy on us!
14 And when He saw them, He said to them, Go [at once] and show yourselves to the priests. And as they went, they were cured and made clean.(A)
15 Then one of them, upon seeing that he was cured, turned back, [c]recognizing and thanking and praising God with a loud voice;
16 And he fell prostrate at Jesus' feet, thanking Him [over and over]. And he was a Samaritan.
17 Then Jesus asked, Were not [all] ten cleansed? Where are the nine?
18 Was there no one found to return and to [d]recognize and give thanks and praise to God except this alien?
19 And He said to him, Get up and go on your way. Your faith (your trust and confidence that spring from your belief in God) has restored you to health.

March 6, was a special day for us it was a year ago that I had my surgery. I don't know what I expected that day. I was on edge. I was nervous. I expected GOD to take care of me and Helen no matter what the outcome but it was a rough day for both of us. I did not expect them to discover the thing inside of me was cancer. I did not expect to become part of a research clinical trial, with monoclonal antibodies and low dose radiation and all the other strange stuff that followed. Hopefully, in this entire journey into the unexpected we have brought glory to the GOD. In the natural realm things have worked out well my CRT scan in November and my PET scan in February show no trace of cancer. As part of the clinical trial the doctors at Duke will continue to watch me for five to eight years. We thank the doctors for what they have done. But in the end our faith and hope is in Christ the one who has carried us this far. We are thankful that God has done this for us and we want testify to HIS faithfulness. Our trust in HIS faithfulness it is not dependant on things working out well in just this a small segment of our lives. They have and we are glad and thankful. But no matter what God is good and HE will complete our lives. GOD has been good to Helen and me throughout our lives; we just want to Thank the Lord today for everything.
