DOXOLOGY - Praise God!

We had unexpected great news today. I called my Oncologist to inquire about trying to get to her to see my father-in-law. (He is in ICU in the hospital at Brookhaven, MS being treated for double pneumonia. Pray that God would enable his body to heal up enough to continue his cancer treatments, and if they should move to UAB or not.) But they told me "Congratulations on the good news!" They proceeded to tell that the pathology report was just posted on their system, and it all came back CANCER FREE! The one swollen lymph node was totally necrotic (dead tissue). All the others came back benign with no indication of cancer!

We are so blessed and overwhelmed with thanksgivings and praise. Although it would be true even if I had not received this news, this just magnifies in my spirit and soul in an experiential and very sweet way the truth of Isaiah 30:18-19: Therefore the Lord longs to be gracious to you, and therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; How blessed are all those who long for Him. [19] O people in Zion, inhabitant in Jerusalem, you will weep no longer. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will answer you.

Please join us in praising Him for His grace, compassion and mercy on me and my family! THANK YOU for your faithfulness in praying for us. Rejoice that He has used YOU and your prayers to bless us and accomplish His will!
