Six years ago, when Becky had breast cancer, she openly marveled at how that experience had been a blessing to her. It reinvigorated her in many ways. Now, with a diagnosis of a much more serious and life-threatening cancer, she again sees how God can still use these events as a gift. I came across the following TED Talk by Stacey Kramer and sent it to Becky, figuring she would relate to it. She responded, WOW!!! She nailed it!!! That’s exactly how I feel. EXACTLY! Per Stacey, here are the results of this gift... It will bring your family together. You will feel loved and appreciated like never before. Youll reconnect with friends and acquaintances you havent heard from in years. Adoration and admiration will overwhelm you. It will re-calibrate whats most important in your life. Youll meet new people. Flowers will arrive. People will say to you, You look great! Youll be challenged, inspired, motivated and humbled. Your life will have new meaning. While we all may not want this gift, she noted, I wouldnt change my experience...it profoundly altered my life in ways I didnt expect...so the next time youre faced with something thats unexpected...unwanted...and uncertain...consider that it just may be a gift. https://ted/talks/stacey_kramer_the_best_gift_i_ever_survived
