A Visit With the Surgeon

We visited the surgeon yesterday.  It was a little scary and a lot sobering.  But surgery is at least 2 mos away and I will worry about that when it comes.  In the meantime, my plan is still intact.  One day, one procedure, one Doctor at at time until I am cancer free.

Am I ostriching?   No way.  I am aware of what is going on.  I have simply chosen to concern myself only with today's troubles.  Here are some holy words that speak to this:

Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?

“And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are.  And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?

“So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’  These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.  Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. 

“So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today."  
(Excerpted from The Sermon on the Mount, Matthew's Gospel, chapter 6, New Living Translation)

(Ostriching:  from the verb "to ostrich"-   putting your head in the sand so that you can ignore your problems.  This action also requires your butt in the air decorated with a sign that says "kickme")
