You are Lord

My mother informed me just now that my father’s cancer has returned.

This time the lymph nodes in his left thigh are afflicted. His thigh is now swollen, along with his groin, because the waste and toxins that are usually expelled by the body through the lymph nodes have been prevented from doing so by the buildup of cancer cells.

I’m not too sure what to make of this. There’s a certain sense of “here we go again” but also the lifting of my head to the sky and asking my Father, “So what do You have planned for me and my family this time?”.

Perhaps it’s a not-too-subtle indication from Him that there’s simply too much that’s unresolved in the family that needs to be dealt with. Maybe it’s all these things that are clogging up the heartways in the family.

Once again, i kneel before You, Father – You are Lord.
