Ron topped off his month of having the flu with a colonoscopy. Sadly, it revealed pre-cancerous tumors.
His mother having died one year ago almost to the date of his colonoscopy from colon cancer, it was an emotional find. We both really took a hit.
But in a way, her losing her life will likely save his--early detection is the key. So there is not much to be worried about in the long run, God willing. But it is still sad in its own way.
A month ago, I had a prayer time in which I felt like God was saying, "Are you ready?" That usually means ". . . ready for a crisis." I do not know why He is so good to me, to often give me a little "heads up." He does it almost every time I am about to have a problem--it is really, really gentle and kind of Him!! I told Him I was more than ready. I clung onto the Cross like it was a lifesaver.
I do not know if this is the crisis He meant. But the image came to me again in Mass on Sunday. I was hanging onto the Cross like an inner tube as I was flying through rapids. I was taken aback by the image. Then I remembered my prayer from a month ago.
I love His Cross. It is my safety, my comfort, and my happiness!
