God help me to accept things I can not change


One of the hardest things to accept is death. I was blessed to have several biological sisters. One of my older sisters that I was very fond of got very sick. Later on she had to have major surgery. When the surgery was finished, the doctor came in and told us that they found a cancerous tumor in her body. He said this type of cancer was aggressive. This was very hard for me to take in. My sister that I love so much might not be with us much longer. It was so hard to see someone you love, spent many day with laughing, and crying with, slowly slip away.

I had the Faith to believe God for her healing, but God had other plans for her life. This was one of the hardest things for me to accept. I was reminded in the Bible that God's grace is sufficient for me. God helped me to accept the things I can not change. I began to allow the healing to take place in my life. I had to let go and let God...

My sister passed away months later, but the love she imparted in our lives was so overwhelming. I can see my sister in her children. I feel her in the songs I hear that she used to sing. The Death of a Love One is so hard to bear and accept, but God will see you through it, if you let him.
