The Gift

I’m a cancer survivor.

Those who know me, know that I waged a successful 18-month long battle against two different cancers – at the same time. Two separate primary cancers are not common and the survival rates aren’t always the best. But, I was able to wage a successful battle against neck and throat cancer and non-Hodgkins lymphoma with the brilliant help from an amazing group of medical professionals at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.

We all live challenging lives in one way or another. Every day brings a new adventure. And whether or not you consider your current life situation as a blessing or a curse, every day is still a gift.

So during this holiday season, when we all exchange gifts with one another, I ask that you to remember the gift we receive every day.

Every wonder why people refer to time as the past, the present and the future?

Because every day is “a present.”

How will you enjoy yours today?

      I like this thought –that everyday is a “present”—-This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!! Thank you—Becky
