"Let Him do to me whatever seems good to Him." This comes from a book that I am reading by Andy Stanley called "The Principle of the Path". He tells a story about a woman, Debbie, who attended his church and passed away from cancer several years ago. When people are diagnosed with cancer, the question 'why me' sometimes pops into their head. They think about how they don't deserve the pain and suffering they are about to go through. Andy goes on to tell us that Debbie looked at her cancer in a totally different light. He quotes her, "Once I was able to accept the cancer as coming from the hand of my heavenly Father, I was okay." This story blew me away and really got me thinking. Now, I know none of us have cancer or anything of the sort, but we can apply this story to any part of our lives. What if we looked at all negative things in our life like this? I for sure want to! #foodforthethought
