It took me all week but I finally got to send my handwritten note!
I had been meaning to write this woman, to express my gratitude towards her for her amazing attitude. She was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago and I hadn't seen her until recently. A few weeks after she was diagnosed, her husband lost his job. The first thing out of any one's mouth would be, "Why me? Why at this time?" But her take on it was the complete opposite! She saw it as a blessing, that her husband would now be able to take her to appointments and be by her side during this trying time.
For the short time I was able to visit with her, nothing but good things came out of her mouth. She's able to see the Lord's hand in all and has realized that he has a plan for her and she's going to enjoy the ride.
Since our visit, I haven't had a day go by where I haven't thought of her. Anything that may cause me to think, "Ugh! Why?!" is quickly pushed away by a positive thought.
I love when people of other faiths can have a positive influence on my testimony. Her faith and acceptance of His will is contagious.
So score! My goal was completed and my testimony strengthened.
