Strange How Things Happen

I have been thinking lately about how things happen in our lives.  Maybe that comes with getting old (er).  People that we have met, places we have lived, things we have seen and done.  Old friends who have now passed on.  Maybe I should have entitled this "How Time Flies".  We have had two old friends pass away within the last two days.  One day they are here and then they are gone - gone to a better place, but that is the hard part for us that are left behind.

A couple of days ago Don and I were in, what would be called, a minor automobile accident.  I hit my head pretty good and so off I went to Queens Hospital in Honolulu.  There they examined me and decided that  a CT scan was a good idea.  I had no damage from the accident, but low and behold, they found a "mass" in my brain.  It is probably a meningioma. New word for me, and one I never wanted to learn  - for sure.  They are usually non-malignant tumors, but can be very bothersome as they grow.  So, was the "accident" really an accident, or was it Heavenly Father's plan for me to find this growth.  Don and I believe it was a blessing and was meant to happen.

Am I scared - yes, very.  Am I nervous?  Of course.  But one thing that I know beyond a shadow of a doubt is that Heavenly Father has a plan for me, and whatever that is, I can face.   As Don said yesterday, "Faith Precedes the Miracle".  So I am going forth with faith that all will be well, whatever may come.
