Taking for granted

I guess everyone takes something for granted. Whether it be a spouse, a child, a job, their health. Whatever. But as I have said before how God taps us on the shoulder to get our attention and if that doesn’t work he slaps us upside the head, and usually that makes us conscience of something we have been taking for granted.

Recently my husband went to a couple of doctors who have pretty much confirmed he may have a spot of cancer on his head. It is something he has had for several years and when he was somewhat concerned, went to the doctor who told him to put *something* on it. I have forgotten what that was at this point. But, if it didn’t clear up to come back. Of course, he didn’t go back. So now he may be facing the toughest battle of his life. He has an appointment on Monday with a Specialist. At this point he wants nobody to know about it. Not until it has been confirmed one way or another. He would be embarrassed if someone stood up in church to ask for prayers. Isn’t that just like a man? Well, maybe not, I probably would feel the same way.

Anyway, we are in this together as always. But it has made me aware again of how much we take for granted.
