O God,thy sea is so great;my boat is so small!

Spending a good part of the day yesterday in the Cancer Hospital with a dear family member while she began yet another series of Chemotherapy,I came away,both humbled and feeling rather helpless at my inability to take away the pain of a mass of hurting people,both patients and caretakers.I left there feeling ashamed at my complaints,suddenly made to look pretty minute in the face of such pain and suffering.I also came away more determined to make the most of all the moments of my life,not sweat the small stuff,etc.
My what an equalizer the word,Cancer,becomes!No respector of race,age,class or status of life.I heard the cries of small children,saw the elderly and infirm,too weak to hold up their head as they received their treatment.With bowed head,I sat,humbled,asking God yet again,for strength to help those who had no strength,to help point them to Him,our all enduring strength.
"God is our refuge and strength,a very present help in time of trouble"
