Maybe the only true cure for cancer is compassion?
As the disease spreads, so does kindness. No matter how aggressive of a cancer it is, I’ve never seen it outgrow compassion.
When this bully shows up to threaten a life, love promptly shows up to defend and fight back.
Unlikely people and communities band together.
The many languages of love soften the grim diagnosis.
Financial & logistical worries shrink with selfless donations of money, time, and acts of service.
Thoughtful gifts bring much needed joy.
Hands are held, hugs are given, & tears aren’t shed alone.
Words of hope resonate louder & echo more than any of the scary medical lingo .
Ceaseless praying seems to be the only thing that keeps the fear at bay.
During the fight, silver linings are discovered in the darkest of circumstances: blessings counted, hope sought, strength found, grievances forgiven, souls saved, priorities reorganized, selfishness eradicated, hearts mended & lives changed forever.
Cancer may win some battles, but LOVE wins the war!
