From Denny Cumber:God loves me and He wants what’s best for me. How many times did I say that to myself, over and over, as a mantra, trying to calm my fears? This summer I underwent serious surgery. It was planned - to avoid the probability of an emergency surgery. So what was the big deal? But any time I talked about or thought about the upcoming surgery, the tears would flow. Talk about foolish! Still, I am who I am and my friends were very solicitous of me. But the point in writing this article is to reaffirm two things we all know: God does love us and yes, prayer works. I am an intelligent woman. Why was I so upset? I suppose it didn’t help that as a former surgical nurse, I knew all the things that could go wrong. I also remembered vividly the uncomfortable or painful procedures that were part of this surgery. But what I didn’t really count on was the tangible evidence of prayer. I prayed; my friends and family prayed; I was prayed over by my group reunion and my choir, Joyful Noise; I received the sacrament of the sick. I covered all the bases. In retrospect, I see that I was like Peter who after our Lord invited him to walk on the water, did so successfully until fear gripped him and he stopped trusting in Jesus. But God was so good to me. He didn’t leave me alone as I faltered. This experience confirms for me that God’s love is transforming, even when we struggle to hang on - perhaps especially when we struggle to hang on. Thank you, God, and thanks to all of you as community, for caring for me, further evidence of our Lord’s love. De Colores, Denny Cumber From Florence Miller:
Thank you to the Cursillo Community of Arlington for your prayers and Mass card for my Mother. She is now at eternal rest and with our Brother Jesus. De Colores, Florence Miller |
