5 Reasons Leukemia has been a blessing in Disguise

1. I have never been closer in my marriage, more forgiving of faults, and more loving. TJ and I are more patient with our children and we have an increased testimony that families are eternal.
2. Prior to this diagnosis, my prayers seemed rote, without real meaning, and more of a duty than a privilege. Since I found out about the Leukemia, I have been able to draw so much strength from my Heavenly Father, and prayer and scripture study have become something I really cherish.
3. I have seen more good in the world than ever before. From strangers smiling and saying hello, nurses and doctors, and health care workers who so selflessly serve, and family, long time friends and new acquaintances who have been so kind, loving, and willing to help.
4. Heavenly Father's plan for our lives and salvation has become so much clearer, I can see that He is the one in charge, not me, and I have faith that whatever happens, it will work out for the best.
5. I have been able to reconnect with so many friends and family members who have touched my life in the past, and now they are touching my life for good again. I have been so blessed to know so many great people from all walks of life. The strength I draw from you all is immeasurable. I feel like Jimmy Stewart in "It's a Wonderful Life." I am so humbled to hear that myself and my family are in your prayers, you are all in mine as well.
