Terminal Cancer - Misdiagnosed or a Miracle?

Ever wondered what it would be like to be diagnosed with terminal cancer and only have a few months to live? I was having pain in my gut and went to a doctor for help. He performed his exam on a Friday afternoon and recommended I go to a specialist immediately. He said I had cancer in an advanced stage and because I was young and the cancer so progressed, it meant the cancer was aggressive and fast growing. He said it was likely I only had a few months to live. That was Friday and I couldn't get in to see a specialist until Monday.

The thought of death by cancer in a few months is a bit troublesome. Cora and I began to pray. Monday I went to see the specialist. He was a bit dumbfounded. He asked who the doctor was that diagnosed me as a terminal cancer patient. He then said I was cancer free and didn't even need additional tests to confirm it. God works in mysterious ways. I prefer to think the 1st doctor's diagnosis was correct and God worked a miracle of healing in our life. I had no further symptons. That was about 25 years ago.

Has God worked a miracle of healing in your life or someone you love?

"God is kind and merciful. He takes a deep breath, puts up with a lot, This most patient God, extravagant in love, always ready to cancel catastrophe. Who knows? Maybe he'll do it now..." Joel 2:13
