When Life Hands You Lemons

My good friend Dixie and her husband are getting ready to serve an LDS mission.....so they went to get their physicals, they thought no problem.......not. They both had test results come back with positive cancer signs. Her husband Paul's cancer is Colon and Dixie's Breast. What a blow to your spirit, but Dixie and Paul are both so positive. They both have commented on what a blessing it was to have to get a physical. They both are now doing what ever they need to so that they can get out on that mission. Today Paul got great news his little cancer was removed and he will now under go a mild cancer treatment to keep it all away.....Dixie however is going in for a double mastectomy tomorrow. She is a little apprehensive as anyone might be, but she is still so positive. She made me laugh, she told me that she was getting a great deal, two surgeries at once. "When it is all over I will now be a B cup instead of a D." So funny!
Life is all about the attitude. Looking at the awful and finding the one bright spot no matter how small it may be. Gary is great at finding the sunshine at the darkest moment....and it is all about finding the tiny bright spot that makes you a survivor.
My thoughts and prays are with Dixie this day, and with all those who are suffering. I pray that they may all find a pin point of light to help them through the darkness of their trials.
When life gives yo lemons make lemonade!
