Temporary Suffering

I don't know what if you just become more aware, but it seems like there are a lot more people I know that are being diagnosed with cancer. It's hard, even when you have been around the block like this girl. You want to tell them that it will be okay, but you don't really know that. So, you end up being silent or saying the bare minimum. It's easier to not say anything than flub something up. It also seems to be a time when friends or family of friends are going in for serious surgeries. There is a lot of emotional and physical suffering going on right now, and I want to let them all know that this is temporary. All this that they're going through will end. It will be worth it and God will make you stronger because of it.

"For I consider the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us."
Romans 8:18
