A Lament for Leukemia
This week, my small group is covering the chapter from my not-yet-published book Praying with the Psalmists about Thanksgiving Psalms. Since I want them to try praying their own thanksgiving psalm, I'm planning to take up the challenge myself.
But then my family got some terrible news -- and I need to write a lament first.
Here's a picture of my brother's family, which I took in Maui last December at my sister's wedding.
Their middle child, Meredith, six years old, this week relapsed with leukemia. Her first diagnosis with leukemia was January 2020, when she was three years old. She went through two years of treatments and appointments and one year ago was given a clean bill of health, and we all thought it was over and done.
So this is quite a blow. (And anyone reading this, please say a prayer for Meredith.)
