SUNDAY MEMORIES
Judy Wills
I’ve written before about my bout with cancer. I seem to document my life with “before cancer” and then “after cancer.” That’s probably not the best way to do it, but things just look different after cancer.
After I had been diagnosed – but before surgery and treatment – there was a minister/evangelist who came to our church for a weekend service. He was not only a preacher, but also a musician. Great voice…wonderful message.
I had known of the scripture – Psalm 46:10 (Be still and know that I am God) for many years. But this 
man performed a song that really touched me. He used those words, but he inserted a couple of words that touched me deeply. He sang “Be still – my child – and know that I am God.” It certainly made that verse very personal to me. It reminded me, again, that I am, indeed, a child of God’s, and that He loves me greatly. I had known all that, ever since I had given Him my heart, but sometimes I just needed to be reminded of it. God certainly got my attention with my diagnosis!
It was such a simple thing – just the addition of those two words in that song – but it meant so much to me at that time of my life. And it’s something that I’ve never forgotten. Nor do I want to.
