What’s Your Family’s Medical History?

We’ve been seeing a lot of medical doctors, filling out a lot of medical forms, completing questionaires with questions like “Does your family have history of illness: heart disease? diabetes? cancer? etc.” And, as a matter of fact….there have been cases of those diseases in our family.

In a little family discussion last night, we were encouraging ourselves with God’s Word — faith, trust and hope, and then Staci said, “What if there was such a thing as a “Spiritual Doctor” who, rather than asking your family’s disease history, asked, “Does your family have history of notable miracles?”

With that thought, we quickly shifted our thoughts to the Source of miracles. We thought about Ron’s Dad, who at age 62, was diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer. He had surgery, and was told he had just a short time to live, but, with his trust and faith in God, lived another 15 years. How’s that for “FAMILY HISTORY” facts? And how’s that for “good genes”? I think we’ll stake our claim on those genetics. I Chronicles 16:12 “Remember the miracles He performed, the amazing things He did and the judgments He pronounced!” Really….with God all things are possible!
