Pray for My Grandfather

I'll keep this brief, as I really don't have the words to say what I want to.

Please keep my grandfather, Robert Jones (Grandaddy Bob to me & my cousins), in your prayers. He is currently 79 (I believe) and he has just been diagnosed with cancer. We received the news last week, and after further tests, we now know that it has spread throughout his entire body and doctors are only giving him a few more weeks to a couple more months to live. The doctors have already informed him that he has it, and that he will not be able to leave the hospital. They are doing their best now to make sure that his last days are as good as they can be under the circumstances.

Also, please pray for everyone who is affected by this news. My grandmother (Granny), my mother, all of my mom's brothers & sisters, as well as all my cousins, and anyone else affected by the news. We have already lost one member of our family (my aunt Joyce, my mom's sister) around 10 years ago to cancer. Please pray for peace and understanding in the midst of this circumstance.

As for me, I'm okay, better than I thought I would be hearing the news. I guess it's because I have a great respect for God and His workings, knowing that He is sovereign in all things. I have come to grips with the realization that all things are for His glory, and know without a doubt that He will get the glory out of this situation, just like any other.

So yes, all prayers are welcome. Thank you and God bless!
