You were told that you were dying, you prayed constantly to live long enough to see your children grown, yet you grew worse and death became a very close doorway, minutes away. Then when you prayed and said "Ok God, I am ready, I will follow where you lead me, I accept death if You will it, only to rebound and slowly over a bit of time recover from that which was hopeless. How would you feel and react? Me I intend to live, love, and serve.
Pax et Bonum,
Debra

I would guess that even the water taste better now. By surrendering all we show the greatest faith and loyalty. This is cause for great joy.

I would be grateful for a chance to live and grow again. I would analyze things and know each day is a gift. Yesterday's gone, tomorrow's not promised, so I only have today. I would want to live, love, and serve. And if there's anything I need to do different, I would. I would have even stronger faith, and fear death no more.
I used to be afraid of death, but not anymore. I have not been at death's door, but I have been in circumstances where my life could have ended short. One of them being the day I was born. I was born in seven months.
I have to remind myself not to get too over confident about living long.
You come up with some really inspiring question, dear! Love you! And God bless the fact a way have been paved where I can know about you, even if it's only via pc!

Defiantly live, love and serve, Every day I am alive ,I thank God for the day because, I've had cancer, overcame it and I have heart problems and my oldest daughter(11) died.
When my middle child was born I did die for a few minutes and although I am sad I'm not in Heaven right now, it has given me the opportunity to do more good, so now when it happens for real, I may have a better chance. Once you die and come back, you try your hardest to get back there.
I know how quickly life can go by, once second you're here and the next your not.
All the days of my life I will live, love and serve because death can come most unexpectedly.

I'd be a changed person, for sure... can't say how exactly but I know a person couldn't walk on the ledge of Death and not re-evaluate some things.
Best of luck Debra, if that's you in the story. Hope you are well for good now.

I know sometimes it may seem like God isn't listening to our or answering our prayers, but He is. There are times when God wants to see if our faith and confidence in Him will stand even though we pray and it seems like things get worse. May your intention be granted unto you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, that you will have a full recovery with no trace of disease. He was beaten for our diseases every disease we may have he bore a stripe for it. God Bless

hi, Queen: There are too many pink flags and you already know, needless to say, in case you motivate undesirable habit, God will carry you responsible. i like the verse, "If a guy shall no longer artwork, neither enable them to consume." they are on your territory and you positioned the regulations and limits. in the event that they do no longer agree, deliver them on their way. be sure there's a time decrease, and that they are using for suggestions. i've got helped many people and can purely think of of one man or woman that repaid what they have been loaned. And whilst they are in, and you have had greater effective than you could take, those people you have helped will unquestionably be your enemy once you ask them to depart. be cautious, Ben Yeshua

I'd laugh, it reminds me of this Zen paradox: Enlightenment cannot be gained by working towards it, but only by working towards it can we gain the experience that is necessary to realizing that work is futile, and the secret to enlightenment lies in that realization. This sounds the same way, you had to constantly pray to recover in order to realize that it is better to accept your situation, and as soon as you realized that the thing that you were working towards was granted to you. The world is a mysterious place indeed...

I would praise Him for answering my prayer AND for allowing me to draw closer to Him in the process! I have never been on my death bed, but I have been healed from an illness that would have led me there. It is an awesome and humbling feeling to know that God still has a purpose for you, even when you are ready and willing to go on home to Him.

I would take that blessing and run with it. I would defs bring as much joy to others as knowing I had recovered brought to me. You were given a great blessing, and are under no obligation to return the favor, but it sounds like you are of your own free will, and that's awesome. I am deeply inspired by your story and wish you well.

I do not think I am strong enough to survive in this situation.
But I am ready to go every day, just because of my Navy submarine days, it's something I have accepted.
I can't express how amazingly happy I am to have you back in R&S. The only drawback is I have to think more :(
Peace.
