Patty had been through so...

Patty had been through so much, she survived a scare with cancer, undergoing radiation
and chemotherapy that left her weak. For over a month she rested, seldom leaving her
house.
Her family rallied behind her, as did her church. Many people prayed for her. At one point Patty said she felt the prayers of the congregation. Through the dark ways she felt lifted up by their prayers, as well as cards and notes of encouragement. When she received a good report from the doctor, her family and church family rejoiced with her.
Three years later, Patty was back in the hospital with congestive heart failure. Once again, her family and church family rallied behind her. Some questioned why this had happened after all she had been through. Ten days later, Patty came home from the hospital with the love and support of her family and church.
In spite of lingering questions, Patty managed to keep a positive attitude. Like Job, Patty clung to her relationship with God, knowing God would not desert her and would not let her down.
