What if you were given a gift you did not want? This was a gift that no one would want. Just what do you do with it? That is the position I found myself in and this is the true story of the power of a gift that keeps giving.....because my gift was being diagnosed with breast cancer.
Nearly two years ago, unable to sleep, I began writing my thoughts and fears, as I struggled to wrap my mind around what was the unthinkable, as I wrote --
"Recently, I was given a gift that I do not want. We all get presents from time to time that we do not like,however, this particular one really stunk. I immediately thought about returning it, but unfortunately, I don't know how it was acquired.
I don't even know for sure, who gave it to me. It isn't the kind of gift I would have chosen for myself, or for that matter anyone else. Therefore, re-gifting, selling it, or donating it -- all certainly weren't options.
In fact, I was quite surprised to receive this gift. I had absolutely no reason to ever believe that I would be a recipient of such a life-changing present. If someone had asked me before it arrived, I would have laughed and gave them a list of all the reasons, I personally, would never get such a reward.
I am not the kind of woman given to outward expressions of great emotion, yet upon receiving this gift, I cried." . . . . well if you'd like to hear the rest of the story go to http://hubpages.com/hub/The-Gift-That-Cannot-Be-Returned Hope that my story gives you hope and encouragement!
