Just this recent Sunday, my wife and I noticed this lady coming out of the driver’s side of a nice car, well made-up, sporting attire, bounce in her stride.
But for the knitted headwear covering a balded head, we did not guess that she is recovering from cancer.
Her will to live out her life is inspiring. My wife and I could not help but affirm the notion that a cheerful outlook and an appropriate fighting spirit would positively affect the outcome of any given trial.
The Bible confirms as much in Proverbs 18:14:
“A man’s spirit sustains him in sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear?”
