Let me live until I die...

I have a quote to share from the calendar that sits on my desk (a gift from a dear friend)...

"When I first found out I had cancer, I didn't know what to pray for. I didn't know if I should pray for healing or life or death. Then I found peace in praying for what my folks call 'God's perfect will.' As it evolved, my prayer has become, 'Lord, let me live until I die.' By that, I mean I want to live, love, and serve fully until death comes. If that prayer is answere,...how long really doesn't matter." (Sister Thea Bowman)

I loved that! "Let me live until I die." A great sentiment, I think.
