My mother has kidney cancer. Every 3 months she has to fly to Houston to get top-of-the-line chemo treatments. She lives 1500 miles from Houston, and pays through the roof for this stuff. Am I glad she's able to get this service? Of course. But I don't see them as blessings. My mom, who is retired, still has to work as a substitute teacher so she can afford this shit. Science and her incredible determination is keeping her alive, not grace from some sky daddy. Faith and blessings get no credit from me. She's earned her survival, it wasn't a free ticket, like many Christians would tell you it is.
And yes, she is a faithful Christian.
