Amy Robach's Gift

Amy Robach, Good Morning America Host
 I have 'very little family history," Robach wrote on the network website, and I "considered it virtually impossible that I would have cancer."  Yet she did...and at age 40--some 50 years before the standard mammogram is given and despite criticism that mammograms are ineffective predictors.  Where would she be now without that test?  One more point.  She had the test done live on her show. It was another way to draw viewers.  But it saved her life.  What was meant for others came back as a gift for herself.  Now, the story is making the social media rounds--and hopefully, to save other lives as well.

Just sheer luck that she had this mammogram?  Only a gimmick to draw viewers?  Yet, it is the Spirit of God to use our extremity for God's opportunity. Now that this has happened, Amy, how will you treat your life and what will you take for granted?  A taste of our own mortality wakes us up to the truth of our temporal lives and an openness to their gift.
