Tomorrow is not promised to us!

I have been given another chance by God to show my wife just what she means to me. Friday February 19 at 4:30 am I rushed her to the emergency room with what we thought was a ruptured appendix. Well, after about 4 hours of tests they found a Chocolate cyst that needed to come out. It was the size of a softball. They said that the surgery would take about 30 minutes and she would go home 2 hours after the surgery. OK, cool. Wrong! I walked with them down to the operating room and kissed her goodbye thinking that in 30 to 40 minutes I would see her again. No big deal. Wrong. 30 minutes passed, no word. 60 minutes past, no word. 90 minutes passed, still no word. 2 hours passed, now I am very worried. After the 60 minute mark I called Martin and told him that I was scared, very scared. We prayed and he called others to pray for my wife. Finally after 2 and a half hours the Doctor came out to see me. In my good nature I looked at him and said "took longer than you thought, didn't it?". He said "got a minute, sit down". Wow, I just kind of sank into the chair with a lump in my throat. He said that my wife was a lot worse than we thought. She had 2 cysts the size of softballs. One had ruptured and the fluid (like acid) was eating away at her appendix, ovaries and other stuff. This had been going on for about 20 or 30 years. He stated that they could not do this lapiscopic, they had to cut her open to do this and that it would take her some time to heal. This hit me like a ton of bricks. No 50 tons of bricks. Wow, I at that time just realized that I almost lost my wife, my best friend, my lover, my one and only. At that moment God was telling me that He was giving me one more chance to show my BEAUTIFUL WIFE just how much she means to me and just how important she is in my life. Why was God giving me this chance? What does God want me to learn from this? Was God giving my wife another chance at life too? How is God planning on using this for His Glory?
