Stand-up comedian and former \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d cast member Jim Breuer recently expressed gratitude to God amid the news that his wife was diagnosed with cancer.<\/p>\n
Breuer is known for his comedic roles in films like \u201cHalf Baked\u201d and \u201cZookeeper.\u201d He discussed his wife\u2019s health in an episode of \u201cThe Brueniverse Podcast\u201d earlier this month. In an announcement about his wife, Dee, Breuer said, \u201cThe doctors said, \u2018There\u2019s] nothing we can do. [The cancer] is everywhere.\u201d After learning about his wife\u2019s diagnosis, he said, \u201cYour life as you know it changes like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
After that, Breuer immediately turned to a friend for comfort, and his friend asked about his relationship with God. His friend asked, \u201cI know you\u2019re spiritual, and you believe in\u00a0God, and your wife is deep into the Word of Jesus and born-again; she found her faith many years ago. How does that affect that now?\u201d<\/p>\n
Breuer\u2019s friend also asked if Breuer was mad at God over his wife\u2019s lengthy cancer battle. Surprisingly, Breuer said that he wasn\u2019t mad at all. He replied that he wasn\u2019t angry at what was being taken away or what he won\u2019t have anymore. Instead, he\u2019s choosing to feel blessed for what he had and still has. Breuer continued, \u201cDo you know how many people never had the relationship I did and still have? Do you know how many incredible, lifesaving, emotional, deep-saving moments I\u2019ve had with my wife, Dee?\u201d<\/p>\n
Breuer also said he\u2019s grateful for his three children, the time he\u2019s gotten to spend with Dee over the years, and their rewarding relationship. He also encouraged others to take tragic times to appreciate other blessings in life, saying, \u201cStart looking at the beauty right in front of you with yourself. I\u2019ll never be mad at God. I cannot believe the beauty that surrounds me. I can\u2019t believe the beauty that is given to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
