Karen Melby remembers when her husband Scott walked up to his sister and uttered these words.

Thanks for saving my life.

And it was actually quite an emotional moment, and she got kind of teary, and, I mean, he said it before,

but that particular moment was just sweet.

It was this sweet interaction between the two of them.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast for Wednesday, October 21st, 2015.

Thanksgiving can transform the most terrible of circumstances. We started exploring that

with Scott and Karen Melby yesterday. Scott was diagnosed

with a rare form of leukemia. Through a painful process of treatment, he learned a lot about

the transforming power of gratitude. I thought if I could learn to be grateful, if I could learn to

be thankful in this situation, I could learn to be thankful in this situation,

I could learn to be thankful in any situation.

Scott got out of the hospital,

and our team recorded that interview with him at his home last year.

I'm just praying,

help us not to miss any lesson that you have for us in this.

You know, we want to learn everything that you want to

teach us through this entire process. And so we still pray that today, that we won't miss today's

lesson. And what's this week's lesson that you want to teach us for? After that interview was

recorded, Scott underwent a blood transfusion and had many more ups and downs.

Tomorrow, Scott and Karen will tell Nancy where they are now in this process. But today,

we'll hear a moving message Karen gave while Scott had just undergone the blood transfusion.
