This is going to be quick my dear sweet readers…but I just have to take the time to tell you how well I am doing these days.
After that harrowing time of blood clots and such in the hospital…I am doing very well.
There are 3 different nurses and social workers checking on me weekly which is a comfort, but perhaps the best medicine is my son and his girlfriend who have moved to Florida to be with me.
It has given the Captain a bit of relief and has been such a blessing to me.
We still have more chemo and radiation to go through, but being able to get up and get dressed and put on a bit of make-up has really given me a lift.
This last chemo treatment was so much easier as far as side effects….that I questioned the dosage.
Thank you God for holding me and orchestrating all through this process.
My son has moved into our home and is available night or day for any need I have.
It never ceases to amaze me at how God prepares the way and it all falls into place.
2 Peter 3: 8,9
“ But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”
Proverbs 16:9
“ In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.”
Lamentations 3:25, 26
“The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.”
The last thing we think of doing in bad situations is waiting. We tend to act hastily without actually thinking or fleeing the issue to avoid certain emotions or the reality of our choices.
We also don’t often do this quietly either.
When we put our hope in the Lord we find that we can stand quietly and still, giving it over to God since He is in control in the first place.
God is always good and has given us the gift of salvation through his son, Jesus Christ.
So we should stand still in the middle of the storm and know God is there and is in control.
Sweet readers,…I am standing still in the middle of a storm….and letting go …letting God do His will.
Thank you again for all your support and cards and letters.
I love you all.
I have even managed to read a few of your blogs as I adjust to vision issues and a slight dizzy-ness.
And all I have to say about that is keep up the great work my dear colleagues.
You are all inspirational and so talented.
I miss setting a pretty table…but one of these days I will surprise you.
I will keep you posted as I continue on this journey.
Hugs and blessings always
