Fewer hairs to count!

Matthew 10:29-31

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. 30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

My little bit of stubble is getting more and more sparse...still soft to the touch though! I don't know if the rest will come out or not, but it is no matter either way. Mom reminded me today of this verse and I thought I would share it with you. It takes on new meaning when you are so aware of your hair, or lack of it. We are indeed fearfully and wonderfully made! The Lord certainly has fewer hairs to track these days, but He counted every one as it fell out and knows how many will grow back! I take comfort in that...

Thankful thoughts:
  • Buddy driving me around today
  • Hothouse girls that are so kind and understanding...and take care of their own dishes!
  • Getting the house back to normal..tree is gone! Sorta nice and sad at the same time.
  • A lovely stranger who reached out at Walmart...could see I was 'hairless' under my hat and asked if I was battling cancer. She is a 5-year survivor of colon cancer. So lovely and so encouraging.
  • Another day without meds.  :)
  • The beautiful warm air today. Mmmmm...
  • Morning coffee with the kids today. And it tasted pretty normal...end of the cycle, some things subside.
  • Sleeping in a bit! First time in weeks.
  • A puppy's head resting gently on my lap. She knows...

That's it for now. This weekend is a quiet one, with fewer side effects and I am thankful for the reprieve. Hope you are all enjoying this lovely weekend. Is it really January?!

God bless,
Andi
