She's home, safe and sound...

The Lord indeed orchestrated so many details this week that we couldn't have worked out and I am thankful. Buddy's mother passed away yesterday afternoon, and we are thankful she is no longer suffering. There are some sad days ahead, for sure, as we adjust. But we are very glad that she didn't linger and is now home with the Lord. There were some very sweet moments in the last days, and I am grateful for that for Buddy and his dear sister, Tina. I am also thankful that I will be well enough to sing at her memorial, since my treatment was postponed..."all things work together for good, to those that love the Lord, to those that are called according to His purpose." That verse rings true this week...He is so very good.

I had my blood drawn today to check levels again and will know Monday if I can go ahead with treatment on Tuesday. Hope I can...ready to move on this new drug and see what it's got up its sleeve. Just ready to move on!

Thankful thoughts:

• Hearing the chatter and laughter of girls upstairs as they get ready for the progressive dinner. Such nice kids.
• Seeing my kids growing in so many ways recently
• That Megan and Kristen could be with Buddy yesterday, since I couldn't
• For Al Kimball and his willing, servant heart
• My strong and brave husband
• My birdfeeder...simple source of calm

Looking forward to filling you in on my next treatment, since that means that I will be moving on!  Never side-effect free, but it is nice to be able to function fairly well this week.

Philippians 1:9-11

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.

Philippians has always been one of my favorite books in the Bible. So many great thoughts and lessons to learn...

Blessings to you all.
