Just another day of waiting...

Good morning. A short night, thanks to steroids. I took a short nap when I got home yesterday since they gave me benadryl during treatment, but by 11pm, I was somewhat wide awake. Typical first night! I've learned to give in to it and putter until I'm sleepy, then snuggle up in my chair and pray/read/rest until I can fall asleep. It was around 1 last night, then awake at 4:30.


Today, I have the pleasure of a longer morning with the girls - Megan doesn't need to go into work until noon, so we can catch up some. Then, I have a couple of friends coming to visit from quite a distance before they go see family. I'm looking forward to catching up with them as well!  They are fully aware that I get tired and they are easy friends to be with.


"God's thumbnail" got bigger last night...anyone see it? That's what we've always called the sliver of moon that starts to show since it looks like a fingernail. Just a little trivia...


This morning, from Jesus "Calling"

"Stop trying to work things out before their times have come. Accept the limitations of living one day at a time. When something comes to your attention, ask Me whether or not it is part of today's duties. when you follow this practice, there will be a beautiful simplicity about your life: a time for everything, and everything in its time...Though the world around you is messy and confusing, remember that I have overcome the world. I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have Peace."

John 16:33

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Jesus had just finished talking about how the disciples will no longer see Him. They didn't understand until He spoke more clearly, which He did. He reassured them that they would not see Him but have the Holy Spirit, that God loved them because they loved His Son.  He didn't placate them and made it very clear there would be trouble HERE, but that ultimately they had the power of the Holy Spirit and the promise of heaven and being with Him. 


Thankful thoughts:

• My cleaning angels!! Thank you so much for such a fresh homecoming for me yesterday and a load off our plates with company coming. SUCH a blessing!
• Ringing the bell yesterday as my 'graduation' from chemo!
• Certain songs that just get me every time
• Connections with new friends. 
• Meals from friends. They have proven to be a greater gift than I could have ever hoped for. 
• The coming moonlight at night. It is a comfort when I can't sleep. Hope it's not too cloudy when it comes!

Have a blessed day.
