Our Kathy set up the "meal train" (http://mealtrain.com/158773) on the internet which has helped us so much. I have appreciated all the meals that people have fixed and have brought. We especially like the visits when our friends or friends that we have never met, bring in the meals. Actually, if there is more than we can eat at once, we just freeze it and have it for lunch or another time.
Another thing I am thankful for are the weeks off I have had between treatments. I expected when this all started, that I would be "sick" most of the time, but, the way it is working, because of the holidays and because of my "advocate" with the cancer center, Ruthie, she got me skipped again another week because it was too close and I really have a hard time with keeping hydrated. I love the feeling of being well, at least a whole week. Thank you Lord for that!
I have spent some time working on my funeral. I know it sounds "morbid" to work on your funeral service, but, as our lawyer told us, it is good to let people know what you would like so they don't have to "guess"after you are gone:) I love that. Since I have sung at so many church services, weddings and funerals, I have been part of lots of orders of worship and sat through many eulogies.
Ok, enough of that subject, but I did have to mention it.
I have a stye on my eyelid which I am in the process of checking what to do. I will put a hot compress on 3 times a day and then use Systan ultra drops 3 times a day to see if that will help. The eye doc wants me to take antibiotics (Keflex), but i don't really want to deal with that along with the chemo coming up next Monday and that whole week ahead. So, I will see what Dr. Paul says about that:)
Here are some special verses that I have thought about today.
Lamentations 3:21-24 "But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope. The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is His faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, says my soul, therefore I will hope in Him".
Acts 1:7 "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority."
Jeremiah 17:7-8 "Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its' leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."
Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."
