Well I did it. A change of routine can be very good for the soul so I packed my bucket of pills and headed to Portland with my parents to see my little sister. I ended up staying with my wonderful cousin, Kathy, in her beautiful house because my sisters daughter had a bug. (Germs are avoided by chemo patients.) I enjoyed my cousin's delicious food, prayers, love and kindness. My Aunty hosted a delicious family dinner where much laughter and fun was had by all. Stories of the 'good old days' about my lumber-jack great grandfather are always fun to hear.
After a few days of being spoiled, we were able to revive the original plan and stay with my sister and her family. Overall it was an amazing trip. It was refreshing to take the focus off of counting pills and gain some wonderful memories. As I flew home, I looked out the window to the most stunning sunset over the Rocky Mountains and praised the Lord for His protection and the many blessings that have been given to everyone.
God is love. Everything good comes from God. And I am very grateful for all the blessings that God has given me.
"O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving kindness endure forever!"
1 Chronicles 16:34
I came home to lots of hugs and my happy family. All is well!
Today is November 24, 2013 ... one month until Christmas Eve! Praise the Lord! :)
