Friday, July 12

Happy Friday Blog friends,

As you probably know, I have three of the most fantastic granddaughters in the world. Today, July 12th, is my middle granddaughter Kelli's birthday. Being the middle child, she often gets overlooked. That makes perfect sense when you think about the cuteness of her 5 year old cousin, Sally Ann, and the wit and charisma of her older sister Maia.

But the truth is, Kelli is not overlooked. She is indeed a special child in her own right, especially to her "Pa." I'm thinking that is the way that God must feel - millions of times stronger- that no child of His is overlooked. Each one of us is special to Him.

As for my cancer journey; I left the hospital with increased pain meds. The result of which means that I get a little "loopy." (Diane's word for me when I am not thinking clearly) As I mentioned in my last post, before we left the hospital we had some more scans done, since we were going to do them in a few weeks anyway. Again, the scans are very inconclusive. They really don't show anything new. On the one hand of course, we are thankful for that. On the other hand, we continue to struggle with digestive and pain issues. Our plan at this point in time is to get back to cutting the medications. The journey continues.

One thing Iknow for sure. I have not been overlooked by God. No matter how many children that He has, I will always be special to Him. And guess what? So will you. Just like Kelli, I am loved. And guess what? So are you!
