Well, it is a new day in a new week in a new month. Maybe things will get back to normal. Wait a minute. I just had a question pop into my head. What is "normal?"
Does normal mean explainable? That's not us. Or does normal mean predictable? That's not us either. How about boring? Does normal mean boring? There is nothing boring about a cancer journey.
I think that normal, for me at least, has much less to do with "what" or "when". Normal for me has much more to do with "who." It is looking into the faces and listening to the hearts of those who love me. When that happens, I realize that all of that love comes from Christ. He has more than enough love to give. When Christ allows others to channel His love to me, that's normal.
Anyway, with all of the scans in Houston completed, we will be in conversation with our doctor there via phone or some other e-conversation by late Wednesday or Thursday. I will let you know what he says.
Meanwhile, thanks for making me feel normal.
Dear Jerry,
ReplyDeleteNormal??? We think of you as the perfect child of god. Each time we read your blog we see your growth and spiritual strength illuming the way for many.
Our Master said, "After this manner therefore pray ye," and then he gave the prayer that covers all human needs...Here let us give what we understand to be the spiritual sense of the Lord's prayer:
"Our Father which art in heaven,"
Our Father-Mother God, all harmonious,
"Hallowed be Thy name."
Adorable One.
"Thy kingdom come."
Thy kingdom is come; Thou art ever-present.
"Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."
Enable us to know,--as in heaven, so on
earth--God is omnipotent, supreme.
"Give us this day our daily bread;"
Give us grace for today; feed the famished
affections;
"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors."
And Love is reflected in love;
"And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;"
And God leadeth us not into temptation, but
delivereth us from sin, disease, and death.
"For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever."
For God is infinite, all-power, all Life,
Truth, Love over all, and All.
From Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p.497:3-27
We, Martel and I, pray the above for you daily.
1 John 3:1-3
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called he sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now we are the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be; but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure."
We (Martel & I) pray that no matter what you decide to do, that you know YOU will be alright.
