My daughter’s reflections

My daughter Beth wrote a wonderful blog about her journey through my cancer.

Here is the link.

ALL CLEAR

I praise you, LORD, for answering my prayers. You are my strong shield, and I trust you completely. You have helped me,  and I will celebrate and thank you in song.  You give strength to your people, LORD, and you save and protect your chosen ones. Come save us and bless us.  Be our shepherd and always carry us in your arms. Psalm28:6-9 CEV.

Yes, this is a GOOD day. And God is GOOD. I have received the all clear from my oncologist. The area that was of concern last week was not an issue this week. All that is left of the tumor is some scar tissue, and I can live with the occassional discomfort of that. My next appointment is in three months!

To all who are battling the nausea, fatigue, and sores of chemotherapy and radiation, I lift you up to the Lord of life.  To the family members who feel helpless as they watch their loved one’s suffering, may God grant you peace. And especially for those who are fighting a losing battle with cancer, may you be surrounded by the abounding love of our gracious God. May you know deeply and intimately the One who gave his life for you.
