“I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.” G.K.Chesterton
This quote has been in my head all week as I continue on this journey. I have so much to be thankful for and want to express my gratefulness for each of you who have been walking with me through my chemo treatments. Your gifts, cards, emails, and calls have meant so much and have strengthened me along the way. Each day there are cards with encouraging scriptures and sweet notes that put a big smile on my face as I thank God for putting each of you in my life.
This week Heather and family are here from Idaho. God answered prayers and has given me the strength to visit long hours with them each day. They rented a beautiful home overlooking the ocean and it has such a peaceful time watching all the grandkids (22) together and enjoying each of their unique personalities. Last night we celebrated St.Patrick's Day at the Brownlees with everyone and as I looked out over the yard with the kids and their parents I could not help but thank God again for His faithfulness and blessings. I am rich because of Him.
The Wilsons came this week because of the kids' school break without knowing that it was my last week before chemo starts again. God's perfect timing! Thursday morning I begin the treatment again and I will be out of commission so this time we have had is even more precious. Please continue praying for me to respond to the treatments and to be strengthened during this time.
The Lord bless and keep you all.
