This spring has gone by quickly for us. We have had many family events as we always do and that has been great.
Dad has finished his last chemo as of last Friday but that has certainly taken it's toll on him. He suffered a bit of a setback with his blood counts and has been in hospital since last Tuesday. This journey our family is on with cancer/chemo is quite the rollercoaster. You think of many things as you travel down this road. I often wonder how families do it without any faith. Last night as our family celebrated Mom & Dad's 56th wedding anniversary in the hospital room, a friend came by just to spend time with Dad & Mom. He has recently lost his wife to cancer and I was deeply touched to see his strong faith, his strength and his genuine love and caring. He has walked this road and his faith is what carries him day to day. I was encouraged in my faith journey and am constantly amazed at the people God brings into my life that do just that: encourage, give hope, share love, share tears, etc. As we experience life wherever we are, may we take time to spend time with those that come across our paths, may we share ourselves just a little bit more but more importantly share of what Jesus means to us and how that affects us every day of our life.
