Sheltered

Some friends think we are super believers, somehow immune from worries, fears and what-ifs. Then there are a few who secretly wonder if we're in denial. Neither is quite right. Here's an example: those who warned us about the side effects of chemo explained that the toxins were destroying both cancer cells and healthy cells, causing misery all around. So sometimes I wonder: since I'm not miserable, might that mean the chemo isn't doing its job? And what if we come to the end of the regimen and learn that the cancer is still running wild or has implanted in a new site? So now you know that we have our moments. But they're few and brief. If we do get bad news in May, we know God will give extra gifts of grace at that time to enable us to face facts and make new decisions. And meanwhile, almost 100% of the time, we truly are sheltered --wrapped up--in peace. We fully believe your prayers help shape that shelter for us, and we are thankful.

Love and thanks from both of us,
Carol, for Chuck too
