Privilege of Stillness

I know there are women whose families are so demanding that no matter how fatigued they feel, they must be up and caring for them. Others are on their own and must continue going to their jobs even when chemo gets them down. That's why I say stillness is a privilege--one that I took full advantage of yesterday. It's true. I spent the entire day either in bed or the recliner, except for a half hour at noon to prepare and drink a protein smoothie. I slept through the night again as well. I'm thankful. I do feel stronger today.

Stillness brings its reward. Rest, yes. Reflection also--reflection that can't occur when the body and mind are rushing to the next task. Then come the special moments when Christ Himself draws near into the stillness.

Thank you again and again for all your prayers.

Love,
Carol
