Faithful

I told you about the beautiful hand-crafted cards my friend sends. Here's the one based on the hymn, "Great Is Thy Faithfulness," for which she tatted tiny circles for the notes. She said she's been wanting to do this ever since January, when I told about Lisa's singing all the stanzas of that hymn late at night in the hospital. Oh, I was so sick! The song encouraged me then, and it still does.

So I've been thinking about faithfulness and faith. This morning I read in Galatians 5:6, "What is important is faith expressing itself in love." Beautiful and simple, isn't it?

Jokes are still coming in. Several of them are in honor of the blonde wigs I'm wearing these days. A beautiful redhead told the doctor something was terribly wrong. Every part of her body hurt. "That's unlikely," he said. "Show me." So she pressed on her chest and screamed. She pressed on her cheek and screamed. She pressed on her knee and screamed. The doctor said, "You're not really a redhead, are you?" "No, I'm really blonde. Why?" "Well, your finger is broken."

You know, some of the smartest people I know are blondes. I was one myself as a toddler. But anyway I appreciate the chuckle.

I think I'll get to the office for awhile today. The kemo has been tough this time. We keep praying that it's as mean to the cancer as it is to me. We hope tomorrow's blood test will show that the tumor marker is down. We won't get the answer until next week, and will certainly pass it along as soon as possible.

Have a blessed day.
