Reality Check

"What may seem to us as 'accidents' are no such things in the universe governed by the providence of the true and living God. Prayers may be directed to this mighty and reigning King knowing that while he tenderly and compassionately hears the cries of his people, he 'sits' in the unique position of knowing perfectly what is best and possessing unthwarted power to bring to pass what he wills. The world is not spinning out of control; in fact, not one atom or despot or demon acts in any respect to hinder the fulfillment of what God has eternally ordained. To know this God, and better to be known by him, is to enter into the security and confidence of a lifetime of trust in his never-failing arms" (Dr. Bruce Ware).

I have nothing to add to the above. The truth of it quiets all my fears.

It seems strange now to be waiting a month between kemos, after all these weekly infusions. Someone wrote that she hopes that my tiredness and mild nausea indicate that the new drug is working on the cancer. I hope so too.

We're leaving Friday to go to Indiana, because our grandson James and his wife and son (our great-grandson!) are coming to see us there. They weren't able to join us in the Bahamas, so we're jumping at this opportunity to see them, as well as other members of the family who will be there.

I like this quote from G. Glien: "The older I grow, the more I listen to people who don't talk much." I think I'm getting that way. I also hope I'm thinking more and talking less myself.

Have a great day. By the way, I had to hide comments here for awhile, but they're back online, so if you have somethinig to add, please feel free to click on the word "Comments" below and speak your piece.

Love,
