We just heard the word 'REMISSION' for the first time this past week. We are all so grateful. His 13 spots are presently inactive. His next tests are not until January.What a wonderful break. Even as I write this I'm afraid that it's only temporary but I'm also Thanking God for the Reprieve.
After Lynn died in July, for the first time in this whole nightmare I lost hope. I felt like a fool for hanging on to the belief that Al would beat this cancer. Lynn and Al's cancer walk was pretty much together.Losing Lynn was also looking at reality. As I sat In my rocker totally overwhelmed and defeated I asked Gary if he would pray with me. His response was-"what's the point?', exactly my own feelings but, 'It's all I know to do" was my reply. As we prayed( and it was an honest, broken-hearted, broken- spirit prayer) a line from a song came to my mind-" Don't Give Up On The Brink Of A Miracle". I got up with my hope restored and a sense of peace about it again. Often when I fear I quote that Line again. Thank God for a personal walk that is alive.
As I read your good news of the remission, I was so glad for you. Even though I don't know you
ReplyDeleteand your family, I have watched for news and hoped for something good for you. God truly does
answer prayers and your blog tonight was an encouragement to me. Your saying, "It's all I know
to do" really touched me. I have been there too when all that can be done is to cry out to God.
Thank goodness He is always there! God bless you and your family.
