Hello!
Just some "orders of business"...appt. for lung biopsy is next Wednesday, the 21st in Madison. We also have an appt. with Mayo's on April 29th. We don't know for sure if we will keep the Mayo appt. or not, as it will depend, I think, on the results of the biopsy - BUT at least we have an appointment, should we want to go ahead with it.
I knew this day would come somewhere along the way...the day when all is not cheery and well, when I don't feel too terribly good and then, what do I write? Well, I guess I write that I'm not all that cheery today - and in a little "discomfort", too. I've taken just a little of the pain medication and hope it helps. "They" tell me it will!
So many scriptures come to mind...like, the 121st Psalm..."I lift up my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip - He who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD watches over you - the LORD is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all harm - He will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore." Amen.
It's a beautiful day outside, warm & sunny...heats the bones up, for sure. Don was busy today running errands of all kinds. He came home, left again, came home, then left again. Finally, he was home to stay and I asked how he liked being a "wife" running all these errands. We laughed!
Enjoy your day...and may God bless you, each one!
Love,
Don & Deb
You are wonderful! Amazing! I am sorry today was not such a good day...but I know with every tuff day there is a spot of " ahhh" in it somewhere, maybe a nap or just quite or maybe a cup of tea (coffee if you prefer). Rest and we will hold you up, our Father sees and is near.You are in our thoughts and prayers constantly.km
ReplyDeleteThank you for being so honest and sharing the good and the bad...Indeed through it all GOD is faithful....aware of each hair on your head and each ache in your body. Praying for you!
ReplyDeleteDon & Deb...We're so sorry that this was not a good day. If you can tolerate it take your medicine. That's what it's there for. :) Love your scripture for the day. A good reminder for us all. We would be happy to do any of the errand running for you. Please let us know what we can do. We are here for you. Constantly lifting you up in prayer before the Great Physician.
ReplyDeleteLove you much,
Doug and Donna
Dear friends,Somehow it seems that "we" are the ones who are gaining strength and courage from your daily words of faith and wisdom. Why is this so? As a tear flows down my cheek, I think of your beautiful spirit Deb and how even on the tough days you are thinking of others. If love and prayers can ease your mind & body of sadness or pain, today will be a better day for we are lifting you up before our heavenly Father. May God bless and comfort you today. We love you. Pat & Larry
ReplyDeleteHey Mom and Dad,
ReplyDeleteIt was great to visit with you today. Great to see you smiling and laughing. We pray that pain and discomfort will be able to be managed. It is tough to see the "discomfort", but we will be by your side and lifting you up in prayer no matter how difficult this gets.
I was reading Mia her night time book, "Thankful Together", it talks about being thankful for wonderful mornings, clothes we wear, food, games, the world God made, laughter and fun, and our wonderful day. And the last scripture was "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; His love endures forever." Even though we are on this journey, we have so much to be thankful for and at the top of that list is HIS love. We had a wonderful day. We hope you are able to get some rest. We love you and we are praying for you.
Love, Kurt and Jenn
Somehow, I just knew, Debbie, that you would still be encouraging all of us. I hope that you will be encouraged, too, by seeing all the people that love you and are praying for you.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Regina
Sorry that your Thursday was not too great! The med will work so take them when you need to!!
ReplyDeleteI was reading in 1 Peter on Tuesday, headed for Madison...Chapter 5 verse 7 leaped off the page at me and I immediately thought of you! "Cast all your anxiety on Him, for He cares for you!" We must all lean on Him and each other to survive through these difficult times.
Lifting you up to Jesus...daily!
C U tomorrow!
Luv ya,
Linda M
Sorry to hear that you are in the hospital. Lifting you up daily. Love you.
ReplyDeleteDearest Deb,
ReplyDeleteIt was a rough day today, I know.
If I could only bear the pain for you.
Had several calls all wishing and praying
for better days for you. Cindy said her whole
class is praying. How kind of her.
Love, M & D
