Just got home from chemo, and feel wiped out. Just want to lie down. Which I will, shortly. I am on ixempra every 3 weeks. Pray it works, and I can be rid of this...but as always, God's Will be done.
I received a very delightful & unexpected phone call last night. One of our foster kids called! Tyler!! We had him off & on for maybe a year? Anyway, it was delightful to hear from him. He did give me sad news, his mom was in a motorcycle accident last summer, and died. We became close & she was a good mom. Her kids adored her. We just lost contact over time... something I am going to work on so it won't happen.It was so good to hear from him!
For my grandma, Hazel, my sil, Betty, and Marlene, a dear friend:
God our Father,
Your power brings us to birth,
Your providence guides our lives,
and by Your command we return to dust.
Lord, those who die still live in Your presence,
their lives change but do not end.
I pray in hope for my family,
relatives and friends,
and for all the dead known to You alone.
In company with Christ,
Who died and now lives,
may they rejoice in Your kingdom,
where all our tears are wiped away.
Unite us together again in one family,
to sing Your praise forever and ever.
Amen.
