At 6:10 am Rick and I will leave for the hospital. I am scheduled for surgery at 10:50 am. I am writing this before I go to bed after a completely fabulous day filled with the very most thoughtful and generous people you could ever wish to know. I'll share more about the benefit when I am uh, more fit :) Will try to post an update soon. I have been richly blessed with all of you. Your prayers and support continue to nourish and sustain me.

ReplyDeleteI read this in a blog essay today and thought of your gratitude throughout the hard time:
ReplyDelete“We must praise God in all circumstances,” wrote Paul to the Thessalonians. It’s totally crappy advice if you take it to mean that people who are suffering should praise God for terrible things that happen. But of course that isn’t what Paul is suggesting. It’s not about thanking God FOR the circumstances, it’s about being grateful within the circumstances that God is God.
The circumstances lately seem crappy. But if I don’t praise God in these circumstances, I close myself off to the greater reality that is running this show. I’m grateful today that the veil of illusion lifted and I was able to see glimpses of the greater reality in the face of a peaceful widower, the stomping of a tired fairy princess, and the embrace of suburban lovers in a mall parking lot."
Good luck.
ReplyDeleteIt should all go well.
