We're back to full force now at home. Both Meg and Sara are back home and glad to be there. Meg said she was glad to be home and clean. She's not too big on public showers.
Have you ever met or known someone with a terminal illness, and you notice that they have a better outlook on life than most other people you know? I know of a lady through a work associate who is basically dying with cancer. She's going through all these experimental treatments and it's wearing her out. But rather than sitting around feeling sorry for herself, she's thinking of others. She's helping train a labrador retriever to work with the elderly. And through it all, she's giving God the glory. Simply amazing. Maybe God gives his children who are in desperate situations an extra measure of grace and understanding during this time. Maybe this is what Paul is talking about in II Corinthians 4: 7-12, "But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you." She's living out that verse and saying, "it's not about me, it's about You; because I'm nothing without You." Again, simply amazing.
Looking forward to a great weekend at home. It's been a busy, hectic week. Not that I'm complaining......
