Rejoice in the Lord; He Is Faithful

Rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the autumn rains because he is faithful. He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before. — Joel 2:23

God sends us showers and showers us with blessings.

He sends autumn and spring rains.

Monday is the fall equinox, when the day and night will be almost equal.

I have just 5 radiation treatments left, and today had both a flu and a tetanus shot. Both in the same arm!

My arm doesn't feel too bad tonight, but I'm sure it will be sore tomorrow.

Friday I begin my boost treatment, where they will concentrate the radiation on just the surgery area.

I will start the day with my Bible study group, and we will pray for our friend who is going through a difficult trial.

But God has covered her with his love and strength. He has supported her with people who are helping her get through this tough time.

Best of all, He has surrounded her with friends and family praying her through this.

As a result, He has given her a deep peace that no matter the outcome, she knows she is covered in God's love and care.

Rejoice in the Lord your God; he is faithful!

Spring Flowers

See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come. — Song of Solomon 2:11-12
 
These are the beautiful flowers that Kirk's colleague Amy sent to us, wishing Kirk a restful Easter break.

They still look beautiful as they add a pop of color to our living room.

And they looked wonderful gracing one of our tables for Easter dinner on Saturday. What a thoughtful gift!

I continue to feel good, no nausea, just a bit tired. I fell asleep when our friend Rudy came over Sunday. But fortunately I stayed awake long enough to admire his amazing photos from his last trip to Japan.

And I was still up to take a call from Abby so we could catch up before the day ended.

The season of singing has come!
