Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies - Psalm 36:5
Thursdays after chemo (which now takes place on Tuesdays) are always Mom's worst days. We prepared as usual for that day by Melissa going grocery shopping for her to have good, healthy food for her to eat and packing her an overnight bag. Mom then came over Wednesday evening to settle in and sleep in the Guest Bedroom. This morning I woke up to check on her and she said it was the best night's sleep she's had in over a month - awesome! We waited all morning for her to have a fever but ... it never came! In fact she didn't feel quite as weak as usual! Thank you, Lord, for giving her rest and peace!
Mom has been borrowing a book that my Bible Study went through recently, Knowing God by Name, written by Mary Kassian. It is the perfect book for understanding the depth of God's multifaceted character. And a great way for her to know and understand Him better before she gets to meet Him! She has been loving it. "In Knowing God by Name: A Personal Encounter, author Mary Kassian focuses on 35 Hebrew names of God that describe His character, His relationships, and His purpose. As you learn the significance of each ancient word, you'll be awestruck by the Lord's magnificence and your heart compelled to worship and praise Him." I highly recommend this book if you want to get a clearer picture of who He is.
Oh, my friend. I am thankful for this update. The book, "A Bend in the Road" by David Jeremiah was the book that my mom practically memorized when she went through her C-journey.
