I know it's hard but it's not safe to stay here. Take my hand and let's start moving - we have to go now." "For God did not give us the spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power and of love and of self discipline." 2Timothy 1:7. Where is that woman I sat with in the hospital who was going to find the blessing in each day? Do not let Satan steal your joy. Our reasons for joy are manifold. We have joy that medical advances (as cruddy as they are to endure) will destroy the cancer and restore Meaghan to us. But even if that weren't the case we hold onto the real reason for our joy - "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation (including cancer) will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38-39. With your eyes fixed on the Source of our joy, you will find the joy in this Advent (your family's and our Christmas prelude). And if in looking around you are not seeing it, then girlfriend, make some. Maddie and Ethan and Meaghan are counting on you and our Heavenly Father will enable you to do this. "We have to go now. We have to keep moving." I love you my friend.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15838866557261218722noreply@blogger.com
