So Much to Live For...So Much to be Thankful For
And so it is, that despite all we are going through at this moment, 6pm on Saturday August 2nd 2008, we have so very much to live for, and so very much to be thankful for.
I've decided to make this my thankful/dream post...
I am thankful for a God that loves at all times.
...a strong, supportive family, and in law family.
...amazing, understanding friends.
...a handsome, loving, outstandingly strong husband.
...Faith in things that I cannot see or know.
...Great doctors, nurses and aides who give great care.
...the ability for people to open their hearts to complete strangers.
...the innocense and love of children.
...smiles through the pain.
...People who give without expecting anything.
..technology that allows me to connect to the world.
...medical knowledge that surpasses my understanding.
...Miracles that are always in progress.
...Beautiful sunrises and spectacular sunsets
...God's creatures.
...the ability to love.
Kevin and I look ahead to a time when we are out of hospitals, done with tests, and in recovery....
And we dream of....
Having children
Being at the beach as much as possible
Travelling this country and the world
Loving each other enternally
Being completely content in our careers
Being able to help others in the ways others have helped us
Changing the world around us
Touching others hearts
Opening a little cafe at the beach and living a relaxing wonderful life
Growing our family and bonding with the ones we love
Living and blessing others with our faith...
It is with this we ask for continued prayer that this cancer is lymphoma, that they will be able to hold off on the surgery to drain the fluid around the heart, that no other issues or complications arise, that Kevin can rest, that I will feel comfortable going back to work, that Kevin's family may be able to come visit soon, that the BBQ will be successful and our financial situations alleviated and that God will bless everyone who has already blessed us so wonderfully.
