Another lesson learned

I don't particularly enjoy being challenged intellectually at 6:30 a.m., before the caffeine has done its work and the brain cells start firing in earnest, but this morning I'm being challenged by a Bible verse that is resonating and just begging to be applied in life:
"Out of the spoils won in battle did they dedicate to maintain the house of The Lord."-
1 Chronicles 26:27.
At first glance a personal application doesn't jump off the page but further study reveals that for me the battle referred to in this verse is cancer and the spoils dedicated to the maintenance of the house of The Lord are the many lessons being learned and the myriad opportunities I have been given to praise God for Who He is and for what He has done throughout our battle here on the home front.
Thank you, Streams in the Desert, for reminding me that this personal battle is not just for my benefit but for others' as well.
Need encouragement? Please allow me to return the tons of encouragement that I have received, even if it's only through this blog.

On the health front:
Continuing fatigue and scaly, itchy skin, but nothing that can't be managed.
