Throughout this still somewhat unpredictable adventure I've often been reminded of how the aging process has seemed to accelerate since my diagnosis last October. Depending on my mood of the moment, this can be discouraging or it won't bother me at all. Today it is not discouraging, so off we go!
Mr. Roper reminds me that even as my body loses its ability to do the things it once could do, I can still love and I can still pray. And there is so much to love and so many people and situations about which to pray that I never need fear running out of opportunities.
"Love and prayer are mighty works indeed, the mightiest works for any of us. Why? Because our God, Who wants to use us, is an all-loving and all-powerful God."-David H. Roper (Our Daily Bread).
And I especially like this quote:
"In a popular children's book, Winnie the Pooh watches Kanga bound away. 'I wish I could jump like that', he thinks. 'Some can and some can't. That's how it is'."-Contributed by David H. Roper.
Life and all it entails has become even more precious since having cancer. It is my privilege to love and to pray while I walk this earth.
"They will still bear fruit in old age; they will stay fresh and green."-Psalm 92:14 (NIV)
On the health front:
As of 8:20 AM all is well😊
