Wow, what a great day. We had the most perfect weather today here in Memphis. We got up and went to church. We had the nursery but Todd went on into the service. I didn't know till after it was over my mom was there! I couldn't believe that she made it but she did. She looked beautiful! I know she probably went home and took a good long nap but she was glad to be at services. She came in the nursery and held her girl for a few minutes before we went home.
God promised us that we would face troubles in this world but assured us he would be here for us to find peace in time of storm. Well, we have looked fear and troubles and the big C word in the face for 4 weeks now and have found peace only in God's love for us. I can't tell you how amazed I am at the strength of my mom and the desire she has to beat this cancer. She is planning on going into work again in the morning and working till about lunch. I told her when she gets home I will come over with Haidyn and put her down for a nap with GiGi and I will bring my steam cleaner to get all the floors cleaned in her house for her. We are on the countdown now till everyone gets here for Thanksgiving.
John 16:33- "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble but take heart! I have overcome the world."
Amen!!

It really was a blessed day!
ReplyDeleteI worked with Ken at Harding for a number of years and I want you to know how much I appreciate your updates. I think you are illustrating in real time what real faith is all about. You are helping a lot of people better understand the power of faith and how God can work in everything we face.

Emily, had it not been for the big C word, we would not have known what a wonderful teacher you are. I learn from your blog every day. I am so thankful that your mom has found peace. Joan, remember the words to the song we sang as children, "I've got the peace that passes understanding down in my heart..." We had no idea what that meant, but now we do. I am so glad that God allows his words to be written in our hearts, so we can 'readily recollect' them at a moment's notice. How great is our God! Love, Barbara Peck
