Thankfulness

There are many things that I am thankful for...

I am thankful that Rebekah's scans showed no evidence of disease and are stable. Those are always good words to hear. Her endocrine labs look good and we won't be making any changes to the medications right now. She grew 2 cm in the last three months.

I am thankful for my voice. That I am able to sing praise to my God, to read stories to my girls and so many other things...

I am thankful for girls who want to help Mommy and aren't afraid of the equipment that comes to our house (like the wheelchair, scooter, walker, cane, etc...) Rebekah wants me to go to the hospital to get all better. Oh if only it were that simple. I am thankful for girls who want to give to others. We put together two shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child for girls about my girls ages who won't get much in the way of Christmas presents.

I am thankful for a husband who loves me no matter what. One who takes me places and gets the scooter or wheelchair in and out of the van and hauls the bags in and out of the house and does so many of the things that I just can't do anymore.

I am thankful for friends and family. They call to see how we're doing, bring food, offer to come and help with whatever needs done, offer specific things or to help with specific tasks.

I am thankful for the peace that comes in knowing that when my time on earth is done, I will be in heaven with my God and my Saviour and there is no better place. I also know that my God is a God of comfort and He will be with the family I leave behind.

I am thankful for friends around the world who pray for me and my family. Friends who we've met and friends we have never met.

I am thankful for medicines that can help us feel better and fix some of our problems. I am thankful for researchers who are looking for cures for cancer and als. Both girls have coughs, so they are on cough medicines. I am on many medications.

It has been a rough week, so please continue to lift us up in prayers.
