time out, time in

Nancy and I were blessed by a week away at the Jersey shore. The house worked perfectly. The weather was great. We enjoyed visits from Josh, Anne, Lucia and KJ, brief times outside, meals on the deck and quiet evenings watching the Phillies or DVD's of the recent HBO miniseries on John and Abigail Adams.

Nancy showed a lot of courage in making this trip and it was so gratifiying to see that the change of scenery nourished her soul and spirit. As we give thanks for the time away we prepare for tomorrow's chemo session. Ask HIM to give us strength and healing. And to keep us thankful for the gifts he gave us during the weeklong timeout.

I have been praying for all of you this week and am glad you had some refreshing time away. My prayers are with you daily, especially as Nancy undergoes chemo again; praying for minimal side effects and good results, for peace and strength in the days ahead, and that you will feel God's comfort.
With love - Cindy
