I brought Nancy home tonight after her first round of the new chemo. She laid down on the bed and announced, "It's good to be home." A few minutes later she ate a bit of chicken pot pie, laid back and fell asleep.
Meanwhile the room filled with music. Josh and KJ sat with us and we chatted away about Nancy's upcoming birthday, movies and KJ's recent trip to Romania. Yes, music. You see for a parent to enjoy joyful conversation with your kids is to be swept up by a love song. We hear that love for God, us and one another, and my soul---and Nancy's is warmed.
This music again reminds us of the rich life we have enjoyed together. The burdens of the week are rolled back for now. The deeper this journey goes, the more often I am reminded that we have much to celebrate.
Meanwhile, pray for better tolerance for this new drug, combined with effective results against the Unwelcome Visitor, and frequent decisions to give ourselves to thankfulness, the eyes of faith to see glory unobstructed by the pain.
