provider. This year is starting out much better than last year (of course we are only 5 days in, but I am trying to be optimistic). While we had Pam's surgeries and treatments keeping us busy for the entire year, others suffered great loss.
Our Josh is a boy of few words. But sometimes the few he tosses out there really hit home. With concern in his voice he recently uttered, "We have known a lot of people who have died this year," and Erin quickly agreed. It is sad and true. Family members, friends, friends family m
embers, and even a family pet!?! There are so many suffering and mourning and learning to deal with a much different future than they ever expected right now.So we begin this year thankful for the position we find ourselves in. Thankful for those medical providers Pam is tired of seeing (and paying). Tired of the medicine she has to take and the tests she undergoes. But she perseveres.
As you know, we consider
blessed those who have persevered.
You have heard of Job's perseverance
and have seen what the Lord
finally brought about. The
Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
James 5:11
We have no idea what 2010 will bring, but we have hope. Hope for Pam's cancer to stay away. Hope for healing for our family and friends who have lost their loved ones.
