2 Chronicles 20 :21b

"Praise the Lord, for His mercy endures forever." 2 Chronicles 20:21b

Do you ever have days like that when you just don't have words, but your heart is bubbling over in gratitude? I have. I am.

To say that the last year has been hard is an understatement. Watching someone you love so much, go through such pain is agonizing.

Watching them come through it and see such strength and dignity is inspiring.
Knowing that it is because of God's unending love for Mom is just too much to try to articulate.

His mercy does not always mean "rescue" in the sense we want it to. Sometimes it takes on other forms such as friends, medicine, love, sacrafice, a card, a call, an encouraging talk, a benefit, cleaning a house, bringing dinner, lunch, taking some one to the Dr., administering medication, sitting with someone while they sleep, posting a message on the blog, taking their spouse to coffee to talk,crying with them, holding them, praying for them and so much more in the midst of the trial ahead of them.

So many of you have been the merciful hands and feet of Christ right here in Chehalis WA.

We thank you and on this dreary day I want to add some sunshine and a ray of hope and a burst of praise to the one that made Mom.

Mom spoke with the radiologist and was told that no sarcoma cancer cells were found in the biopsied tumor removed from Mom's leg. No cancer cells. None.

While she still has to have the drain tube removed on Friday, and she meets the Orthopeidic surgeon on Tuesday, we feel encouraged that it just might be the end of chemotherapy and other treatment.

So today, after a few days of tears of joy and gratitude:
"Praise the Lord, for His mercy endures forever."

With a grateful heart to all of you who love Mom and Dad,
Kimberly and family
