Today, if I didn't know better, I wouldn't have even known I was sick. It was so enjoyable to just be in my home and spend time with my husband and my children. I couldn't help to think that it was God giving me a glimpse of what life will be like again after all of this is over with.
I had a conversation with Jason the other day and I wanted to share part of it with you. We were talking about how so many people were praying for a miracle in that I wouldn't have cancer. I know we prayed for that same miracle but we also prepared ourselves for the reality that I did.
It was then that it hit me that I was witnessing a different kind of miracle. The way our family, friends and community have rallied around us has been amazing. It has been a miracle. The way that people respond to this blog, it has been a miracle. In the last month this blog has received over 3,200 hits from 8 different countries. That is a miracle.
I told Jason that I knew why God didn't give us that miracle - He had a completely different miracle in mind. If He would have given me that miracle, everyone would have rejoiced and then in a month (or less) it would have been forgotten by most. He has far more that He wants to accomplish through this. Out of 3,200 hits if even one of those people was not a believer and just experienced God's love, even for a second....now that is a miracle and I feel so blessed to be apart of it.
Funny's of the Day
1.) Our sink drips. We got a new faucet right before my diagnosis and of course Jason hasn't had time to install it because he is taking care of the fam all of the time. :-) So, it was dripping more steadily than normal and Jason reached over with his big bear paw and cranks it down. It makes one of those breaking sounds - hinting that it is just about to break if it hasn't already. We waited for a second and water didn't spew. I give him the look look - you know the one. The one that says, "you are so lucky." He smiles and of all he things he can say he says, "feel the power behind that." What? I started laughing at him and said, "You just earned your spot onto the Funny of the Day." His response: "Great, that is just where I want to be."
2.) So we have a "tween" in the house which is a whole new experience. It is always different when you are dealing with other people's kids. You can send them home. I tried that once with Cale and he was just waiting there for me when I got there. (That was a joke.) Anyway, we have sensed a new source of laziness with this pre-teenage status. For example, he drank a Gatorade and Jason asked him to rinse out the bottle because he was going to save it for something. Cale does it but then doesn't know where to put the clean bottle. So he walks over to the refrigerator, opens it, and says, "I am just going to stick it back in here." What? I know, I know, it is only going to get worse.
