Today Cliff has his third chemo treatment. He continues to experience no negative side effects. We are praising God and thanking Him for being our Provider!
Ellie, our 16 year old, mentioned she was hesitant to tell others how well her father is doing because she doesn't want them to forget to pray for him. Her comments were a good reminder. Yes, Cliff still has cancer. And, yes, we still have all the struggles that go along with a serious illness. This has been a tough road, and very painful at times, but also a great time for growth.
"Sorrow causes deep scars, and indelibly writes its story on the suffering heart. We never completely recover from our greatest griefs and are never exactly the same after having passed through them. Yet sorrow that is endured in the right spirit impacts our growth favorably and brings us a greater sense of compassion for others."
Each one of you has blessed us in so many different ways. Cliff and I (and all our children) have witnessed the beauty of your compassion, prayers and incredible tangible expressions of your love. I cannot communicate in words how deeply you have touched our lives.
Also, please keep praying for my friend, Carolyn. She continues to struggle with the terrible side effects of her chemo. Her attitude is amazing and she brightens up every room she enters. Even in the infusion center, she has a sweet smile and a kind word for all the other patients.
Thank you for your continued prayers.
Love,
Beth
