On my heart
There’s a lot on my mind and heart this Christmas. It if my first Christmas without Andrew, but surprisingly we are doing okay. I feel loved and am keeping very busy. Unfortunately, lives around me are what is keeping me distracted for ever feeling sad for myself. A friend from Bible study at church has been battling brain cancer for 3 years now. She is only 30 and has five children. Her husband is a marine. My heart hurts for them this Christmas as she was told this is will most likely be her last. Only the eldest child (13) knows as they want to wait until after the holidays to tell the rest of the kids, but we all are concerned that she may not even make it until Christmas. Hospice is helping, but this is just a very hard time for them. I still pray for a miracle until she breaths her last and I pray God comforts the Alfaro family. This is hardest on the ones left behind as Barbara says she will be cancer-free in heaven -just hates to leave her husband and kids behind. I can’t even imagine all that’s going on in their lives right now, so I just pray. Today is also the day that Blake, a friend passed away 2 years ago, so the family is on my heart as well.
I know a lot is happening in our family right now too so I am grateful that our God can listen to and care about it all.
I also know this is not a great topic to be starting back to blogging but it was was was on my mind and heart so I’d thought I share before I do the other long-overdue blogs. Barbara is the one on the far right. Those are her 5 kids. Her husband had a test that day so that is why he isn’t pictured here.
