CT Result

I just talked with Gail, Dr. Malviya's nurse, who gave me the result of my March 11 CT scan:

"No evidence of recurrence or metastatic disease."

Hallelujah!!!
I am so thankful for this health!

I am reminded of a song:
"There may be times when I have everything life offers,
There may be times there's nothing I can claim;
In poverty or in abundance I will praise Him
With my last breath, I will praise His name."

(Part of "Yet I Will Praise Him" by G.Gaither/J.Gaither, B.Smiley)

I think of that attitude, because I want to trust God consistently, whatever my situation.
And yet, and yet...
I am so thankful for this particular situation today!


More Joy - Outdoors
The day of my CT scan, March 11, was also the day I saw my first robin of the year.
I was walking around outside the hospital after drinking my CT contrast,waiting, and there, on the iron fence post, sat the robin! Beautiful!

More Joy - In Study
Resurrection
In our Disciple study last week, as we studied I Corinthians, I read the assurance of the disciple's experience:
"... Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, ...
he was buried, ...
he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and...
he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred.... Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles and last of all to me...."
(I Cor. 15:3-8 excerpts)

That reminded me of a song as well:
"I've Just Seen Jesus"
(Also by G.Gaither/W .Gaither, D. Daniels)
I love the beauty of both the message and the music!

"I've just seen Jesus, and I will never be the same!"
