Learning of Jesus Love

Before talking about me...

---Please pray for my brother's wife and her family. She lost both of her parents in one day. Devastating.

---Please continue to pray for my sister-in-law. She has accomplished her first hurdle of completing all of her Adriamyacin-Cytoxin treatments. But, she was sicker than ever and I think it is fair to say, rather discouraged. She has some goals this summer...some fun family activities and a family reunion which we should be at together. Please pray for her strength, for her cancer to be defeated, and for the doctors to be able to help her through the rest of this journey.

My third treatment is over. It went well...the anti-nausea drugs do the trick in my case. I don't remember much about it--I am not sure if it is the drugs or the phrase "Chemo-brain" that I recently read--but a lot of the past week is a blur. I go again on the 20th, which will accomplish my last AC treatment, then I will switch to Taxol.

I am utterly struck these last few days about how I am seeing Jesus in people who are helping me and my family. Transportation to Dallas, care and concern, meals, cards... It is profound and I admit I don't have my mind around it yet. The sweet woman who committed to taking me for my treatments: they are even planning their summer travel around my schedule. Amazing.

I have always been taught that we learn of God's love through the love of people around us. That is our calling...to be Jesus to those around us. I am finding that I am on the learning end of this right now...and to repeat myself, it is profound. The embrace the concept that every act of love is a demonstration of God's love for me...well...it is mind boggling.

I hope I am found trustworthy in passing the lesson on to others.
