Day Twenty-Seven with Cancer

Day Twenty-Seven with Cancer/Day Six without Cancer:

This morning I was awoken by Cordelia launching herself onto my gut.  Ouch.  Thankfully I heard someone say her name or something right before, so I braced myself a little before it happened.  I think I may have done a little too much yesterday.  I was extremely sleepy today.  I have to admit that my shower took much more effort than I anticipated.

Most of the day was spent watching coverage of the tornados in Joplin.  Grandma had just gotten off of the phone with her cousin? last night when the sirens went off there.  She spent a good amount of the day calling family to make sure everyone was ok and then calling the rest of the family to let everyone know that everyone else was alright.

Jeff, Sarah and the boys came for dinner.  It was nice to have them over.  The boys kept asking why I wasn't eating much.  My favorite Caleb-isms of the night were, "I love your face!"  and "Why are you done?  You should have a long banana."  What a goofy kid.

After dinner Jaden had to do his reading, so I have him The Giving Tree.  I enjoy that book.  He read that and Caleb did my makeup.  I was being entertained by both of them.  Grandpa was in the kitchen working on making peanut butter shakes.  It was fun to watch the boys have their first pb shakes.  They just recently found out that they aren't allergic to peanut butter, so now they're trying everything and they LOVE it.

Pastor had his surgery today.  I hear it went well.  Praise the Lord!  I'm so glad that we serve THE Healer.  It's amazing that He can take these really serious things and make them so much smaller and easier to manage.  Amen!

Song of the Day: Beautiful Redemption
