Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31

amazing...

i was reading a book last night and i found a quote that said: faithful friends are a sturdy shelter; whoever finds one has found a treasure.

tim and i are so thankful for all the cards and words of encouragement and all the prayers that have flooded the heavens since this cancer has struck...we are sometimes humbly brought to tears with acts of kindness that we have received from friends.

yesterday was one of those days...we try hard not to "complain" too much about stuff that is going on behind the scenes-like megs car being in the garage and the co-pays and deductions that have started over again with the new year and the medications hitting some sort of record costs...but we find it totally mind-boggling that God always finds a way to send someone our way to bless our family at the perfect time. yesterday was one of those days...our heart-felt thanks go out to the guys and gals of the hershey medical center lab who graciously gathered "stuff" (we love stuff) for us. the card contained gift cards for gas and groceries and food from the HMC cafe and starbucks...it was amazing!!!! it is still bring tears to my eyes when i think about it...maybe because none of my co-workers know tim or the girls...none of my co-workers have ever been to my house...i only work there part-time...it was amazing!!!!

we have to rank pretty high up on the list of families that are blessed. our neighbors, the kids friends, the kids friends parents, tims co-workers, tams co-workers, our church family...this list could go on and on and on...kinda like that lamb chop song (boy i am OLD)

enough blubbering for one morning...i have to head out to work. thanks to HMC for making us a part of your lives.

thanks for checking in...

Great news Tammy. Things like this make us all aware of how much a kind note, card, gift card means at times like this. Praying for good news today as far as blood work goes.

Every time I open this blog, I am reminded of the song I used to sing to my son, Jake, when he was a baby. It's a song using the verse from Isaiah 40:31 - He that waits upon the Lord will renew his strength; he shall mount up with wings like eagles. He shall run and not be weary, he shall walk and not faint. Teach me, Lord, teach me, Lord, to wait. Tim - you are so blessed with friends and family. You will certainly be blessed for your patient waiting on the Lord for His will to be done. Have a blessed day.
