Life is terrifyingly beautiful. Cups runneth over with elation and sadness. We are alive for now, and we will savor every sensation that comes our way and sob our hearts out with the beauty of all of it.
Oh! So eloquently expressed ~ this profoundly truthful statement, @MsLomo! Sums up the mortal experience perfectly. I needed to read that today. Thank you! 💜
Through faith, I have come to view this life as preparation (it's all relevant: the good, the bad and the ugly) for our authentic purposes here ~ and the next eternal life. Those with battle scars can better help those going through the battles.
As @SelahG was saying... Bad things happen to good people, and I'll add: the worst things happened to the best Person. Through His own free will to surrender to love for all of us. Amazing Grace!
Dear, Snappy ~ how I would love to offer you some real comfort for all that you're currently forced to endure. Knowing your devoted love of the Bible and your obedience to always turn there first... in such times, I find meditating on benedictions to be a soothing balm which deepens the spirit, provides succor for the ailing heart, and strengthens the faltering soul. Benedictions can be a remarkable source of healing, too, because the words themselves are life!
We continue to pray, in full faith for dear Shirley, according to God's will for her very best. Since not all of the cancer lesions are gone ~ yet! ~ I do wonder if targeted therapy could help, if they persist beyond her final chemo treatment. With this therapy, drugs attach to proteins, receptors or gene mutations found only on specific types of cancer cells. Targeted therapy drugs may be used alone or in combination with chemotherapy or other treatments, to help anti-cancer drugs better identify and attack cancer cells. I have a friend whose father was finally helped this way. Has remained cancer-free for several years since. I just thought... if Shirley’s oncologist hasn’t already mentioned it, she may want to research it.
The answers and endurance will come to your DD2, because she's not looking in faith at the problems trying to stare her down ~ the distractions ~ but to the One Above who is greatest of All. The way is being prepared for her. Keep trusting in Him who will never forsake us. I know you will! I have witnessed your sweetest fruits these last seven years through some very bitter times for you, and those you have comforted through grace. They didn’t just drop from your lovely apricot tree! 😉 You are never alone, and if you have ever over-shared, by someone's estimation... it was out of love, as you are called to serve. Keep shining!
Love You Always,
~Joy 💜
@agnesann ~ I can’t take credit (steal glory) that comes from Above, rather I was partially “instrumental” (right, @LurkyLoo?) or not. Becky and Josh would have met and recognized mutual love and respect, one way or another! Could have just as easily been by way of Selah, Rowan, Joseph... or YOU, dear heart. ❤️ God's mysterious ways. I'll be nearer to His hope for me, when I stop trying to figure Him out.
Now whatever gave you the impression that it was moi who signed you up for the dunking booth? 🤡 When put on the spot (so rude!) I first called our youngest son, who would be all too glad to oblige! Sadly he'll be out of state with NASCAR. I knew you’d guess, and it was funny to picture her expression when you came back with your direct “no.”
Speaking of which... she who will not be named, just left. Here again, at my office to “consult.” In other words, to nail me down on her proposals. Why does she bother?? 🤔 Everything, and I do mean e v e r y t h i n g is some kind of twisted competition for her. If they’re ever going to erect a statue at the school in her honor; she's already posing for it. I just did a lot of nodding while biting my tongue. 🤐
In your giddiness you for forgot to include picturing @Q-Anu with a beanbag chair strapped to her butt! 🤣
The Salt Spa sounds like heaven for my sinuses, if nothing else! There's a space center, too? My oldest son will be thrilled to hear that! If he doesn’t know already, we'll need the ticket info, @Rowan72! And please don’t cut your hair off! Not too short. In your case, that would be a travesty.
You know who is so good at the elegant braided hairstyling ~ including with buns? My daughter! Here's one example:
She can do them up or down. I wonder if there will be time? She's arriving the day before, like your group, so it should work out. I'll call her tonight and ask!
@Q-Anu ~ so happy to know the shower melts are helping Nathan! I have never been to AUS, but the Blue Mtns are where a lot of eucalyptus comes from. What an observant young man! Smell memories... some of the very keenest.
Wouldn't we all like to have a Rosie, the Robot?
😅 “Chief Aggie” ~ my DH already calls our Agnes “Scully” (from the X-Files). Keeps asking her when she's going over to Quantico. I don’t know if it's his persistence or my own imagination... but more and more she comes to favor Det. Scully when she was young!
I'm looking forward to the train ride, too. What gorgeous scenery awaits, and the time to just relax. So glad your parents will be there. If mine were still with us, this side of Eternity... they would both love that, too. ❤️❤️
Seriously jonesing for those Naots!
Thank you, dear @Hilo for the news from Jubilant. I don’t make it over to CC too often. Found her thread and assured her of my prayers. 🙏
@gloriajean ~ I'm praising God and rejoicing with you over Lori's new position! 🤗
@DeLaney ~ thank you for the news and the delicious recipe! The simplest dishes are usually still the best! Our dear @LurkyLoo is blessed in abundance with genuine humility. A prerequisite for the faithful! (Luke 14:11) But, yes... sometimes that means she frets unnecessarily. Gwen's fiancé is very impressed with her, and the whole family! In time, they'll all relax in one another's company. Praying just as you've requested. ❤️
Love-Love your and your niece's dresses! Can’t wait to see you all and to get Tyler in my arms! (Yes, I'll only share him with Rowan, who has been waiting so long to become a grandmother!) Woot! Maybe soon now that the wedding date is set!!
This is especially for Selah:
😂 Fair warning for when those young hens “evolve!”
See you all later.
~Joy 😍
DeLaney, I might like to bloviate here today, but am in a bit too much discomfort.
My girls just mean that I tell personal things to doctors, like about the babies when it's not why I'm there and unnecessary. They are right...but see, I really think people like what I have to say!!!!! LOL.
As I understand things, this tumor in my sister's brain, on the left side, BTW, is brand new. She had an MRI of the brain in recent years and there was nothing there....no pun intended.
What they meant was that when they analyzed her partcular cancer, they found it to be a type that typically grows in the brain, so they didn't know what it was doing in the colon, but there it is.
She wouldn't keep that from me. I've been speaking with her on the phone and not noticed any slurring, but her DD is with her all the time, mostly and did hear it.
She likes the radiation oncologist who already has a plan for 10 treatments in May. Tomorrow begins her last scheduled chemo round.
I know there will be a PET scan next month.
I am still having burning and now the urgency all of a sudden. I could call the doc even though I doubt she has the test results as yet. Don't know what she would tell me to do, but I may.
Seems that this really never, ever goes away, and where to go for diagnosis and treatment? Yesterday it had to be the ER where we spent hours, but they were quite nice to us.
DD has to work another year no matter what happens to me. Otherwise, she will lose her house, her home, her nest and I would never want that for her.
I'm sorry we missed the party yesterday, but Star's mommy duo called to let us know at the ER that there's a new baby on the way. It will be a planned C section just before Thanksgiving. I have precious pictures of that beautiful child. In some, she is holding an ultra sound of her sibling. I think they made an announcement to some people in that way, but my grandson had told me they were trying for another baby and he so wants a son.
I'm so uncomfortable, that I need to sign off. Wanted to share my good news and see how everyone is.
Your babies are darling for sure.
snappy 
Oh, Snappy ~ another baby to love on soon!!
(And, yeah... WHO wouldn’t want to hear all about them? We sure do! )
I am overjoyed at your good news! I know those photos of Star are just... everything! ❤️ Thanksgiving is a perfect time for him or her to arrive, too. Congratulations to the whole family!
How dare that UTI resurface, and on the day of the family party, too? 😡 I'm sorry that you and DD2 had to miss it, and most of all... that you're feeling so poorly. Praying for answers there, too.
I sure hope you two won't have to move following all those renovations to the house you're both so comfortable in. Were it me; I'd try hiring a little help first, but maybe your DD has something else better in mind. It would be prudent and may help her stress levels to have a Plan B. Working it all out, just in case, beats spinning the wheels of worry.
Rest, take care and feel better soon!
~Joy 🌸
SNAPPY!! I am very excited, and I had a feeling. Not to be all braggy and obnoxious and "know-it-all," but here is what I said in a post to you February 17, 2019, 8:30 PM (I looked through the older posts to be sure I didn't dream it):
" ... You'll have to let us know how those beautiful great-grands are doing after the next visit. I think it's time for a boy GG. I have a feeling one is coming soon. Do you think Star's parents are up for it? ..."
OH, SUCH JOYFUL NEWS!!
More soon .... 
Love to all!!
Rowan, I was speaking with your mother, Winona earlier and she told me her wrist is healing- despite the sewing, etc., Selah. 😉 She seems concerned that both of you girls are carrying too much workload. Never says much about herself, but did voice on D, her displeasure with the Casino.. From what I gather, very little funding goes to help those on the reservation. No excuse for not even helping one's own. I don't blame her. I wouldn’t go there, even if I could travel and enjoy this year’s get-together. She shared her sewing projects that a few others are helping with for the poor children. May God bless their every effort.
I hope your aunt will decide to stay on there, or agree to the guest cottage idea. Winona really does honestly want them to. Said it's been very good for her and Elk to have them there to talk to, etc. She told me about their health issues. They really should not be out there somewhere alone now. 🙏🏻
I took my quilting squares to Tom's- had everything laid out just so, within my easy reach. Was making very good progress, while we were all also watching The Son on TV. Smoky sat watching like this:
..for the longest time. Then suddenly, he decided to pounce! Going for my moving hands, I think. Landed in my lap, and in my surprise- everything went flying! 😅 Lucky he didn’t get stuck by a needle or pin. I guess he decided he'd waited long enough for me to use those busy hands rubbing him, rather than for quilting. He has never done that before. Usually rubs against my ankles a bit, before playing hard to get. When I wanted to say, “so long” as it was time for me to leave.. he was nowhere to be seen. Wouldn’t answer our calls. Spotted him peeking from behind the wood box on the porch, as I got into the car. Cats- there's no predicting them! 😸
Thank you all for praying for Erin! Her mother told me she has had to resign. Still undergoing expensive tests and it looks as though she may have to apply for disability. Hopefully just temporarily. They'll try to help her manage the pain, including with PT. Her rheumatologist said that a desk job would be just as bad, or worse. I don’t know how her family will make it on her husband’s salary alone. If she has to stay on disability, they will have to sell their house. Maybe even move in with her mother for a time. She's my cousin, but younger and in much better health than me. She could help with childcare some of the time. She yet works at the bank. She and her husband still live in the same 3-bedroom house where they raised their family. It would be a bit crowded, but we do as we must for family.
