Hello there!
I’m dictating the following information to Yvonne, so that she can update the site! (I’m not well enough to sit and type!)
I’ve been home for a few days. Our son Paul (who flew up from North Carolina) left this afternoon. And needless to say, I miss him already so much! He is so loving, and helpful around the house. Cleaning up, vacuuming etc. He is very good at that. He also had a chance to meet with some of his old friends.
It is good to be home again with my husband…but my stay in the hospital was good too. I called it a “five star” hotel! The staff was excellent at St Boniface. I could have gone home a day earlier, or stayed a day longer, but Saturday I felt “Today is the day!”
My spirits are good. A feeling like “What’s the big deal anyhow?” I’d heard that people with cancer have this cloud of gloom hanging over them. That’s not me! I don’t sleep all that well because of pain and discomfort, but I can nap easily during the day.
Monday was a very busy day. Lots of phone calls, and some visitors. Today so far, has been quiet. I watch some TV, but I get tired of it very quick. I read, knit, all the things I like to do. “The time of my life” haha.
I feel extremely close to God. I was up at 6am, got myself some milk, some toast, and I did my devotional. Ecclesiastic 1:1-11. Since I use “the Daily Bread” devotion, that was the passage for today. I skimmed thru the next chapters, and found in chapter 11:1
Ecclesiastes 11:1-3 (New International Version)
1 Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again.
2 Give portions to seven, yes to eight,
for you do not know what disaster may come upon the land.
Or in other words:
Ecclesiastes 11:1-3 (The Message)
1Be generous: Invest in acts of charity. Charity yields high returns.
2Don't hoard your goods; spread them
around. Be a blessing to others. This could be your last night
That made me think of what my nephew Tim said yesterday. His wife Sandra had made some soup and salad for me. He came to drop it off after work. (Quite out of his way too!) Tim said “Aunt Trudy, it’s your turn. (to receive)” I was deeply touched. Its much easier for me to give than to receive. That’s why I’m so overwhelmed by all the love I’ve received. People who have brought meals etc. I want to thank everyone of you who has shown me kindness, and thank you for your prayers.
Talk to you soon!
