Wow. You’ve had more than your fair share of pain this summer, Pamela. I’m glad you were given and received grace through it all.

The only negative about receiving my good report is they still haven’t diagnosed what’s wrong. But even ruling out something is positive information so I’m thankful for that. (If it ends up being fibro, I may contact you and a few others I know who deal with that….)

I don’t know much about esophageal cancer, but it sounds painful. Praise God that you’ve been clear for 4 years!

So you know the pain of those tests. Not fun, huh? But what a gift that they used it to diagnose your problem so you could return you to your music. Good things CAN come through pain.

I was just talking with my brother yesterday about how God’s grace is always bigger than whatever we are going through. He can’t and won’t be outdone! That brings me peace. Thanks for stopping by, Mindy.

I like your Trinitarian connection; yes, I believe so as well. All the parts of “self” are connected in more ways than we realize, and when one part hurts, it flows over into others. Same as between people, which you’ve been experiencing.

But I am also thankful that we do have the hope of Christ for full restoration of all the pieces of us! I know the work has already begun.

Sayings a prayer for the one dear to you who has suffered and for your own suffering because of it….

Love that picture, Betty. Yes, the more worn out this body gets, the more I look forward to a trade-up as well.
