Come Home

They are coming home!

They left yesterday, but won't arrive until tomorrow!

Praise the Lord!

Homeward bound at last!

"I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies . . ."
Psalm 119:14 



An Enduring Mercy

God's mercy is indeed great!

It's awesome,

sensational,

amazing,

miraculous,

staggering,

astonishing.

Many times we have to remind ourselves of this.

I know I do.

Especially when all around us lies wickedness.

Especially when someone we love is hurt.

I have to say to myself, "Even though Mrs.Tracey has cancer,

even though the pain has been abominable,

and a child died yesterday of cancer,

and someone was murdered,

and people hate You,

God's mercy is STILL there.

God is STILL good!

He won't stop being so."

Mrs. Tracey had her blood work done.

Her final radiation treatment is a week from today.

The doctors told her she is doing so well,

she doesn't have to come back for her checkup for six months!

I can see Mrs. Tracey dancing!

Laureli smiling and hugging.

Everyone lifting hands to heaven,

praising God for that enduring mercy of His.

Thank you, Lord Jesus!

When she comes home, Mrs.Tracey said she's going to have BIG! party!

"Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever."

1 Chronicles 16:34

" . . . Who Holds My Hand."

"Many things about tomorrow,

I don't seem to understand.

But I know who holds tomorrow,

and I know who holds my hand."

     This song has been running through my head alot lately.
     It is so true. I may not know what the future will bring, but there is one thing that I am absolutely, positively sure of. Wherever I am, whatever is happening in my life, God will be right there beside me. He has been my constant companion all through my journey with cancer. He has been there for my high times and my low times.
     I will admit, there have been some low times. Times when I did not think I could take another shot, or times when I would look in the mirror and say, "Who is that hairless thing looking back at me."
     Believe me, I have had my share of pity parties. But those would be the times when my Heavenly Father would be there to remind me that this too shall pass.
     Well, I have finished chemo, and I have had my first radiation treatment. I am staying in Oklahoma with my daughter Laureli for about a month and a half. I have to take 30 treatments of radiation.
     Tony and Roby are staying at home in Nebraska. This is the first time that I have been away from home for a long time. Tony and Roby will have to cook, clean, and take care of the ranch. Oh boy!! I wonder how they will get along without me?!!
     When you pray, just put in a little prayer for them if you don't mind. I know they would appreciate it. My prayer for this blog is to show others God's love and His constant care for His children.
     Remember that even though we may not know the future, just keep in mind that God will always be there for you.
     All we have to do is call out His name.

Love,
Tracey
