Interlude III

In one sense nothing is happening at the moment. We are still having a chemo break; the next "booking" is for a scan on June 14th, and then back to see the doctor on July 5th (unless called in early when scan results available - we shall see).

But in reality we have much to thank the Lord for. There is the emotional /psychological effect of Sue's hair starting to grow again! There is also a measure of physical improvement; she continues to be quite bright in herself, not much pain recently, and able to go for a short walk last Saturday. She is able to read a little too.

But we would not forget that there are the mercies of each new day - so often taken for granted

"It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in Him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for Him, to the soul that seeketh Him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD"( Lam 3:23-26)

We are therefore seeking to "rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him", and also to "praise Him for all that is past, and trust Him for all that's to come".



Look back, my soul, and see
The One who died for thee;
Bearing God's wrath upon the cross,
That He might set thee free.

Look up and see Him there,
The Father's Son enthroned;
The One who reigns in glory now,
Having for sin atoned.

Look down and see the hell
From which He hath saved thee;
Look round and wonder, why such grace
Should choose to look on thee ?

Look forward to seeing Him!
When world and life shall wane,
We'll praise for ever, and will love
The Lamb for sinners slain.
