God''s Hands Extended



"Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. "Poo?" he whispered.
"Yes, Piglet?"

"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's hand. "I just wanted to be there for you."
~ A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

  This cancer journey has thus far been at times difficult, painful, and fearful, yet I can honestly say that I have never felt more loved and cared for in my life. Yes - it's been so hard at times but it has also been filled with joy as I've experienced the love of Jesus through so many who have come along side and walked it with me. The outpouring of love, many acts of kindness, sacrificial giving of time, driving me to and from Seattle, the prayers, the meals, the flowers, the encouraging gifts, the cards, phone calls and texts, have all meant so much and made this journey more precious as each one truly was God's hands extended to me! Thank you doesn't seem quite enough but please know my heart is truly grateful.  I have seen Jesus in each friend and family member who has walked this journey with me.  My heart is overwhelmed with gratefulness.
