what was the topic :unsure: oh yeah rambling about being a child of God......
rambling on......

okay, as a Mama Bear, it gives a whole new understanding to me.........
I have a child that is (very at times) difficult, and it's not always by choice. And even though there are days that she drives me completely bonkers and there are behaviors she has that I absolutely DO NOT LIKE OR APPROVE OF it doesn't change my love for her!!!!!
And there are times (far to many to count) that I realize this as a child of God that there are behaviors that I have that He does not like and/or approve but that doesn't change His love for me!!!!! It's just mind boggling to try and think of. Makes me think of that verse (and sorry I don't know it exactly and am not looking up right now) about how no one can measure the depths of His love..........

Ya, it is so humbling his Love for us... and to know us so completely and want to know us so completely, as to know how many hairs are on my head? Wow, that's amazing! No matter what, to Love us to such a depth!
Thanks for taking the time, truly, to share that!

Ok...fine, by not saying anything, you all brought this joke on yourselves by the "dead air" 😎:

So, this horse walks into this convenience store. As he walks pass the clerk, the man looks at him and says "Hey buddy, why the long face?"

Ok, now see, this is a delayed response, lol. Very sorry. The heart wants to do things that sometimes we just can't do at the time. I have been super busy at work, due to the virus and have been working a lot. Most day, don't have or make the time to do thing I need to do lately. I came home and just needed to get a few things done.

I will say that I thank you truly, for your kind words. I can not take any credit for it, as I am acting who my Father has Blessed me to be. I know we all have choices, but I know that the Glory is his and to try and take it would not be giving honor to him for what he Blesses me to have as who I am or what he Blesses others through me. I'm just Bless to be used by him. I will pass along that you approve of his handy work. By the same token, he has made us in many respect is appears bu what you wrote quite similar in these respects. As I was reading what you were kind enough to right (and I was touched by your words), I know you were writing them about me, but I could see them just as easily begging written about you. Here you are, with something that is deep you are going through. Yet, you have taken the time, twice at least in a 24 hour period, so help Bless ours with the gifts Almight God has shared through you. So, thank you for sharing what has also placed on your heart to share with us and to take the time to do so. I see you doing much the same as you have eloquently wrote about what you see happening through me. Is it not amazing that the King of Heavenz who can do all things without us, instead chooses to let us be used to be a part of his Mighty mircles? Gifts I know that are his hand, so that is why I am so quick to point the Praise to him and not I. Just Bless to be a part of his Blessings. Praise be to ABBA, Our Father!

It sounds as if you will not have any need for surgery, Praise be to God for that, truly! I do understand the many doctor's calls and the back to back calls to them, from them and with Family and Friends, especially right now, trust me! I'm glad you have those in your life that love you and want to be there for you , even if by phone, but I pray in person to. And know, you have others here (by reading) and of course myself that you have touched our hearts. That we care about what happens to you. Is prayer not an amazing thing? The person does not even have to know we are praying for them, for them to be effected by Our Prayers and in turn, God's Loving Heart being moved and , of course, his Will being done (first and foremost). To sit back and marvel at his many mercies, His loving Grace, How much he loves us...I could sit and marvel and think on it for a hundred lifetimes I believe and still not be able to take it all in this side of Heaven (still expecting it will blow my mind in Heaven).
May God bless you with all the right doctor's, giving you all the right suggestions, and His Wisdom to know what you should do and when. That he may Bless you richy with his Strength after and during chemo, many people coming out of the wood work to be A Blessing to you so you have to worry for not, as it will be taken care of for his Loving Daughter, to hold her and carry her through this and be stronger in He Who Love You More Then You Could Possibly Know right now...
Ok, before I need to start dividing this up into chapters😄, I will wrap up. May this be a Blessing to you, which will in turn will have you looking to the one that guides my fingers to type this. You Are Loved...❤🙏😇
Thank you very much, BBG :) I had my first oncology appointment by phone today, with the radiologist, who told me that the regular course of treatment, along with chemo, is five days a week for five weeks, and he tried to minimize the concern I have at this time about the risk of going out so many times over such a length of time, and it could actually be 28 and not just 25 sessions, so six and a half weeks of five days a week? Truly I am not keen on that at all during this pandemic. There is an alternative: five stronger sessions of radiation. I have more questions that can probably be answered tomorrow... but surgery is going to be for sure, approximately two months following all that, which is to shrink the tumor and kill any errant cancer cells outside the colon, for the tumor has breached the colon wall, and there are enlarged lymph nodes near by. I keep forgetting to mention that two polyps were removed when the colonoscopy was done. The good news is that the CT scans revealed that no other organs showed any signs of anything to be concerned about.

After my five telephone calls the other day, I made another one which lasted close to two and a half hours, and another telephone call followed that one as well. Am I setting any records here? Probably lol... at least, for me :) Three others of the seven total exceeded one hour in length, as well. The longest call was to my eldest brother and his wife, who had recently cut short their yearly visit to Florida to return home, so they were in the middle of their two week quarantine after returning to Canada, and welcomed the change from the monotony they were experiencing, since they are not allowed to leave their property when they are used to walking and cycling many miles a day. My brother, who will be 73 soon, said he cycled 80 miles in one jaunt, which to me is astounding.

They had recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary (y)

The day after we spoke on the phone he and I emailed back and forth a few times, because I wanted to show him some of my Scripture panels, and we had several lovely lines of communication going relative to our shared family of origin and childhood memories. My sister-in-law wanted to make sure she could follow my progress by checking in with my closest sister, as they know I talk to her far more often than I am in contact with any of my other nine siblings, and I said okay to that, so called my sister to let her know. I thought we might only be on the phone for a few minutes because she is often busy with her family, but she had a lot to say about what is going on in her house with her children continuing to work and socialize, and looking after her grand daughter, and her ex husband freaking out about it all. My sister is immune compromised and so is her youngest daughter who lives with her.

That was one of my hour plus long phone conversations the other day. She is a retired emergency room nurse of thirty years, and we have been on the phone more than once when the whooping and hollering and whistling and honking and clapping and clanging of pots and pans starts up at seven o'clock here, to acknowledge the health care workers who continue to put them selves at risk on the front lines during this pandemic. Seven o'clock is shift change time ;) She thought it was sweet. She is also a cancer survivor.

@CharliRenee my sister says thank you to you as well, and says it was very sweet of you :)

My daughter also continues to work at the animal clinic where she has been employed for six years, with sometimes six co-workers, and although the contact with the general public has been reduced it has not been eliminated. So for any who have read this far, if you could please also remember to keep my sister and her family and my daughter and her family/housemates (dad, aunt, and grand dad) in your prayers at this time, I would really appreciate it :) God bless you all!

First, thanks for tagging me. I really appreciate knowing the course of action, and what the doctors said. Oh my 5 days a week with chemo. And or radiation? Surgery, oh Magenta, soooo much. Wait, the surgery is down the road huh? Seems they would do that first, but you explained why. Oh my, hugs and more hugs. Praise the Lord about the encouraging news that the the organs shows no signs. Yes, Praise the Lord.

I so appreciate what you and your sister do @7 to honor healthcare workers.

I am so glad you have a strong support system. Yes, I will be lifting your precious family in prayer. 80miles@73 is just 🤯, holy moly!!!
