one more day

I'm looking forward to next week. I've only got one more day, after today, with doctors and nurses, then I'm doctor free for two whole weeks!!! I think the treatments are working, because I'm getting more energy. Today it's the obgyn for my post op. check up. Then tomorrow my last iron treatment. Which is getting tiresome. But, it's what is best for me, so I face it with a smile. What else can I do? But getting stuck multiple times gets annoying anyway. Yesterday, the port we left in was bad, so they poked me again, and it worked just fine, for about 5 minuets. So they had to poke me again. Then they decided to slow down the rate, and that seemed to work just fine. :)

What a beautiful day out there today. the sun is shining so brightly. I hope it will be another warmer day. But even if it starts to cool down again, as long as the sun is out, it seems warmer.

Just a quick cute story about my youngest daughter. The other day, she was practicing her ballet, and dad told her she was doing a good job, and that "practice makes perfect." She quickly replied (without missing a beat) "no dad, practice make almost perfect, 'cause no one except Jesus is perfect." Truth out of the mouths of babes. She is leaning so much, and understands it all. My older two kids didn't grasp God quite so well, but that was because I didn't. And the church we went to wasn't as welcoming or really about teaching the kids all about Him. Just come in, sit down, stand up, kneel.... bye, bye. None of us really liked going. Funny thing is, dad didn't mind it there, because he didn't have to face the fact that if he didn't accept Jesus, he was in trouble. We all LOVE church. In fact it's hard to get the kids to go home often. They have so much fun with their friends afterwards. And they really love learning about our Savior. At the older church (it's been 10 years since we went) they didn't know anyone, not really. I only knew an adult or two, and we rarely said anything other than good morning.

But my eyes are open now. Now I see the joy there is to have when learning about Christ. How much there is to learn, and how wonderful it is to be around others who believe in Him, and really worship Him.
