I had an epiphany today while sitting in the oncologist's office. There's so much talk and paraphernalia about finding cures for cancer. There's bitter talk about why Heavenly Father would allow such suffering. I sat there thinking to myself, No. My heart tells me it's not like that at all! ... Think of the communities and families that have come together to love, serve, and mourn with one another.
Our Father in heaven provides opportunities every day for us to keep his commandments, to follow His ultimate example of serving, loving, caring for His spirit children, our spirit brothers and sisters. I get to experience firsthand on a daily basis how beautiful the hearts of mankind really are.
Turn off the news of contentious politics, crime, and adultery for a bit. You'll find a world of compassion. PLEASE ACCEPT MY GRATITUDE to all those who uplift and show me what leading a Christ-like life is really all about. Loads and loads of LOVE!!!

Chemo Session #11
This session went unbelievably well. As always, the day of chemo I feel pretty nauseas, but it passed quickly and I even went out for a bike ride on Wednesday (which used to be my 'crash day'). I pray the next 4 sessions go just as well.
This may sound stupid but some days when I don't feel like running I'll think "Bri goes running with cancer!" and it gets my lazy but out of bed. You are an inspiration. :)
Wow you went for a bike ride!!! good job. Hang in there you're doing great
ReplyDeleteI hope they go well too Bri!! That's so awesome that you were out riding on your crash day... any day really... where do you find your drive!?!
