It's a Party!

We celebrated our 2 nieces (ages 3 and 5) January birthdays today! Yay! 

I enjoyed cross stitching these sweet little bear ballerinas 

and had a grand time dressing up their gift bags with them. 

And boy, oh boy!, did they both enjoy

the pink kiddie cameras tucked inside.

Abiding Pilgrim

Had my annual (routine) mammogram this morning and, on a whim, I took this wise book 

with me. Between it and the very kind woman who registered me again this year (she 

remembered me!), both were very good, soothing company, their presence alone easing and 

calming nerves that just naturally arise, even when all is well. 

It was such a lovely, unexpected gift to share my word, Abide, with dear Miss Stephanie. 

Not only did she instantly resonate with it, she also said some kind words, blessing and 

affirming me.  

While sometimes far and very few between, today I am deeply grateful - again and again! - 

for those dear, soft lights that were there along my cancer journey trail (and other paths since) 

quietly encouraging me by their prayerful presence to Trust and Hope even when I was 

running on empty.  And in those moments when I just couldn't?  They were right there, 

allowing me to borrow their faith.
