Greetings of peace and joy friends!
Just an update to let you know that Margaret and her entourage will be seeing the oncologists today at Mount Sinai to discuss treatment protocols and options. Please pray with us today.
Also a second opinion appointment is scheduled at Memorial Sloan-Kettering for Wednesday Feb. 2.
As we had hoped all is moving along at fast pace. It is such a blessing to feel so carried in God's Grace during this time. Thank you for all your love, support, kindness and prayers!

The gift God gave me today is a big one well yes I say that often but this one is really big for me. I went out for an early morning walk as my neighbor was leaving for work. We exchanged some comments about the white stuff then I told her I was appreciative of what her husband and son are doing for me. I walked away and the tears came as I went to all the things I can no longer do and will not be able to do in the coming months. My first impulse was to stop the tears but I said to myself or the Spirit said let the tears come. I thought of not being able to hold Carter and shovel my own snow the latter making me dependent on others and the tears continued to come. I looked up and my eyes landed on a Holly bush with red berries covered in snow and I smiled. It hit me when I look at myself and my limitations tears come. When I look at God in nature the smiles come. Smiles/tears, smiles/ tears my choice. What is so wonderful is this brings me to two sentences God gave me last night as I wrote Sunday’s sermon. the sentences were "I was promptly reminded of how quickly we recognize our humanity. The question is how quickly do we recognize God’s majesty." So yes God does give me good gifts all the time. And yes my brothers and sisters I get that this is about surrender and has little to do with cancer and more to do with his love for me.
