We Are Blest.

This week there were many things put back into routine. As school has begun so have the routines of early Bed times, lunches made the night before, clothes laid out and the thought of what each will have for breakfast.  Even my texting fingers are back into the swing of things as my mom likes a warning that we are on our way to my sisters where she watches the kids in the mornings as they get ready for me to pick them up as school is all of our destination.

 One other thing was, outdoor playing and relaxed mornings with a bowl of cereal for Lydia and a cup of "Joe" for me, was replaced with books and pencils for Lydia and making up the preschool classrooms ready for our 101 preschoolers this year for myself. 

Another Routine put back into our schedule is that we attended Gilda's Club again. This has proved to be a good support to Kent and Lydia and myself follow along as we are not left out of the support groups.  Lydia attends a group of about 8 or 9 kids in which they discuss many topics.  Some of them are related to Cancer and others are not.  Lydia has made many friends that she now knows by name and hugs as she leaves.  Kent often comes out of support group with a smile and talking with someone that he came out of support group with.  I, myself is finding that I may be put into my group not as someone that is gaining but an encourager,  This past week I learned that the 3 of us are Blest just as my title says.  It is often that I become discouraged and think," how and why me,." and I think about  those that are in our Gilda's family and we are simply Blest.

We often say a prayer, for all those who include a prayer for us.  We often say, "how would we manage without those around us who help clean, grab a grocery or mow our lawn.  For the ones who take Lydia so that we can go to a chemo treatment or Dr. Visit.   Those who spend a moment to send a text of encouragement or send a kind gift that we so don't deserve.   WE CAN'T SAY THANKS ENOUGH!  We love and thank God for each of you.  We appreciate each of you. As I sign off for now please know you mean the world to us and couldn't face this mountain climb without YOU!  Much Love
