Im so grateful for the power of prayer and how the simplest of prayers can be the most powerful. Today was a rough one on Matt. The side effects have really started to show and take a toll on Matts body bit hes been such a trooper and his attitude has remained positive. It looks like we will be skipping the 1:00am dose of treatment to give his body a rest and it is hard for me to leave his side so I can go pick up the kids and go love on them... But I am so grateful that Matt gets to spend some time with his brother tonight. One of the things that is really interesting is the spirit and feeling you get when you walk in the room. When I came in this morning I was stressed with the events that had happened in my morning (nothing bad just the same shenanigans dealing with the kids) and trying to work on my business and organize bills that need to be paid, phone calls that I needed to make etc... Once I came into his room this morning, a peace was here and my perspective realigned and I was able to recenter myself and focus on one thing at a time and the things that really mattered. The time that I have been able to spend with Matt today has been everything to me and is something I am cherishing because it is something I dont know how much I will have. Matt said the same thing... Ever since I walked in he has been wanting me to hold his hand or sit with him on the bed. His words were, I dont know how many more times I can do this so I have to take advantage of every moment My takeaway that I want to share is that we all need to recenter our perspectives. We allow so many things to occupy our time that holds no eternal value. Im grateful for the peace and the Angels that are present in this room. It is a place of spiritual and emotional comfort. I am grateful to have the knowledge that there is a marvelous eternal plan and that trials, suffering, sickness and even death are all a part of it. Yes-- I mentioned death. I mentioned the word that is the elephant in the room. We are not giving up, and we are fighting. But we have also chosen to embrace the Lords will and we are getting more and more of a glimpse of what that is a little more every day. While it is hard, we have peace and we are comforted. Does it make it easier? No, but with peace we can press forward with a steadfastness in Christ with a perfect brightness of hope. Im grateful to know we are not nor ever will be alone and that our Savior suffered and felt all of this for us so that He could be the one to carry us through this trial.
