Splendid

I can't think of any other word to describe the past couple of days except for... splendid.

It has just been the four of us here at home in the peace and quite enjoying each others company, watching movies, eating leftovers and lots of pie with Hot chocolate, coffee for me and the hubs of course, lounging in our pajamas. Does it get any better?

Nope.

It's just been Perfectly Splendid.

Tomorrow is Monday which in turn starts another crazy week. Exactly 25 days till Christmas and I can't seem to get into the spirit of it all. I did go out Friday for a little bit after taking Kim to work. I picked up just a couple of things. The crowds were just more than I felt like dealing with.

December 11th seems to be the only day on my mind. I am dreading it. I don't know why this time I am so anxious. We have done these scans and visits with the Oncologist so many times you would think it would be like second nature. Maybe it's just because I don't want to hear anymore bad news especially here before Christmas. I am slightly more stressed than normal. I have been having these crazy dreams about the scan, waking up in cold sweats. What is that about? Seriously. I think maybe that dirty old Devil is trying to break my spirit. But Oh no sir. I will continue to Pray it Up. Cause God hears me and knows all the wants of my heart. He is Good, He is Mighty, He is Mine. He knows. It is all in His hands and in His time.

Also be checking back in on Tuesday I have a little something I want to show you all. It has to do with just how wonderful of a Dad my Hubby really is.

Your time together sounds heavenly, and exactly what you need right now.

Our family is sending prayers your way right now. And Gabe's real loud, so I'm sure God will hear him.

Try to keep your sanity this week, despite the busy-ness of life with kids in school, etc.

It's so hard to follow in Lizzy's footsteps. Cause she always has the best comments. And the most sound advice. Revel in your togetherness today. We'll add our prayers - and hope that they are as loud as Gabe's!

Gina said...

I can understand your anxiety- and you are dealing with it exactly how you should- taking it the One Who Holds Our Future in His Hands.
Hang in there, girl- lots of love out here for you.

Today I wrote down all of your names in my prayer journal...and next to it I wrote, "VICTORY." Because that is my world for you all. I claim it in Jesus' Name.

Great news. I'm glad you got some good family time in.

As for the shopping and the season, I so hear you there. It would be so much better if Christmas came in March after I got my tax money back.

And if the devil doesn't like it, he can sit on a tack!

Hang in there, girly .. praying it up with you!

Britt said...

Susie said...

What a perfect weekend...

For some reason, the closer those scans get, the more stress we are under. I was so anxious the day of Ric's last scan, I was a mess. I got absolutely nothing done at work. That is when you need to take a "me" day. I watch my friend with the colon cancer and think of Richard and pray that both of them are cured.

You need more of those perfect weekends.

I love 'jama days with my grandchildren. We don't get dressed until their Mam, my daughter is due to arrive! She just doesn't get this at all, she's got to be up and doing.

Take care Kori
