Happy New Year!
I know it has been way too long since the last post but life has a way of getting away from us. Now that comment really gives me pause - life is too precious for us to let it get away from us. I will try to do a better job of keeping you up to date on Alan.
First the good news - Alan and I spent the afternoon singing together (as I played the guitar) and enjoying the blessings of God through many wonderful old hymns....
Victory in Jesus, I'll Fly Away, Blessed Assurance, Balm in Gilead, In the Garden, The Lighthouse and many more. We sang together for over two hours. We finished up the afternoon with His Eye is One the Sparrow - and I know he watches me. I know he watches Alan!
Please keep Alan in your prayers - the chemo is rough. His spirit is amazing and my heart and soul are blessed after having spent the afternoon with him. Remember to call him - leave a message if he does not answer - he has good days and bad days. One of the songs (new to Alan) that touched us both was The Servant Song and I want to share some of it with you.
We are travelers on a journey,
fellow pilgrims on the road.
We are here to help each other,
walk the mile and bear the load.
I will hold the Christ-light for you,
in the night time of your fears.
I will hold my hand out to you,
speak the peace you long to hear.
I will weep when you are weeping,
when you laugh I'll laugh with you,
I will share your joys and sorrows,
'til we've seen this journey through.
We ARE all travelers on this journey and we ALL have burdens to bear - let us travel together in the light and love of God and let us bear one another's burdens and let us all see this journey through...together.
Peace and blessings to you all. Genie
Please don't forget to pray for Ronnie & Alan's parents - they are wonderful caregivers and they are surely bearing Alan's burden with him.
