6.30 p.m….
Not by might nor by power, but by His Spirit, says the Lord. (Zechariah 4.6)
Irene quoted this verse early this morning and again just a few minutes ago. It’s been a very rough day….
The doctors have previously informed us that Irene would enter a “valley” for 7-10 days following the chemotherapy. She’s just now entering that valley…
However, we also know this truth written by King David long ago…
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. (Psalm 23:4)
We are grateful that so many are supporting Irene…. Your thoughtful “well wishes” remind me of this verse…
Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. (Proverbs 16:24)
Irene is determined, focused and enduring, reminding me of this verse…
Blessed is the man (or woman) who perseveres under trial, because when she has stood the test, she will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. (James 1:12)
You can see from the photo that I “caught” Dave Whiting at the UCSF Blood Bank today… we’re grateful to Dave and so many others who are donating blood and platelets…and as I write this update from her bedside on the UCSF wireless internet, Irene is receiving platelets…
Thank you for all you’re doing for us…
Dave
