Still Embracing life..............BUT

I have to wonder why so many liked my last post. I think it is because it makes you feel better when you think or perceive me as being strong. I am telling you the truth as I discover this MSA road with its ups and downs I am not strong. I am weak.  We are trusting and trying hard to persevere but I have to tell you, it is HARD, so very hard. I know that perseverance will lead to proven character and proven character to HOPE  and HOPE that does not DISAPPOINT as it says in God's word. If we didn't believe it, I don't know how we would have made it this far.

It's one thing for Satan to attack me in my selfishness. I can work on that with your prayers and mine and knowing that we have victory over him. But to attack my family makes me have to dig to the deepest parts of all I know about the ONE who loves me, to prevent me from giving up. I think 3 of us had sorrowful crying times this week. That hurts, though cleansing as it may be. This disease is not only horrible, but goes on and on and as it does we seem to lose more of Keith and the kids lose more of their dad. I just need to be able to say it sometimes as do all of us who love Keith.

What can you do? Not much really. Keith is and never has been a very needy person. He has been discouraged this week at times. That doesn't surprise us does it? It's about time!  I must admit to you again,  that when you visit and talk or play a game with him makes our day go faster and we enjoy the time we have with you. Thank you for your visits. Bringing a donut or cookie is not even required but does bring a smile to Keith's face.

Special note to you Rob for coming from Seattle to see Keith. Also, I liked Caleb's music. =) He is a wonderful musician.
