Quote for October

A Prayer for the Ephesians Eph. 3:14-21

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom His whole family in heaven derives its name. I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.


Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen!

Moving slowly in August 2013

For two or three weeks, I have not gotten much done. I made the comparison of how I feel to  having measuring cups full of energy. I need 5 cups full of energy to do the things I normally do, but I have been getting only 2 or 3 cups of energy per day; so I have to choose what to do.

On Monday I went to have lunch with fellow retired teachers that I began working with in 1999. Several of them retired 5 or 6 years ago. We had a wonderful time catching up on recent news. My husband and daughter went with me, and we took our scrapbook of pictures from France. It was a lovely time.

On Thursday I cooked dinner using some chicken and vegetables that were already in the refrigerator. I stir-fried the food and it was delicious. I was very tired with aching legs afterwards. Friday I walked our beagle. On many of these days I also washed 1-3 loads of laundry. It's a quiet life, and I don't get much accomplished. Grrr.

I would like to garden. Our house needs cleaning. I have been trimming our very large day lilies and an iris by cutting away 1/3 of each plant at a time. That takes about 20 minutes. I did some gardening Tuesday and ran out of energy quickly.

That's how things are going. I have decided to ask my oncologist to do an Octreoscan when I have a regular appointment with him September 4th. Today is August 24th, and I have been weak since July 7th, so I think we should check to see if any tumors have gotten larger. It has been at least a year since an Octreoscan was done.

Thank you for your concern. God bless you all.
