Let There Be Light

  As we sit out on our deck on this beautiful spring evening we're so grateful for life. Every breath is a gift and as we walk out this journey we're thankful for the chance to live like we're dying. The past couple weeks the good o'l Tim McGraw song "Live like your dying"  https://youtu.be/OJejCUfdnCM  has been in my head alot. I grew up listening to his music and always wondered what it would be like to experience that song. Not knowing whether Jesse will be around in a year from now makes things real. I think that's how we're ment to live though, we take life and all of its glorious things for granted so often. Our life is so much sweeter now; Sunrises on our morning walks, watching our garden grow, taking moments and really cherishing them becasue we don't know and none of us really do. I've been thinking alot about eternity lately and what it will be like. To be with Jesus face to face, to fall at His feet and worship Him continuously, to ...

  This past Monday we met with oncology at Brantford GH(we are switching to BGH since it's closer to us.) We really liked the oncologist we met and appreciated his honesty. He shared from his medical perspective Jesse didn't have much hope and could only see two years. That was tough to hear. As I write and think about my own life, what would I do with two years?  What about you?  Who would you forgive that you've been holding a grudge toward? How would you love and where would you put your time and energy? Because truthfully none of us know the number of days we will spend on this earth. Our days are numbered and we are living on borrowed time. So what are we going to do with that time?   I'm reminded of this verse : Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm. Psalm 20:7-8  Some trust in doctors and some trust in chemo but WE will trust in ...

  It's been a busy few days and we are grateful that we were able to keep our minds occupied this past weekend. Friday night we had a worship service; it was such a powerful night. We're so thankful for everyone who came out and were a part of it. To hear the singing and praises to our God was incredible. We will never forget that special night. Saturday Jesse and I went on a date in the afternoon.  We did some fishing, hiking and relaxing. It was much needed. We came home to a decked out deck and a bunch of beautiful people. We now have an oasis to hang out on and just enjoy this spring weather. Thanks so much friends/family for doing what you did. From the speakers, to the sign, to flowers and furniture it's such a special spot to be. As for Monday we had an appointment with a liver surgeon who we really liked. He was very helpful in explaining why he couldn't do surgery at the moment. Jesse has quite a few spots in different parts of his liver and it would be too com...
