Her dad was diagnosed in the middle of her moms treatments and is still fighting the fight. He is currently not feeling well. Dennis is a huge man with a huge heat. He has always been big and strong. It is a little hard for everyone to see this giant of a man smaller and weaker.
I find myself praying for all 3 of them often! I pray for healing, strength, peace, and a closeness to The Lord like never before. I just ramble on and on daily to the Lord on their behalf. One thing that I don't have to pray for LOVE! They are a precious family so full of love for each other that it overflows. There may be oxygen tanks in their home and 2 of the 3 of them are bald as can be from chemo, but there is love! What a blessing and gift that is.
I had Sherri on my mind so much that one day this week I was writing my kids names on cups and wrote her name in! (See picture)
When I think of friendship, friends like her, and the love of family in good times and bad, I can't help but think of the source of all love! Love begins and ends with Jesus Christ! His love fills us up when we involve Him in our lives, and as a result of Him, we can love others!
Speaking of love, I love this verse: "Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies" from Psalms 36:5. Look that up today and really take it in! His love reaches to the heavens and his faithfulness to the skies! Rest today in that love. Live in that love today and pass it on with a hug, phone call, text, card mailed, meal delivered, prayer prayed, or even a simple smile. Thought of the day is a simple one: love!
