You amaze me

Today has been an amazing day. I'm mostly amazed at the outpouring of God's love that is coming my way. I know it's totally God's love, because I don't deserve all that I'm receiving. Truly. I have received chemo caps crocheted by the hands of a young mother with 3 small children (who has much better things to do and must be doing it in her sleep), I've received wigs from delightful friends who anticipate how much more fun I will have as a blond (woo hoo), I've received a precious angel figurine who accompanied two very dear friends through their own medical crises (I'm going to take a picture of my little angel friend with me at chemo and other places just as if she were Flat Stanley). And a devotion book and a LIFE IS GOOD hat from a dear friend who is unbelievably caring. Then I received wonderful hand lotions and bath salts from a friend who was where I am just about a year ago. And then there is the food calendar set up by my friend whose husband broke his back just a week ago. And the flowers sent by my dear friends across the street. And more hugs than some people receive in a lifetime. I cried several times today - not because I have cancer - but because I have God's people just loving me. It's overwhelming and wonderful. You inspire me and encourage me and give me strength.

I love you. God is good. And you guys make Him and me smile.
