isn't that awesome!? I was thinking bout that earlier this evening....
to be all grown up, and yet in His eyes still be a child, being loved and adored just because your His child......
no amount of performance can make Him love you anymore or any less.....
oh I could ramble on with this for a while..........

what was the topic oh yeah rambling about being a child of God......
rambling on......
okay, as a Mama Bear, it gives a whole new understanding to me.........
I have a child that is (very at times) difficult, and it's not always by choice. And even though there are days that she drives me completely bonkers and there are behaviors she has that I absolutely DO NOT LIKE OR APPROVE OF it doesn't change my love for her!!!!!
And there are times (far to many to count) that I realize this as a child of God that there are behaviors that I have that He does not like and/or approve but that doesn't change His love for me!!!!! It's just mind boggling to try and think of. Makes me think of that verse (and sorry I don't know it exactly and am not looking up right now) about how no one can measure the depths of His love..........

Thank you very much, BBG I had my first oncology appointment by phone today, with the radiologist, who told me that the regular course of treatment, along with chemo, is five days a week for five weeks, and he tried to minimize the concern I have at this time about the risk of going out so many times over such a length of time, and it could actually be 28 and not just 25 sessions, so six and a half weeks of five days a week? Truly I am not keen on that at all during this pandemic. There is an alternative: five stronger sessions of radiation. I have more questions that can probably be answered tomorrow... but surgery is going to be for sure, approximately two months following all that, which is to shrink the tumor and kill any errant cancer cells outside the colon, for the tumor has breached the colon wall, and there are enlarged lymph nodes near by. I keep forgetting to mention that two polyps were removed when the colonoscopy was done. The good news is that the CT scans revealed that no other organs showed any signs of anything to be concerned about.
After my five telephone calls the other day, I made another one which lasted close to two and a half hours, and another telephone call followed that one as well. Am I setting any records here? Probably lol... at least, for me Three others of the seven total exceeded one hour in length, as well. The longest call was to my eldest brother and his wife, who had recently cut short their yearly visit to Florida to return home, so they were in the middle of their two week quarantine after returning to Canada, and welcomed the change from the monotony they were experiencing, since they are not allowed to leave their property when they are used to walking and cycling many miles a day. My brother, who will be 73 soon, said he cycled 80 miles in one jaunt, which to me is astounding.
They had recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary
The day after we spoke on the phone he and I emailed back and forth a few times, because I wanted to show him some of my Scripture panels, and we had several lovely lines of communication going relative to our shared family of origin and childhood memories. My sister-in-law wanted to make sure she could follow my progress by checking in with my closest sister, as they know I talk to her far more often than I am in contact with any of my other nine siblings, and I said okay to that, so called my sister to let her know. I thought we might only be on the phone for a few minutes because she is often busy with her family, but she had a lot to say about what is going on in her house with her children continuing to work and socialize, and looking after her grand daughter, and her ex husband freaking out about it all. My sister is immune compromised and so is her youngest daughter who lives with her.
That was one of my hour plus long phone conversations the other day. She is a retired emergency room nurse of thirty years, and we have been on the phone more than once when the whooping and hollering and whistling and honking and clapping and clanging of pots and pans starts up at seven o'clock here, to acknowledge the health care workers who continue to put them selves at risk on the front lines during this pandemic. Seven o'clock is shift change time She thought it was sweet. She is also a cancer survivor.
@CharliRenee my sister says thank you to you as well, and says it was very sweet of you
My daughter also continues to work at the animal clinic where she has been employed for six years, with sometimes six co-workers, and although the contact with the general public has been reduced it has not been eliminated. So for any who have read this far, if you could please also remember to keep my sister and her family and my daughter and her family/housemates (dad, aunt, and grand dad) in your prayers at this time, I would really appreciate it God bless you all!
