Not a day has gone by that we don't get another encouraging card in the mailbox. I never truly appreciated the feeling that a handwritten card can give. I've grown to love that walk back from the mailbox. Our friends and family continue to build us up. The Body of Christ healing itself...amazing!
Now another "3 weeks" period of time is on my mind. In 3 weeks from yesterday Allison will have had her surgery and will be resting here at home. I wonder how she'll feel... sore? most certainly... scared? depressed? Or will she be relieved and anxious about moving past this? How will I handle it? Will I be able to be that steady rock she's supposed to find in her husband? God, please give me the courage to be that rock and the wisdom to point her to You.
Tonight is Breast Cancer Awareness night at the Byrnes game, the first home game since the one we missed on that awful day 3 weeks ago. They say its supposed to be a "pink out". Caylie and some of her friends had their pink shirts "customized". Several had "A. Walker" airbrushed on the back. Caylie had "Mommy" airbrushed on her's. Wow, what an amazing tribute. Already we've been told "I'm doing this for you" and "This is in honor of your mom Caylie". I know its not and I know it sounds selfish, but it makes me happy to think that this entire night is in honor and dedication to the woman I love. That everyone there is dressed in pink just for her, nudging her and encouraging her in this journey.
So...3 weeks... a lot sure can happen in such a short period of time.
God, let this journey and our response to it be gratifying to You and may Your Glory be displayed.
