Today Bob and I celebrate 24 years of marriage. Thank you Lord for the many blessings you have given us, especially Jessica, Daniel and Matthew. Thank you Bob, aka Mr. Wonderful, for your steadfast love and dedication to me and to our children.
I feel as though I am finally able to take a deep breath and relax. So many of my friends have said to me in the last 3 months, “don’t forget to breathe”! I thought that I was, but today I can say there is an element of relaxation with that breath. We are by no means done walking down this road, but I think it is fair to say a bend in the road has occurred.
How do I tell all you wonderful people how much I appreciate your prayers and encouragement? I have come to know the power of the Body of believers in a very personal way. It is humbling to know that so many are praying for Dan and for our family. Thank you so very much.
As King David rejoiced in the Lord, so do we:
Psalm 21:1-7
O Lord, the king rejoices in your strength.
How great is his joy in the victories you give!
You have granted him the desire of his heart
and have not withheld the request of his lips.
You welcomed him with rich blessings
and placed a crown of pure gold on his head.
He asked you for life, and you gave it to him—
length of days, for ever and ever.
Through the victories you gave, his glory is great;
you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty.
Surely you have granted him eternal blessings
and made him glad with the joy of your presence.
For the king trusts in the Lord;
through the unfailing love of the Most High
he will not be shaken.

Dear Jamie & Bob: Congratulations on your 24th anniversary. Since learning of Dan's illness,I have been praying for his complete remission. I know that the many friends you have provide you with a great deal of strength. I feel so blessed that Bob and I have stayed friends all these many years (dare I say close to 50??) But with the power of your love and your shared belief in HIM you can harness this beast and conquer it. My love to you and your family. You are in my prayers always..Donna Ehrhardt Mann
Donna,
Hey, thanks so much for thinking of us. It really means a lot. I do not know if it translates well over the blog, but we really did get some wonderful news with the latest PET scan in September. The tumor reduction was way beyond my expectations. Pictures really do say more than a thousand words. We are not at all done with this so keep praying. To God be the glory great things He has done. Bob
