NOTES AND
THANKS RECEIVED—
My Heartfelt
Thanks
It feels a little strange to be writing for the Living Lord Love Letter, but
also kind of nice. I have been doing a Newsletter for my dog club, The Tibbie
Times since I left Living Lord and I will try to remember I am writing this for
people and not our fur-friends.
Since I discovered I had cancer and Pastor Rob announced it at church, I have
had an over whelming response of love and concern. I have received over 100
cards, more phone calls than I could count and beautiful flowers from Helen and
Harold Hayden as well as altar flowers.
My Pastor has been at my side every step of the way, even rising at 5:30 AM the
day of my surgery to be at the hospital with me as were my dear, warm friends
Ginnie Lewis and Mac Mclaughlin. Not only did they provide the strength and
spiritual love I so needed, but they sat with and comforted my children and
husband during those long hours.
No one takes the word CANCER well. It for me was the very first time I have ever
had to face a major health crisis. God had blessed me with many, many years of
excellent health and this came as a completely surprise and shock. I am also not
the bravest person in the world when it comes to hospitals and surgery and I
know I would not have been able to go through this time without so much love,
friendship, prayer and support from all at Living Lord.
My family has always been the center of my world and I do have the most
wonderful children. My daughters flew down immediately and never left my side.
Kathleen is a nurse and slept at the hospital each night and made sure I had the
best of care in every respect. Helene and Tim were my support system and poured
out so much love it made possible to work through the discomfort and pain of
surgery.
All of you, who know my husband, know there is no finer person in this world.
God has blessed me with someone who is there for me each hour of the day and
night and has always put my well being before all else. He has never left my
side from the moment we discovered I had cancer and remains my tower of strength
giving up many nights sleep to comfort me and take care of me.
I started this out as a small thank you to all of my wonderful friends at Living
Lord who has shown me such an abundance of love and concern, but I also had a
silent partner who had His arms around me every moment, our Lord never let me
flounder or feel alone or deserted at any moment during this time.
No one would choose to have cancer. No one would choose to have surgery or the
discomfort and fear which follows, but were I to have a choice to live these
past few months over with out this dreaded disease, I would not. I have had
living proof of God's love and his concern for me. I have know such warmth and
love from my friends and realize how closely connected we all are in God's love,
and I have learned so many lessons of patience and acceptance that cancer seems
like a small price to pay for the gifts I have received.. My bonds of love with
my children have increased 10 fold and I have lived through and completely
understood those words we tend to take for granted "For better or worse, in
sickness and health, till death do us part."
With love and thanks,
Joan Waters

What a beautiful website to wake up to! I got up at
4:00 A.M. to get some work done and have not gotten
started on it, and it is now almost 5:00!!
Am going to add it to my
favorites. Love the music.
