January 4, 2011

Dear friends and family,
Happy New Year! Or better yet, a Blessed New Year to you!!  The Christmas season has come and gone and I trust you felt as blessed as I did to enjoy some wonderful times with family and friends. 
Friday, December 31st, was my last chemo treatment.  Again, it has been the mercy of the Lord that I have felt so good since then.  The next step, as I think I've mentioned, is to meet with Dr. Klimo to decide on the 'maintenance' program.  This appointment is set for the middle of January.
 
I don't think I could 'sum' up the past year any better than some verses that were part of Daily Light's reading for December 31.  "The Lord your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went until you came to this place....I am He, and even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry and will deliver you....Thus far the Lord has helped us."  These verses were again given on January 3rd.  What a great promise that followed, " The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail." (Isa. 58:11)
 
Love, Miriam
