As my longtime readers and friends know, I have a bothersome health condition. This health condition is life-threatening only in my head. I have, for the past few years, sentenced myself, not quite to death, but to living only a limited life with not much hope for a normal dotage. I didn't let myself plan for a nice retirement, travelling around in an RV (or more likely a Corvette and a teardrop trailer), with my Valentine. Recently, I've gotten wind of a genetecist who is working on a cure for the condition I have. I now allow myself to think ahead more, and I have allowed myself to think with some anticipation of a normal future. How normal is very questionable, as I see the future-my future-as an adventure, and I am curious and eager to see how it will all play out. My hopes and my questions are simple, such as, "Will my raised flower beds be as nice in reality as I see them in my head?"
A good friend of mine sums up my thoughts well by saying, "Our hope isn't in a cure." My real hope and my citizenship is with God in Heaven, and He holds every day of my future in His hands. Thanks and glory to Him for each day!

Amen; see my recent posts at Tuesdayssliceofbread.blogspot.com for my thoughts [if you wish to]
Jen, you are an inspiration to me. Your faith is so encouraging and praise God that you rest in him NO MATTER what he brings your way.
Amen! Jen, I haven't been as faithful a reader as I'd like to be, simply with multiple time constraints, but praise the Lord for this bit of hope. Not that it is our ultimate hope, but I gotta say, it does make me pretty happy.
