Patience Is A Virtue

I always say that God requires us to learn patience and it is a lesson that he will not let us miss. I've also thought of myself as a patient man in most situations, and it is clear this is one where patience is more than a virtue it is sanity in the midst of crazy making waiting. Lots of communication with people up north to keep them informed fills some of the time. I put a picture of Marsha with our friends Dave & Pat in my blog today because it was on this day last year that Marsha asked them to come to, in fact into, the appointment with the oncologist. They said yes even though I think they were quite surprised. It speaks volumes for the way Marsha viewed our relationship with Dave & Pat. It also tells you a great deal about the open nature of my wife. She was in many ways an open book with those she trusted, and she especially trusted Christ. As some people try to hide away their problems, weaknesses, and issues from others they often think they can do the same from their God. Marsha was not one to hide from situations. It was in her time approaching death as it was in her way of approaching life that she faced it head on.
