I've never taken the time out to thanks those who have not only been praying for me, but also keeping in touch, dropping in for a visit, sending emails, txts, cards, whatever. I cant tell you how much i appreciate your support. You represent a wide spectrum of friends, from my early youth and school all the way through to current work, church and community. Well done, all of you - take a bow. Its been a tough week, and this week (hopefully the last in this series of treatment) will be even tougher. Dont forget Fay and the family in your prayers, - they're the ones who see me in the darkest times, when I dont always keep it together, and it impacts on them.
I was encouraged by the words of a recent friend/visitor - we've journeyed through some tough times together - who reminded me of the verse in Corinthians - 'My grace is sufficient for you - my power is made perfect in your weakness' Hold on to that - you may be needing the same encouragement sooner than you think. No-ones bullet proof! Dont give up - keep praying, keep loving, keep growing.
Listen! Can you hear all the noise? It's us .... we're all cheering you both on as you climb this week's mountain one step at a time. Selwyn, Sue and everyone else who is believing for a miracle for Murray
ReplyDeleteYou have said it yourself, "keep praying, keep loving, keep believing in a miracle" We are with you all the way.

Hi Murray & Fay, Great blog - WE have become compulsive readers and believers.
ReplyDeleteWe love the comments - didn't know you knew so many people."To make a friend, you have to be a friend".
You richly deserve the positive comments and blogs.
Praying for you during this last week.
We haven't gone completely 'vege' but have cut down drastically on coffee.

Hi Murray,
ReplyDeleteLove the verse from Coronthians. Mum and dad were great staying with us, and were very supportive of our "month for Murray" eating. How has the treatment gone this week? Speaking of folically challenged.....was wondering if any blog followers out there wanted to particapate in the "shave for a cure" between the 4th and 10th of April??
Your positivity during these times are an inspiration Uncle Muzza. Love the Mt. branch Dixons x x x x
Hi Murray I took a lady into the hospiatl today for the 13th of her 16 radiotherpy treatments before she starts her chemo. She has temporarily lost the use of her right hand but what was so heartening for me was her wonderful, positive cheerful attitude, like you. she has the support of a lot of friends and family, like you. Both of you are an inspiration to rest of us to (in the words of Monty Python) "always look on the bright side of life".
