The celebration of Easter is not that far away...NEW BIRTH...NEW LIFE!!!! The RESURRECTION of our Lord and Savior...SPRING!!! NEW BEGINNINGS!!!
It is truly a BEAUTIFUL time of the YEAR!!! A RENEWAL OF HOPE!!!
As I ponder over the adversity that comes into our lives...I marvel that there is always a LIGHT intertwined in that challenge...For example...Facing Garvin's cancer has brought us the REALITY...that we are truly "mortal"...and that we really do NOT live forever here on earth...that one day...it will be "my turn" to RETURN HOME...back to the presence of our Father in Heaven...IT TRULY IS GOING TO HAPPEN!!! It is the WHEN...that most of us have NO CLUE......But, the fact is...IT WILL!
In the meantime...HOW and WHAT QUALITY of LIFE we have...certainly falls upon our OWN SHOULDERS...WHAT WE EAT...certainly reflects the QUALITY our BODIES will have during this "mortal probationary period"...
I am THRILLED at the RESULTS of our EFFORTS to turn to the "Word of Wisdom" in our daily walk through LIFE! You will chuckle...at an interview Garvin recently had with our Bishop and Stake President...when being interviewed for the renewal of his temple recommend...The question..."Do you live the 'Word of Wisdom"...came up...and Garvin blurts out..."I do NOW!!!" (smile)
We are both continuing to LOSE...I am feeling STRONGER every day...Garvin...is able to FUNCTION BETTER...since we changed his diet...He has lost over 32 pounds and I have lost 16...Though, starting MONDAY...Garvin will begin his CHEMO therapy...he will STAY on his NEW LIFESTYLE diet...He will never go back...to what he was doing PRIOR...to this "challenge" he is currently working through...YES...THERE IS A "LIGHT" in every trial...Living the "Word of Wisdom"...is that GUIDING LIGHT for our "physical well being". In turn...it DOES AFFECT our "SPIRITUAL" side of our nature! It is TRULY A BLESSING of WISDOM!!!!
