Call for the elders of the church, and let them pray

Today Leslie went to work, then to radiation, and was able to return to work afterward. She had a good day. She is still in a great deal of pain and is working with her doctors to find the best treatment. Her radiation oncologist has been very gracious with his time, reassuring her that he is available to answer any and all of her questions.

After work, Leslie was able to rest while the older two did their homework and watched TV from her bed. We've been so thankful for how God has graced them with the patience and care for their mom. Aggie has even enjoyed rubbing her mom's feet and legs with lotion, and doting on her.

This evening, Leslie and I met with our Pastor, Ralph Johnston, and the elders at East Lanier Community Church. They gave up a great deal of time to talk with us and then pray for us. They annointed Leslie with oil before they prayed. The tears flowed and I was so moved by this great act of shepherding. I am so thankful for these men who put caring for us spiritually over business and administrative tasks. No one looked at their watches. Thoughtful questions and words of deep encouragement flowed to us. It was a beautiful thing.
