Sabbath Service

These last couple of days have been pretty rough.  The chemotherapy is doing whatever it does that makes me feel both pain and yuckiness.  I spent until approximately 4 PM in bed today, just trying to get comfortable.  Then shortly after 4, I started feeling quite a bit better, so I got to go over to Melissa's for family dinner and cousin time with the visiting Dibbs.  I was grateful to be able to get out of the house.

Anyone who knows me knows that I love the Sabbath day.  I love church, I love the music, I love my Primary class, I love everything about the Sabbath day.  Today was strange for me because I couldn't go to church.  I felt too nauseous even to watch my traditional Music and the Spoken Word at 9:30am.  However, I sure was the recipient of blessed Sabbath day service!   My sister from California and her family are still in town, Michael and Julia are here, and my sister Melissa and her family have been wonderful.  I'm so grateful for family; I don't know how I would have made it through these last few days without them.  My family spent so much time today serving me.  My sisters washed my hair, forced me to choke down liquid calories that I hate, but I need in order to not get sicker...they gave me my shots.  They have been so kind and good to me.

I want to genuinely thank every single person who fasted on my behalf today.  It's very humbling to know that people are willing to make such a sweet sacrifice on behalf of others.  I really felt as if my little surge of improvement at 4ish was a blessing from heaven after two days of feeling so horrible.  Thank you also to everyone who reached out to visit me today.  I'm so sorry that I felt too yucky to entertain visitors today.
