Your world is very small but it is also vast and as Walt Whitman once wrote it "...contains multitudes." Multitudes of details to worry over - yes, multitudes of appointments, meds, foods, kids comings and goings, all of it.
And yet, adversity is the truest test of character and good nature and this adversity - which is pretty damned adverse - is showing your courage, patience, compassion, trust, faith, intelligence, kindness, and capacity to be a loving person.
I am sorry to hear of the IV pump issues - if I were still there - would love to take some of those details out of your hands.
Please give Phil my best - I am wearing the Livestrong band you gave me each and every day - always glancing at it during the day - especially on training runs and rides.
you guys are always in our thoughts and prayers. Give Bennett and Olivia hugs from us too! I'm hoping to come see Phil, you, and the kideroos maybe next week. We are praying daily and really have you always in our hearts!
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed....Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day...So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:7-9, 16, 18. May it be so for the Conrad household. Lord have mercy! I love you. Anita
