I received an email from Moira a friend of Our Jennifer’s, actually it was addressed to both of us. And she was telling us about this friend of hers that lives up in Victoria, BC, Canada and who for the last ten years has spent three months each year working in an orphanage in India. But this year she is doing something different, walking the Camino de Santiago. She started on September 25th in France and plans on being in Santiago on November 1st, her 80th birthday!
We will think of her and pray for her as she makes her way across the autumn landscape of Northern Spain. We think of her and pray that her near eighty year old body moves lightly over the paths, roads and trails. We think of her and pray she has companions both young and ancient that buoy her up in the hard spots. Bless you dear as you walk towards your birthday celebration, awesome!
And Our Jennifer is off to the hospital today walking her Cancer Camino to get a scan of her insides. We are back there tomorrow for our chemo treatment and she will also get her interpretation of the scan from Dr Gold. Leading up to this meeting is the peak time of anxiety.
We will think of Our Jennifer and pray for strength for her to face the facts as they come in to her. We will think and pray that she will keep the big picture in mind as much as possible as she moves across this strange landscape. We think and pray that the realization that Saints and Angels are walking with her always is always fresh in her mind. Bless you dear one.
Ah, it’s a weeping blog post today, the best kind really. Deep feelings come to the surface at these times and we let them massage our being. Always good, love, Felipe.
And I bless and pray for you, dear good man that you are.
Dana ~ all prayers and blessings are graciously accepted here. Thank you. Felipe.
The depth of your loving soul is stunning. I am touched by so much caring. How wonderful to walk the Camino at eighty. How wonderful that her spirit still longs for this. She will lift up many along the way.
Jennifer ~ kind of silly answering your comment when you are sitting in the next chemo chair. But yes, that’s our job to “lift up many among the way”. Yup, Felipe.
We will add our humble prayers just down the road for Jennifer and this Camino sister making her way to Santiago in this harvest time of year – the harvest time of her life. Praying for good health, strength and courage for all – for you too Felipe. God Bless.
Catherine ~ love your thoughts. This word isn’t maybe in use any more but they are heroines to me. Thanks, Felipe.
