Chemo stinks, but there will be joy...someday

I shared these quotes with Melody yesterday to encourage her through her chemo. Thought they were fitting and was encouraged myself...hopefully they will encourage you too...

"Joy comes in the morning. Joanna discovered this in a miraculous way on Jesus' resurrection day. She went to his tomb expecting to minister to his dead body and to grieve. Instead, her sorrow turned to tremendous joy. Our joy may not come this morning or tomorrow morning or even the morning after that. We face too many hardships, too many difficult situations, too much sorrow here on earth to think joy will arrive with each morning. But it will come. God has promised: there will be a joyful morning for all who trust in him." --Jean Syswerda and Ann Spangler

"God loves us so lavishly and outlandishly that our blessings in life are too numerous to count--if we have eyes to see. But no human being, be she eight or eighty, has only good days. The good news is that the most incredible best that is yet to come is beyond even our incredible imagination!"--Marilyn Meberg

"For every single thing that has happened in our lives, we can learn to say with confidence, even with joy, 'Not my will, but yours be done.' This means saying yes to the happy and beautiful gifts, but also to the child you lost, the husband who never showed up, the breast cancer, the lost opportunities, the broken dreams, the endless list of human suffering. I do embrace the mystery that, in the darkest valleys the Light of the world is with us, and we will come to know him, to love and trust him, in ways we never have before."--Sheila Walsh
