Time spent with Maw Maw is time well spent

For the past month we have been spending as much time as we can with Maw Maw (practically living with her) and enjoying every moment. Not many people could say they would choose to live with their mother in law but that's not the case with me. God gave me a mother in law who happens to be my best friend. After receiving the news about her cancer spreading and just not really knowing what the coming days will hold....we are holding each other. Please continue to pray for her. God has been so faithful and I trust that He will continue. We can stand on His promises and cling to them in the very darkest of times.

A friend shared a scripture with me today that ministered greatly...
2 Corinthians 5:1-5 "For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come."
I sense that Maw Maw is groaning, so weary from this struggle but she has this hope to hold onto. And through it all, that peace that surpasses understanding continues to guard our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
