The Sniffles

We are truly a sick household! Two of our kids have strep throat and the rest have colds. After wiping so many runny noses this weekend I finally came down with a cold myself. It is always nerve wracking because if I get a fever I need to go to emergency. I called the cancer clinic today and they checked with the doctor to see if I need antibiotics to help me fight it. They said I didn't but to keep them posted if I get more sick. I look forward to the day when a common cold or flu is simply my only worry!

I was out buying Kleenex today and found myself complaining in my head about my wig and longing for the day when I have my own hair. Then it dawned on me (definately Holy Spirit inspired) that I was wasting an opportunity to offer it up as a prayer! How quickly one forgets. Anyway....it was a much needed spiritual "kick in the butt"!

Pierre and I have been busy preparing for the Familia Valentine's event on February 10th. It is a classy night at the Hotel Sask. where there is a talk on marriage, the renewal of vows, a live jazz band and a silent auction. In the past we have had between 50-80 couples attend the event! We had our committee meeting on Saturday night and are very excited about it. Pierre and I will be speaking at this year's event. I have my chemo on the Friday before the event and so thank goodness the next day I feel really good. Pierre and I are going to write two talks though- one that both of us would give, and another that only he would give. This way we are prepared either way!


We would love for all of you to join us at the event as it is truly a date night and a wonderful way to celebrate Valentine's day! Please give us a call if you are interested or have any questions. Our number is: 584-4140

Thanks again for all your prayers and support.
