Graduation Day
Twenty-eight treatments finished. The first phase of our battle against this cancer is over. As yet we do not know the effectiveness of these treatments and there is surgery and follw on chemotherapy to come in the future. Never the less, this is a kind of graduation day. No more daily poison. No more morning routine of irradiation. Now is the time to retreat to our beloved cottage on Lake Louise for a few days and share what I call prayer and pancakes.
Not preaching this Sunday but still curious as to the lectionary I discovered that Song of Solomon 2:8-13 makes a rare appearance in the cycle of readings. Could any scripture be more appropriate?
"Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away; for now the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come...Arise my love, my fair one, and come away."
