For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: . . .Well, friends, it's time to party!
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance (Ecclesiastes 3.1, 4).
It looks like I am in the clear ("cancer-free," "in remission," take your pick), at least for now. I am on an every-three-month checkup schedule for the next two years. But the doctors are very pleased with where I am. So let's celebrate!
From Kimberly's Facebook invitation:
For all our family and friends who have prayed for us, cried with us, and ministered to us in innumerable ways - please come to our open house and give God the glory for what HE has done! Since not everyone is on facebook, spread the word! Hope to see you there. :-)The party will be at our house on Friday, April 3, from 5pm-8pm. It's an open house, so just drop by whenever you can. If you have a Facebook account and are planning to come, please mark "Attending" on the Event page. If you don't have a Facebook account and are planning to come, please post a comment on this blog post. Doing one or the other will help us in our planning.
Your prayers, cards, and love over the past nine months have been an incredible gift to me and my family. And the gift of your presence is the only one that I'd like at my party. Just wanted to make that clear. =)
Hear this, O [friends];
stop and consider the wondrous works of God (Job 37.14).

Praise the Lord, Matt! Would love to be at your party, but we'll be out of town that night.

Praise the Lord! We are rejoicing with you! We'd be there if we could, but we'll just have to celebrate in CA.

Matthew, Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised! Emily and I would love to stop by, but I may have an away golf match with HPCS. If I can get back in time, I will certainly check in.
Chris

Wish I could be there. Praise God for His power over the body and soul. I'm very glad to hear you're cancer-free.

I plan to attend, probably toward the beginning.

We will be there like white on rice, or like tan on Korean. =)
Matthew, We plan to drop by sometime. We'll have the kids with us if that is okay!
Matt,
Just heard the news of your cancer and am praising God for His mercy in your life. Thanks for demonstrating that His lovingkindness is better than life. Paula and my prayers will continue for you.
Grace & Peace
Jason & Paula Ehmann
