Psalm 27, which Martha calls “my cancer psalm” concludes with:
“Wait for the Lord;
Be strong, and let your heart take courage;
Wait for the Lord!”
And she continues to wait, courageously, graciously, gratefully, and usually with remarkable patience toward the challenges of the cancer and her very great weakness now. In the beginning she prayed to “be able to do this cancer thing well” and she is doing it so very well for His glory.
And all of us continue to be profoundly thankful for abounding grace and peace to our Lord Jesus and to each of you who continues to pray so faithfully for us and to send such loving messages, emails and other encouragements, like the very cheerful bouquet of flowers we discovered on the front porch Monday morning and a beautiful gerbera daisy another dayJ. We pray God’s many blessings on each of you!
In His immense love, her parents.
Continuing to hold all of you in my prayers to our loving Lord Jesus.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting today. We keep all in our prayers and thoughts. We had been wondering how Martha and the family are doing. Our love to each, in peace. Margot Dudley
You probably don't remember me from 4th Pres, but my prayers are with you guys every day. Thank you for the update. Your testimony of Martha's hope encourages my friends and me to embrace persevering hope as well. Jen Roberts Biddison
ReplyDeleteEvery morning, when I wake up ~ every day, for so many reasons ~ every night, as I lay down to sleep ~ I think of, and I pray, for Martha. Thank you so much for keeping us updated; I anxiously wait for the news of her journey Home, where she will suffer no more. You two are amazing human beings, as reflected in your truly amazing children. Much, much love to all the Depps, especially dear, sweet Martha.
