![]() ![]() Judy Scroggs & Son Ben at Judy's Benefit Concert! ..................Mom & Dad MANY MANY MOONS ago! |
Today's Update: Includes Monday & Tuesday Dear Friends Monday July 11th 4:30 p.m. (For those of you who have been to the web site www.judyscroggs.com you know my ability to send e-mails has been limited for the last 4 days. I will try to catch you up!) We are in Edmond Ok. To begin Judys 4th treatment. 2 Cor 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. NKJV This scripture speaks a lot to me today. I see it spiritually and also physically as Judy goes trough this chemo regiment, the medicine actually causes the body to perish while it is killing the tumors in her lungs. I am not yet where Pauls experience had arrived. This goes beyond a light affliction to me but I know it is just a period of time in our lives. We both believe that God ordained it and only eternity will show all the good God has gotten out of it. This has, and is working in each of our hearts a far more .weight of glory and we will never be the same in our walk with the Lord! Another area of the scripture touches a very personal part of this: Judy was so concerned about her appearance and how it was affecting me. With tears in my eyes I reassured her that our love goes so much deeper than Looking at things which are seen. For my love and I am sure hers to goes so far beyond the Temporary. In sickness and in health was not just a passing line in a ceremony 36 years ago. It was a loving promise we made to each other. Judy was tested on this when I had injured my back years ago and was almost bed fast for several months! Now it is my turn. The hormone marker that carried the cancer to Judys lungs was once over 300.000 Now it is less than a thousand: 695! Its almost gone. Which should mean the cancer is not far behind. The Doctor was in today and is in consultation with a colleague at Duke university to see if Judys treatment needs any polishing. (Using his words). We hope to go home tomorrow. After her treatment Judy gets weak and has very painful joints. I know you will pray this goes well. You will never never never know how much your prayers, e-mails, cards, letters and financial help are carrying us through. Thank you again More Good News Later Love Chuck Dear Friends Monday July 12th 10:00 a.m. This following scripture came to my mind this morning. As I Have watched the faces of the many who have cared for Judy here at Edmond Hospital, when they make special trips on their lunch hours and breaks to come from the floor they work on just to glance in at who some call The miracle Lady I get goose bumps. Now goose bumps are not a new thing they were going on thousands of years ago. I am not sure but I think Job was the first to be recorded as having them! Job 4:15 Then a spirit passed before my face; The hair on my body stood up. NKJV A holy awe and reverence of God and his majesty being struck upon his spirit, he was thereby prepared for a divine visit. Whom God intends to honor he first humbles and lays low, and will have us all to serve him with holy fear, and to rejoice with trembling. ..from Matthew Henry's Commentary The Lord reminded me again: If we will be humble and lay low in our spirit, Serve Him with a holy respect, Rejoice in our tremblings, (This take extra of Gods grace) Then we will be ready for a divine visit! And God will bestow upon us His honor. We leave The Hospital this afternoon trusting that God is taking real good care of my sweet wife. I am doing the things He cant do! We make a good team. Love to all!
