PRAISE GOD!!!!  WooHoo!!  Great news!  The doctor says everything looks good and looks forward to seeing Leslie next year.  The small spot is still on her lung but has not grown and he says everything else is clear.  Leslie felt God's love around her and Mike today.  We know that is from all of your prayers!  Thank you, thank you, thank you God for your mercy in answering our prayers!  From Sister Monica

Good Tuesday morning!  Brrrrr......it is chilly outside!  Thank you for all of the very encouraging e-mails, texts, comments and phone calls yesterday.  Meant the world to me.  I am constantly encouraged and just when I feel like it is getting to me, God seems to send an angel my way to keep me uplifted.  I was literally floored by God's perfect timing with me during the day yesterday and last night.  So if you were one of the ones that felt lead by God to keep me uplifted I want to thank you for God's prompting you to be there for me.  What an awesome God we have.  I know so many of you prayed and what a treasure that is and I know that is what kept me encouraged too. Praise our Lord for answered prayer!

Well this afternoon Mike and I take off to see my oncologist, Dr. McClay.  Thank you all so very much for your prayers for me.  I will try to get my sister Monica to leave an update for you here as soon as I am done with my appointment.  It isn't until 4:00 pacific time. 

Oh by the way.......to my sister Monica and the rest of my family......it was me, not Ryan who threw the dinner roll at the table during Thanksgiving dinner.  hahaha!  I didn't mean to hit you Monica.  I was aiming for Donald.  Way to take one for the team Ryan!  Ahhhh....love my son-in-law!  :)

Remember this is the last day to write something down that you are thankful for.  (unless you want to keep on going)  I look back at all the things I am thankful for and I know that I am truly blessed.  Please put your list somewhere that you can look at it often and be reminded of how good God is. 

Here is one of my favorite pictures at Thanksgiving......Tyler giving Nani a kiss.

Tyler turned 13 months old on Sunday.  He isn't walking yet but I know it will be soon.  He has taken a couple of steps.

Prayer requests:  For my friend Jessica Salgado and the whole Silva Family for peace and comfort over the loss of Jessica's Aunt.   Also for some married couples who are working on getting their marriages back on track.  They have asked for prayer to help them get through some of the past issues they have had to deal with.  That God will give them the strength to forgive and trust again to move forward.

1 Chronicles 16 verses 10 & 11:  Glory in his holy name; Let all rejoice who seek the Lord.  Seek the Lord; yes, seek his strength and seek his face untiringly.

Have a terrific day everyone.  Today is another gift from God and He is so Good!

Question:  Do you put up Christmas lights outside your house?  What color?
