This is the bridge between New Hope and Lambertville. I had lunch with two dear friends at Mother's Restaurant on Main Street in New Hope. It was really wonderful to see both of them and to spend time catching up on people we know. I was sad to learn that one of our friends has been going through chemotherapy. She is apparently doing well now and her lab tests say she is cancer-free. Still, she has a young daughter to whom she is very devoted. The whole event must have been terrifying. I can't imagine being faced with cancer when you have a small child to raise.
There are so many terrors out there waiting to scare us. I wonder why God didn't make us tougher.
God made us as tough as we will accept. He lives in each of us. he is always with us no matter what is happening. He never left and never will. It would be so wonderful if when faced with terror and hardship we could be concious of the fact that we are still ok because God is there. We find it very hard to surrender to the peace and love of God.
