Blue Is ...

Blue Is ...

The first Friday of March is dedicated to awareness about colon cancer.

One of Wayne's goals is to advocate that you need to get checked out, especially if you have a family history, or are noticing negative changes in your body ... please talk to your doctor.

People at the place where we work are wearing blue in support of colon cancer awareness, fighters, and survivors.  They are united in their support of us.  We feel so loved, and have felt that way before this "official" day too.  We received several pictures today of staff members and friends wearing blue, with great big smiles on their faces.  One set of pictures had a signed "Go Team Wayne" sign, and others with signs that said "Blue For You Dad", and "Go Mr. B.".  It is incredibly touching to see a visual representation of their support.  And, it is true, we are all a team.  We are blessed to be united with a wonderful group of people.  Thank you ...

So, on this beautiful day, even though it is cold, the sun shines brightly, and the cloudless sky is a beautiful blue.  The blue reminds me of the deep and vast blues of the ocean and sky, of which God's love for us is also vastly deep and unending.

Reflection Verses:

I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.  Genesis 9:13 NIV

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.  I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.  Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.  Ephesians 3:14-21 NIV
