Victory

We're feeling pretty victorious in the Stewart household this weekend. Cade's Cal Bears surged to a 2nd place win in last night's 1st/2nd grade Friday Night Lights flag football championship. It was a fun night for our whole family, and we're so glad that Daddy was feeling up to joining in. Though we are worn out by the past few weeks, we know that cancer can never defeat us in what really matters. A family friend sent us a poem the other day that describes my thoughts entirely:

Cancer is so limited.
It cannot cripple love, it cannot shatter hope.
It cannot corrode faith, it cannot eat away peace.

It cannot destroy confidence, it cannot kill friendship.
It cannot shut out memories, it cannot silence courage.

It cannot invade the soul, it cannot reduce eternal life.
It cannot quench the spirit.
It cannot lessen the power of the Resurrection.

Can cancer conquer you?

I doubt it, for the strengths I see in you
Have nothing to do with cells, blood and muscle.
