God is good all the time--A tribute to Peggy Southard

Today is the anniversary of the passing of a dear woman and friend of our family's, Peggy Southard. She died of cancer one year ago today, and her life and love influenced many people, me included. I always marveled at how she made everyone feel like he/she was the most special person in the universe. After talking with her you felt like a million bucks. Even through every stage of her illness, she would say "God is good all the time." Amazing! In her honor, I wanted to share a neat story of one (of the many) way God has shown his love and goodness and mercy to us amidst some heartbreaking times.
I believe I shared a couple of months ago that Joseph lost his corneal reflex in his left eye through the 2nd surgery. It was a major concern b/c he wouldn't feel if anything got into his eye and it could potentially scratch his cornea and cause damage. So, I asked for prayer that God would protect that eye or eventually heal it right up. Well, since then he hasn't gotten anything in that eye. And, many people have commented on his long beautiful lashes and how many women would pay big money for them. Well, at the doctor's visit last week, Dr. Nick was trying to get his cotton swab to touch they eye to see if he had a reflex. He ended up giving up (not b/c Joe was moving, which used to be the case) because the eye lashes were too thick and he couldn't get the cotton swab through! He commented that it was a side effect of the drug he was taking, Tarceva. So, God provided protection of his eye by allowing one of the side effects of the drug to be growing extra long lashes. Have you ever heard of a drug causing eye lashes to grow longer (now, women, don't go looking for this drug---pretty sure taking it for the side effect would be a very bad idea)? I just thought that was so cool and had to share.
We miss you Peggy and love you, Southard family.
