There is nothing better than hearing the Good News that Jesus has risen and He cannot be found in His tomb. It is a frightening expereience for those who expected the dead Jesus should be laying in His tomb, but for those who knew the final outcome of the event on the First Easter morning, there is a great joy, for our Saviour, Jesus has conquered sin and death. And we too may share the blessing and power of the resurrected Christ! Hallelujah!
The message of victory in Easter gives great joy and hope to the Chan's family. Even Jed learns the event of Easter well and proclaims Jesus is alive. The family give thanks to God for their certainty to be raised with Christ despite the present suffering.
After a week of reunion with family members from Hong Kong, the Chan family was filled with joy and excitment, at least for Anita and Jed. Although, Reg could not join in the family function, he was glad for their short visits.
Reg is feeling much better and has been able to move his legs a lot better. Anita even tried to get Reg out for a very short bush walk on a perfect Autumn day with Jed. Unfortunately there were lots of steps, but Reg managed well but only felt exhausted the whole night. Anita has learnt that it will take some time for Reg to really regain his muscle's strength. She will have to try something much milder. Yet it was a huge achievement for Reg since his chemo days.
The daily injection has become an ease to Anita, but Reg has noticed his loss of fat meant more pain with each injection. Yet he thanked God for the odd occasion when Anita managed to still find a good fatty spot to jab the sharp needle in. Jokingly, Reg will not dare to upset Anita in this time to seek extra pain, while Anita gaining an insight of the power of a sharp object on hand!
The family continue to praise God for this short break that they can have together before the radiation therapy. Reg will only need to see a GP with the continuation of medication post chemo, and by God's grace, the chemo side effect is subsiding and Reg's arm is also getting less pain.
