Love Never Fails

Love Never Fails

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13:8-13

Irene’s nausea loomed large all day and her fatigue was also relentless.  She is grateful, however, that it wasn’t a dialysis day.

With Irene in remission status and passing the one year mark of the stem cell transplant, we were discussing the three most significant and remaining physical challenges; dialysis three days a week, extreme nausea and fatigue.  And, depending on the day of the week, any one of those three could be the greatest challenge.

We believe, however, that God is faithful and that He is love.  His thoughts are ever before us and He will never leave us nor forsake us.  We have GRATEFUL hearts for remarkable blessings that are as measureless as the sand at the sea.

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!

Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand.

Psalm 139:17-18

The three remaining challenges don’t outweigh His consistent presence in our midst.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13

Well WIshes From Carin Sutton

Hi Dias Family,

I am glad to hear all is well with Irene’s last appointment and like I told Joci, the jewelry comment is so her mother and I love it!

As I put in the subject line Thinking of the Dias Family which is what I do everyday when I get an update from this blog I have been following (along with Irene’s) and thought it might be something you would enjoy reading — it’s by a mom who I have been purchasing baby items from since Lilie was around 3 years old.  She recently lost a baby during her pregnancy for no known reason, at 37 weeks and then had a still birth.  Much of what she says about understanding and putting trust in God is similar to your web site.  I loved the posting she has now of the the YouTube Video and thought you might enjoy it too.

Take care,
Carin Sutton

Well Wishes From Cheryl Peterson

Hi Dave and Irene,

I’m so happy to hear about your day at UCSF and the things you learned there.  What a touching blog tonight.

Irene, you are such a classy, faithful woman that we can all learn so much from you.  I check on your site almost every day to see how things are and I say a prayer every time I check in so I feel like we connect in spirit much more than in word.  Dave, thank you for being the most faithful updater and husband.

Cheryl
