The Chickadee Feeder

A FANTASTIC GIFT

Certainly one of the best cards that I have EVER received was one from a girl in our church congregation.

Inside:

She also gave me some chocolates, and knowing that I like pigs, I received an online interactive little animal.

HOW COOL IS THAT?!

(I do not have a picture of the chocolates.)

THE SUPPORT OF FRIENDS

Update:  Because of my “triple negative” breast cancer diagnosis, I will need radiation therapy even though I’ve already done chemo and mastectomy.  Radiation should start in a week or so, continuing every day till May.

Tomorrow I’m going to church, for the first time in a very long time.  This morning I began to be worried about remembering who sent me a card (that I might thank them when we meet), but then I realized that every single family sent me a card or a gift or a meal.  Everyone.

Isn’t.  That.  Amazing.

And how incredibly encouraging, overwhelming, and encouraging that is, too.

I’ve kept every card. 

The WORDS on the outside & inside are what counts.  Things like:

*  Thinking of you and lifting you up to our loving Father.
*  I think about you a lot.
*  Hugs.
*  I am sitting here thinking of you today.
*  Your testimony of peace and trust in Our Loving Savior is a blessing to all of us.
*  I know God is with you every step of your cancer journey.
*  “I will not forget you.  Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.” 
       ~Isaiah 49

*  You’re in my prayers. 
       You’re in my prayers.
          You’re in my prayers.

*  Thinking of you.
       Thinking of you.
          Thinking of you.
