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.

Awww . . . that is so cool! And it reminds me to remember others, too, who can use the encouragement!

My old Xanga account is so rusty I don’t even know what’s in it! The photo is from 2008 or so, maybe?

What an encouragement! Sometimes church families can be the least aware of what is going on. I am so glad yours cares.
