I was touched by your courage and hope. You and your family are in my prayers. <br /><br />God is sufficient for every need. This quote from Henry Van Dyke has always filled me with comfort. I hope it will do the same for you and your family.<br /><br /> <br />“I am standing upon the seashore.<br />A ship at my side spreads her white<br />sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. <br /><br />She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other. Then, someone at my side says; "There, she is gone!"<br /><br />And just at the moment when someone<br />at my side says, "There, she is gone!" there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad<br />shout; "Here she comes!"<br /><br />And that is dying.”<br /> <br />Henry Van DykeSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09196766580432566317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749794883933277205.post-408920804749627292011-07-12T02:37:08.208-06:002011-07-12T02:37:08.208-06:00Amy,

I too was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in July 2008. I have had chemo and radiation treatments. During that time I prayed daily and felt God's presence along with His loving arms wrapped around me giving me the peace and strength to make it through. <br />I will continue to pray for you Amy, that God gives you peace.<br /><br />A Message of Comfort...<br />Each of us is given<br />Precious time to spend on earth,<br />But we know the journey leads<br />To a home of greater worth.<br />Sometimes the Father takes us<br />Down a path not of our choice,<br />But when it leads to Heaven,<br />Oh how our hearts and souls rejoice!<br />And earthly cares all vanish<br />When at last we hear God say,<br /><br />"Welcome Home, My precious child,<br />I led you all the way."<br /><br />My heart cries out for you Amy, yet at the same time it comforts me to know that soon you will be Home with our Heavenly Father singing, dancing and rejoicing. Free of sickness and pain. <br />My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.<br />With Love in Christ, <br />CarrieCarrienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749794883933277205.post-83536705980185581002011-07-10T19:50:45.073-06:002011-07-10T19:50:45.073-06:00May God be with you and keep you in his arms of me...May God be with you and keep you in his arms of mercy...Our prayers go out to you...Love in Christ<br />SherryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749794883933277205.post-17472053775132098232011-07-10T15:49:48.076-06:002011-07-10T15:49:48.076-06:00Is there a way to contact privately?
