That Thing Called Cancer

After removal of a lung lobe, medical complications and months of chemotherapy,  I recently began returning to the life activities I enjoyed  before that fateful  "you've got cancer" phone call.   This re-entry road has not been as smooth as I thought it would be though.  There are new and unique challenges I was not expecting.  God's provision was so great during my long year of recovery that I found myself feeling guilty recently when, at times, I seemed to not 'have it all together'.  Hijacked by a a flood of emotions, there have been days in which I have felt as if I were sinking fast.    50 DAYS OF HOPE came into my hands a few weeks ago though and it has helped so much!

This book gets down to ground zero-where all the grief, anxiety, fear and anger linger.  It helps bring the struggler to the only true source of HOPE.  Full of Scriptures, stories and insights, Lyn Eib's book points to Christ, HIS personal promises to us, and aides in making the right choices in thought patterns and attitudes. 

Have you or a loved one recently been diagnosed with cancer?  50 DAYS OF HOPE is a book you need!

Are you a cancer survivor who is finding your way from a life of anxiety and  fear to one full of thanksgiving and joy?  50 Days OF HOPE will help you get there!

That thing called cancer will not rob me of the peace and joy God intends for my life!!!
Another one of God's loving provisions has come to me in the form of 50 DAYS OF HOPE.
As usual HIS timing is perfect!

Love: It's Never Too Late to Learn!

Good surprises come in the most unexpected forms!  One delightful one was the little book, LIFE PROMISES FOR COUPLES by Gary Chapman.  When I first saw it I thought there would be nothing new for a couple who have been married for a lifetime.  But it has been a tender twig that has blossomed with new and beautiful growths to enrich our marriage.  My husband reads it aloud for us each night and it has become a time we both look forward to!

The Promise page offers us God's Truths for the marriage relationship and the Devotion page opposite draws a picture in word form of how we should apply those Truths.  As the book so aptly puts it:

Too many couples view the wedding as the finish line of their relationship.  They work and work to make it to their wedding day, and then they sit back and wait for 'happily ever after' to begin.

A good marriage does not happen on it's own but requires a continual pursuit of the true meaning of love.  That word has become meaningless in the sad forms it is tossed around in throughout our world today.  It is vital for a married couple to understand God's true meaning of the word and practice it wholeheartedly in their covenant relationship.  This little gem of a book is an excellent tool to help with this!

Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.  (Timothy 4:12)
