My mother in law, Lil, was diagnosed with cancer of the uterus in 1958. She went through radiation & was told she'd have no more children. Radiation in the 50's, can you imagine?
In 1984, she was diagnosed with colon cancer.
In 1997, she began and continues to have multiple basal cell carcinomas removed from her skin.
In 2004, she was diagnosed with cancer in soft tissue of her abdomen. She went through surgery & chemo. She has been doing great with the exception of some residual effects from the chemotherapy.
My husband found out this week, that cancer has returned. She will begin chemo next week.....once again.
I would covet your prayers for her as she begins this journey, again. She has fought & conquered this nasty ole disease before and I pray she has the strength to win over it again.
She doesn't know I have a blog.
She doesn't even know what a blog is. However, if you feel led to leave a comment & let her know she was in your thoughts or prayers, if you would please also let me know which state you are from. I would love to print these out & give them to her next week before she goes to the hospital. I know it would touch her heart & lift her spirits.
Thank you my friends....
Paige, She and you whole family will be in our prayers. I pray that the lord wraps her in His glory and strength.

Wow! What a strong woman! I will be praying for her and she continues on this journey - to give her strength, courage and the peace that truly passes all understanding. I hope she is reminded (as well as you and your family) that God holds her in the palm of his hand.
ReplyDeletePaige,
ReplyDeleteTears are certainly rolling down my face as I know how hard this journey can be for the whole family. My Grandfather passed from cancer in 2000 so this certainly holds a very special place in my heart. She will certainly be in my thoughts and prayers. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." God is certainly with her and your whole family. SHE CAN DO IT!!!!! Hugs for her and your family! Know that I will be praying!
Blessings, Blessings, Blessings!

Paige, I found your blog through the 3 Peanuts Blog. I am from North Carolina and I can tell you are a great Christian mom and have such a sweet spirit. You inspire me to be a better person and friend each time I read your post. You can put thoughts into words so beautifully. By the way, I love your choice of music. I will pray for your Mother-in -law. So sorry she is having to battle this disease again! At church today, we had a powerful sermon on Prayer, which I truly believe in. Please let her know that I am praying for her....even though I don't even know her.
