Courage For The Moment

My life verse is Philippians 4:13 I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHICH STRENGTHEN ME. This verse was used on our Church bulletin and Linda E Knight states "When our hearts are fixed on Jesus, no mountain seems too difficult, no challenge seems too great, no dream seems to high..because it isn't. When we keep our eyes on Jesus, we find the strength we need to keep going, to keep trying, to make it all the way..hand in hand with Him."

Hubby and I have two friends who in the past two weeks found out they have cancer. Both of them went to the hospital with very bad chest congestion. In the tests that followed cancer was found. For one it is overran cancer. As they were taking fluid off her lungs something came out that caused more tests. The cancer may have gone in to the colen. They will not be able to operate until a later date after they get all the fluid off the lungs. In the mean time they are starting kemo treatments to shrink the tumer on the ovaries. Our other friend has lymphoma cancer and they will start treatment today if He is free of all the fluid on His lungs. He has lost about 40 pounds so far.

The two of them have courage for the moment. Both have great faith in God and what every happens their eyes are on the Lord. That is courage and I pray God rewards each one with the strength to take each day with a smile and a laugh.

So sorry to hear about your friends. Sounds like they are in good spirits and that alone can help the healing process.
