Cancer Companions…
I found an organization that helps cancer patients…
“Cancer Companion’s vision for the future is for every person impacted by cancer to know the hope, love, and grace of Jesus and that every oncology team has included faith in their treatment toolbox. By 2033, Cancer Companions will provide 5 million engagements through cancer prayers, scriptures and interactions to those impacted by cancer. Engagements include; social media outreach, e-newsletters, prayer team requests, 30 days of Cancer Prayer event, and volunteer connections.”
They have daily devotions…as well a plethora of other helps for churches, caregivers, medical personnel, family and finally, the patient…
I am sure there are others, but this one came to me…
When statistically, writers are saying that 40-50% of people are destined for a “cancer “ diagnosis, there are helps out there…some appropriate for all and some not so much….
I have already been handed two books, “ the gift of pain” or “the gift nobody wants” by Dr. Paul Brand and Philip Yancey, and “Don’t Waste Your Cancer” by John Piper…plus others from my husband’s cancer journey…poems about what Cancer Can’t Do…
Plaques of encouragement…
I loved these verses for today…
The Lord your God is with you,the Mighty Warrior who saves.He will take great delight in you;in his love he will no longer rebuke you,but will rejoice over you with singing.”
Zeph.3.17NIV
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Gal.2.20
No matter what we are going through, family crisis, death, just day-to-day living…God is right here with us…and that counts for everything…
Thank YOU…
Be still my soul….
