    Hollyann,

    I will sit with you , together we can pray and count our blessings.

    The fear is always there isn't it sitting in the back of our minds until we have a weaker moment and it jumps forward to take over all our thoughts.

    I had a good report with my bc surgeon on friday so why is it I am grumpy and mean to my family at the moment?  Is it just that they don't understand like my friends here and for them it is all better and life goes on?

    Big Hugs to all

    Viv

    Vivvy glad tohear such good news!... Unfortunately yes for them it is all better and life goes on.......I don't think they will ever understand and I hope they never do.........If they ever understand it means they are where we are and I would not wish that on my worst enemy.........((((Vivvy))))))

    Dear Lord, watch over my sisters and brothers as they go about their daily lives.......Comfort them when they need it and show them the way to Your Light ........Please send us the cure for breast cancer and all other cancers.........I know You need our sisters to help You in some way, dear Lord, and we will miss those who have gone before.........Lord we love You an dtrust You to do what is best for us.....In Jesus' Name, Amen

    i just got home from volunteering at our Library

    and noticed that the jade plant on our patio had blossomed

    suddenly while I was gone...the flowers are soooo teeny, tiny

    you can hardly see them...they are soooo beautiful

    Foots,

    I am strong today so it would be my honour and pleasure to spend time with you around the campfire.  Let me assure you friend you will not need to do anything but sit, rest and keep me company during the watch.  It is cold and rainy here so imagine you are sitting with me here.

    Keep strong and have courage...you just have to keep fighting

    With much love & hugs

    Let's all go over to Debbie's (Foots) and help her out.  I think she would like a huge prayer circle around her so she can feel our strength and our love.  She is feeling weak right now.

    In our prayer circle, we can lift up Holly, Spar, Lisa, Viv and all the others that are on here.  We can prayer for strength, comfort and healing.  Let all feel the love we have to share.

    After our prayers, we can share coffee or tea, cookies, fruit and put on the logs of love and friendship.

    Dear Heavenly Father:  Thank you for all Your help.  You know what we need.  Amen

    Lisa:  I love the pictures you post.  Such beauty.

    I like to join the circle tonight.  I would also like to hold hands in our large circle to lift Debbie (Foots) up to the Lord.  She will be going to her cancer Asst on the 5th.  Debbie would like for her to be able to do something.

    Dear Heavenly Father:  In our circle of friends, I would like to lift Debbie up to You.  You know all her needs.  Please meet them.  As we are lifting up Debbie, we also lift up so many others to You.  We are all friends on this thread.  We all have this beast, cancer, that we are dealing with or have dealt with it.  We have so many side effects that we don't understand.  We are not even sure that anyone understands the depth of all these SEs. Our bodies have been invaded in so many ways.  Like Spar said, please help everyone to have a good night's sleep without pain or itching.Please wrap Your loving arms around us so we feel Your calmness.  We leave our burdens at the foot of Your cross.  Help us to remember, You are in control and let You completely have them and not take them back up tomorrow.

    Thank You, dear Lord.  I humbly ask for all this in the Name of Jesus.  Amen

    I'm bringing snickerdoodles to share.  I also have more logs of friendship, hope and love.

    Debbie
