    O Father, Thank You for teaching us how to follow

    Your ways. Learning one thing, Lord. Yet the more

    we walk with You, the more trust in You grows. When

    we face obstacles and discomforts, We are thankful

    for Your presence. Remember a few months ago we

    went to the ocean, Something unpleasant was hurting

    our souls. That day went on and we were walking along

    the ocean shore, We thought the fresh salty air would

    help.  Hurting we stopped and felt the discomfort go away,

    You are carrying us threw every situation we face with

    our weakness and health. Thank You Lord for being our

    support and peace, as we face situations that we feel

    so scared and tired. You are always there. Thank You

    for being with and comforting, Genia, Jo, Patoo, Spar,

    armywifenmommy, kbugmom, sue_blue, Patty, Mary,

    deborye, mmm5, kmccraw423, Jane, Makaz, and others here

    that need You to help them through and see Your caring

    hands reaching out to us, We love You Lord and thank You

    for helping us each day. In Jesus name we pray. Amen

    The Lord himself watches over you!

    The Lord stands beside you as your protective

    shade.

    The sun will not hurt you by day,

    nor the moon by night.

    The Lord keeps you from all evil

    and preserves your life.

    The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go,

    both now and forever. (Psalms 121:5-8)

    Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory He

    will give us later. For all creation is waiting eagerly for  that

    future day when God will reveal who His children really are.(Romans 8:18-19)

    The Lord is my light and my salvation---

    so why should I be afraid?

    The Lord protects me from danger---

    so why should I tremble?( Psalm 27:1)

    Lord Jesus, Two little words we often hear You tell

    us are ringing in our ears; "Trust Me." It's easy to

    say were going to trust You. When we pressed to

    put our words into action, it's a whole different story.

    Trust? Be confident? Rely? Wait? This is difficult for

    us sometimes. We can't fight this cancer on our own,

    Lord, Please help us to pray more and how to walk with

    You.  You told us everything works out for the good when

    we put our trust in You, Lord.  Thank You for helping us

    realize You have a much better picture of timing then we

    do. You, dear Lord are our comfort and shield. Because

    Your love rests upon us, our hearts rejoice. Thank You

    for being with: Genia, Jo, Patoo, armywifenmom, Mary,

    mmm5, Spar, kbugmom, sue_blue, Deborye, Patty,

    kmccraw423, Jane, Makaz, and those wonderful people

    here that need Your guiding hand at this time. You are our

    Lord, Our God. All circumstances, all timing, We place in

    Your hands. Thank You Father, In Your name we pray. Amen

    We are so grateful for Thy presence in our lives and for Your Word to show us the way.  We thank You for the strength and courage You grant us even in times of great despair.  We seek Thy solace and comforting arms when we hurt as any child would reach for his/her Father when the pain becomes overwhelming.  We pray that Thy healing hand will touch Foot's body and ease her pain.  We pray that Thou will be with Genia, Jo, Patoo, armywifenmomy, seaotter, sue_blue, kbugmom, Spar, Ivorymom, Mary, mmm5, Jane, Deborye, Patty Makaz, Selya and all your children that seek understanding and comfort.  We are grateful that Thou has touched our hearts so that we may reach out to Your daughters in need and accept their help in our own lives.  All the times that we have ignored Your teachings to go the way of the world, thank You for keeping us close and reminding us that eternal salvation is the goal.  Our peace and comfort lay only in Your arms and oly there will we find peace and solace.  Calm our fears and quiet our minds that we might hear Thee.  Our love in You, Heavenly Father, is true and steadfast as we pray for all our sisters.  We say these things in the name of They Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, Amen.

    Tomorrow, on this holiday for giving thanks, I would like to thank each of you for your prayers, good wishes and love.  I am very thankful I found you and through your encouragement and support I will find my way back to God.  If any good can come from breast cancer, it is right here among my sisters.  Without bc, I would have never known you and that saddens me greatly.  What I would have missed.  I am so grateful to the Lord for bringing each of you into my life.  Thank You and I love you.

    O Father, Thank You for never leaving us alone.

    No matter where we are or  what circumstances

    we face, We are confident You are with us.

    Helping, guiding us every step of the way. Each

    time opposition comes, prompt us to face it with

    out fear and trust You to work things out.

    Some frustrating situations happen around us.

    But others occur within our hearts. More then

    anything we are learning to trust You, Father.

     How grateful we are that whatever problem

    we have, Lord, You remind us how much You

    love and care for us. When we face danger,

    You are our guardian. When the tempter is

    hammering at our hearts door, You deflect

    his firey darts. When we are ill, You fight  for

    us to regain our health. Help our dear friends,

    Kbugmum, Genia, Jo, Selya, armywifenmommy,

    kmccraw423, Mary,Patty,  ivorymom, spar,

    Defender. We will trust in You, Let us feel the comforting

    arm and touch the hem of Your garments, Lord, let us hold

    the threads in our fingers. Help us to tie a knot in the strands

    and never let go.

    Come to Me, You who are heavy laden. You are My dear child.

    Know for certain, there are no troubles you face that others have

    not gone through before you. I will take these things  and make

    way of escape for you. Take My yoke, place it on your shoulders.

    It will not make your load heavier. I am helping you carry it so your

    burden will become lighter and easier. Rest upon My everlasting arms,

    for they are there for you all the time. Here is the hem of My garment.

    Touch it, Feel My presence. In your weakness, know My strength and 

    healing.

    Thank You, Lord Jesus, for the hem of Your garment and Your loving

    touch.  Please be with and touch with Your caring hand Your special
