I had ...Hi Sherry, just started reading your blog. I had colon cancer 3 years ago, and breast cancer the year after that. I like what you said about God not giving you cancer, but allowing it to happen. I feel the same way. I was amazed to discover just how blessed I truly am. The closeness I felt to God while going through treatment was also amazing. I used to talk with Him and read the Bible while awake in the middle of the night on my steroid buzz. I sometimes miss those late night God times. I continue to praise and thank Him daily, and am trying not to lose that closeness as my life gets busier. Anyway, just wanted to let you know I enjoy your writing and will be following along.<br />TinaTinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08864571026423172443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8352592686293281247.post-48835459920723297202011-12-29T22:45:10.875-06:002011-12-29T22:45:10.875-06:00Hi Sheri - I don't know if you remember waaaaa...Hi Sheri - I don't know if you remember waaaaay back I told you about a close friend of ours from North Branch who has been living with a colostomy for over 40 years. It just so happens that he is a very committed Christian, and always sends a Christ-centered Christmas letter - and this Christmas was another good one! I am including my favorite part to share with you. "God often uses little children to teach us solid Christ-like messages. One of the latest for me was at the graduation celebration of our nephew's daughter. Our son-in-law lined up two of our youngest granddaughters in the backyard to race one another. He did the traditional Ready, Set - Go. On Go, THEY REACHED OUT AND TOOK ONE ANOTHER'S HAND and to my surprise, THEY RAN THE RACE TOGETHER HAND IN HAND. How can we lose in this challenging race we all endure if our family, friends, neighbors and loved ones do likewise? Sadly, as we mature in our pride and self-serving nature, we fail loved ones, ourselves and God. It's never too late, there is hope and we can humbly readjust. Take His hand and the hand of someone close - or someone far away - and we will share at the goal line, everlasting rewards." . . . Brad Whipps, 2011<br /> God's blessings and peace to you, Sheri - and to Eric, and the kids! <br /> Sending our love, Missy & DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8352592686293281247.post-47754585643908926842011-12-29T21:21:58.522-06:002011-12-29T21:21:58.522-06:00Sheri, I just wanted you to know that the things ...Sheri, I just wanted you to know that the things that have happened in your life have really affected me. I have been more aware of the blessings God has given to me. The little things in life really matter. I find that I see God everyday, just lookiing out my door. I have been closer to God in the past two years than I have ever been. I find myself talking to Him all the time. I pray for my family every day. I so appreciate your Blog!!! Thank you for revealing your feelings. I feel I really know you and I am so happy that I do. I love you so much! MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
