Happy Easter to all my friends & family!

"Father, forgive them… For they know not what they do."

Don't miss the epic finale of The Bible Series Sunday night at 8/7c on History.

 

For God so loved the world,

that he gave his only begotten Son,

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

I am the Way the Truth and The Life.

 Fly

fly little wing

Fly beyond imagining.

The softest cloud,

the whitest dove.

Upon the wind of heaven’s love.

Past the planets and the stars,

Leave this lonely world of ours.

Escape the sorrow and the pain.

And fly again,

Fly,

fly precious one.

Your endless journey has begun,

Take your gentle happiness.

Far too beautiful for this world,

Cross over to the other shore,

There is peace forevermore.

But hold this memory bittersweet,

Until we meet once more.

Fly,

fly do not fear,

Don’t waste a breath, don’t shed a tear.

Your heart is pure, your soul is free.

Be on your way, don’t wait for me.

Above the universe you’ll climb,

On beyond the hands of time.

The moon will rise, the sun will set,

But I will not forget.

Fly, fly little wing,

Fly where only angels sing,

Fly away, the time is right.

Go now, find the light.

"Happy Birthday" from the gang goes out to our very Dear Friend Brian!  May your day be a grand one....See you later!

You Are Loved...Jennifer

 

I wish I could sit down with you today, lean across the table and let you tell me about the moments that made you laugh or the ones that brought tears, about the fears you faced and the joy you felt, about the obstacles that seemed so big and the breakthroughs you never thought could happen. All of it.

I'm glad that even though I can't be there, Someone can. And He doesn't just have to hear about it second hand. He was there. For every moment. Every smile, every frown, every victory, every let-down.

And He's still here...inviting you to tell Him all about all of it again. Until you know again that everything is going to be okay. He'll comfort you, celebrate with you, whatever you need.

 Because He loves you.
And that's what love does.

 

You're never alone. God is with you.
He knows your name.
He numbers the hairs on your head.
He understands the cares in your heart.
Every morning, He's by your side.
Every night, He watches over you as you sleep.
There's never a moment you're not in His thoughts...
never a day you're not in His care.
You're never on your own.
He whispers to your heart, "You're forever My own."

Just a little reminder...Love is with you today.

God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God. I John 4:16

Last Dr. Appt. Update:

Cancer Update: Three months ago my chemo Dr. Said that I had some nodules in the lung and that he wanted me to take steroids....I said I didn't want to at least not just now...he kind of laughed cause he knows that I will hold off on medicine until I truly need it...so he looked over at me and said "alright you call me when you want them!" Well I just came from my latest cat scan last week which was on not only the chest but they included the abdomen this time...and they said everything looked good...there was some scar tissue from the radiation...but never mentioned the nodules....hoping that is a good sign :). I had to take my 4yr old grandson with me cause he wouldn't stay at the sitters that day...which by the way he was so good and the chemo nurses loved him!!! God Bless his little heart! Any how I was told to come back in four months instead of the usual three...yeah!!! I am however not cancer free....not till five to eight years of not having to be treated is up! :) So far so good....but only by the grace of God I go with. Keeping the faith ♥

Note: Small cell lung cancers account for 20-25% of all lung cancers and are primarily diagnosed in smokers or former smokers. They differ from other types of lung cancer in that they spread very quickly throughout the body via the blood and lymphatic system. Accurate staging of small cell lung cancer is essential before definitive therapy can begin. A simple staging system is used to separate small cell lung cancer into 2 stages, referred to as limited and extensive. Limited and extensive disease are treated differently; therefore, your primary cancer doctor will perform a variety of tests to determine the stage of the disease and thus, the optimal treatment strategy. The tests will evaluate whether you have evidence of cancer in your bones, abdomen, brain and bone marrow. If these staging tests reveal no evidence of your cancer having spread outside a well-defined area in your lungs, then you will be diagnosed with limited stage small cell lung cancer. Otherwise, you will be diagnosed with extensive disease. However, it is important to understand that nearly all patients with small cell lung cancer already have cancer that has spread outside the chest, but cannot be detected with currently available diagnostic tests.

Oh yeah I forgot to put this in....I don't like statistics....guess that is why I think more positive about this disease than most...Or else I am just in denial...I am gonna stick with positive 

Prognosis:

The overall survival rate for small cell lung cancer is, sadly, only about 6%.
For limited stage small cell lung cancer, survival rates have improved since the addition of radiation therapy to treatment, and the use of PCI. The median survival rate (the time at which 50% of people have died and 50% are still alive) is 16-24 months, with a 2-year survival rate of 40-50% -- though only 10% of people with limited stage disease show no evidence of cancer 2 years after diagnosis. The survival rate at 5 years is 14% with treatment.

For extensive stage small cell lung cancer the median survival with treatment is 6 to 12 months with treatment, and only 2 to 4 months without treatment.

Factors that are associated with improved survival include female gender, and better performance status -- that is better health in general at the time of diagnosis. Continued smoking may lower survival. Since small cell lung cancer grows rapidly, and since we have come a long way with other fast-growing cancers such as leukemia, it is hoped that better treatments will be found in the future.

RIP Dear Neighbor....

To our neighbors who have suffered a loss in their family.  Mike will be sadly missed by all who knew him.  Gracie and Family know you are all in our thoughts and prayers and anything you need please do not hesitate to call upon us.  God Bless you all.

Hugs,

Mike, Linda & Family

MERRY CHRISTMAS.....

Merry Christmas Eve

The Spirit Of Christmas

I have a list of people I know. All written in a book

And every year at Christmas time I go and take a look.

And that is when I realize that those names are a part

Not of the book they're written in but of my very heart.

For each name stands for someone who has crossed my path some

time and in that meeting they've become a treasured friend of mine.

And once you've met some people the years can not erase

the memory of a pleasant word or that of a friendly face.

So when I send a Christmas card that is addressed to you

it's because you're on that list of folk I'm indebted to.

And you are one of many folk who in times past I've met

and happen to be one of those I don't want to forget.

And whether I have known you for many years or a few,

in some way you have a part in shaping things I do.

This, the spirit of Christmas, that forever and ever endures

may it leave it richest blessing in the hearts of you and yours.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Ryan...

Happy 38th Birthday Ron...Yesterday!

Happy Birthday (38th) to my son Ron...I am so glad that we got to spend some time together last night on your special day! Thank you and Jill so much...Jill makes the best cakes! You look so good and we are so very proud of you and the man you have always been! We love you so much!  I wish you Love and Peace always!

In honor of the all the children who lost their lives that fateful day at Sandy Hook Elementary School!

"Daddy please don't look so sad, Mommy please don't cry. 
Cause I'm in the arms of Jesus, and he sings me lullabies. 
Please try not to question God, don't think he is unkind. 
Don't think he sent me to you and then changed his mind. 
You see I'm a special child, I am needed up above. 
I'm the special gift you gave Him, a product of your love. 
I'll always be there with you, so watch the sky at night. 
Look for the brightest star and know that's my halo's brilliant light.
You'll see me in the morning frost that mists your window pane. 
That's me in the summer showers, I'll be dancing in the rain. 
When you feel a gentle breeze from a gentle wind that blows. 
Know that it's me planting a kiss upon your nose. 
When you see a child playing and your heart feels a tug, 
Don't be sad mommy, that's just me giving your heart a hug. 
So daddy don't looks so sad and Mommy please don't cry. 
I'm in the arms of Jesus and he sings me lullabies!

A nation mourns your loss...

I did not know your name, I never saw your face, I never got to see you smile, or get to watch you play. I never got to walk with you or watch you board the bus, I never got to kiss your head and tell you that you’re loved.

I never got to know you, we were worlds apart, But on this tragic day, you have a place in my heart. Your smile was robbed, your laughter stole away, But it is upon angel’s wings, you rest your head today.

Take peace now, innocent one, worry not yourself, For it is in the arms of a nation, your love can now be felt. We may never understand the evil, which struck your life today, But know that through remembrance, you’re never far away.

‘Tis your turn now, our little ones, To smile down from above, Kiss mommy, kiss daddy, Tell them it’s okay, and they are forever loved.

Now in peaceful rest, may you take, your place amongst the stars. Your memory never forgotten, always safe, kept in our hearts. It is with a solemn duty, to you we make this vow, To find the evil you met today, And with vengeance strike it down.

~~To the Elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut~~   

In Memory of all 27 of the innocent lives lost today at Sandy Hook.
