Month: August 2023

I shared this back in 2020 when I had the first cancer. I’m sharing it again!

A short update. I will be starting chemo in a few weeks and then radiation. I had surgery earlier this month to remove the cancer and am healing nicely! I feel great actually. I am completely at peace and so enjoying the nearness of the Lord right now. He is my peace. All is well!

This is why we need to throw the looking glass away! When you walk through this life, make it a practice to ‘see’ people. Look into their eyes and smile, say a kind word, acknowledge them!
