my mom, Sue
Good morning!! It’s going to be a great day! 🙂
Yesterday, while my coffee was brewing, I was opening up the mail and came across a pretty big envelope from the American Lung Association. It was filled with Christmas cards, notepads, and gift tags that immdeiately filled my heart with hope.
Hope because of Jesus, and His significance for the season, but also the hope that one day a cure will be discovered for all people afflicted with lung disease and lung cancers.
You see, it wasn’t a big surprise that I received mail from the American Lung Association. I have donated several times in memory of my mom, Sue, who died way too young from lung cancer. My hope and prayer is that one day no one will struggle to breathe or hear the dreaded news that their cancer is terminal.
While looking through and reading the cards, one quote and the beautiful image on it really spoke to my heart:
So today, I continue to hope. Hope for a cure for these dreaded diseases, and know that I can place all my trust and hope in God:
What are you hoping for today? Where is God showing you He is at work and has a plan for you? I’d love to hear from you! 🙂
All the Glory to God,
Shanon

Amen Shanon! I am hoping He will heal me from Celiac someday. I know He can at anytime, but may His will be done in whatever plan He has for me. God bless you!

I believe science has come so far in the days of technology.I know it has for treatment of so many illnesses including cancer. We were so young when she died…There was no way to understand how that was to impact our lives. I wish I had done what God asked of me. I didn’t draw closer…I was young,angry and lost.(I am not say we all weren’t I can only speak for myself) I am so glad God doesn’t leave us…Healing takes time and love.

We were young, you were 17. God was and is with you. All of who you are, past and present, can be used by God when you surrender all to Him and allow Him to change you!
You’re not the same person. You are a child of God. Love you sweet sister! ❤
