This week we asked our patients and caretakers to share their reasons for giving thanks.
Linda McKee-Cervantes, caregiver & Manuel Cervantes, cancer patient:
I am so thankful for my husband’s life and am so proud to be his caregiver. I praise God for each day we remain together on this earth. We will never surrender to this cancer and I believe Almighty God is graciously giving us more time to share His Divine love with others.
Jodi Hightower, Breast Cancer Stage IV patient:
I am thankful for the opportunity that having cancer has given me to reconnect with family, friends, and high school classmates. I’ve been able to share the gospel message through my CaringBridge blog.
Darlene Lindgard:
I am thankful to the Lord that I am still in remission, but much more importantly, I am thankful that the Lord still holds me in His grip. I love You, Lord, more and more each day.
The Tommy Lane Lowry Family, Waco, Texas:
We are thankful for the courageous battle of Tommy Lowry against lung cancer and the beautiful smile on his face as he was met by our Savior. That smile and the knowledge that He really is waiting for us has sustained this family.
Peggy Hadricky – Uterine Stage II:
There is too much to give thanks for. I thank our God that I found your website when I cried out, and you reached out your heart and hand to me. The devotional Streams in the Desert is a constant companion to me. I am thankful that God has increased my days. His promise that I would see His goodness in the land of the living is all around. For this I know the life I am living is for His Glory – I now know my purpose. And when He takes me home I have His peace that He knows me. I am living a thankful life through His grace and mercy one day at a time.
Bobby Martin, Stage IV metastatic melanoma:
I am thankful for the opportunity of a deeper walk… for family that prays… friends that support… the assurance that God’s word is true… the certainty of His promises… knowing His presence… the continued favor He gives me with men… and my new friend Joe Fornear. Praise be to God. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Lord, there are always so many reasons to be grateful! Help us to count our blessings – always.
