What cancer and sickness cannot do......
It cannot cripple LOVE,
It cannot shatter HOPE,
It cannot corrode FAITH
It cannot destroy PEACE
It cannot kill FRIENDSHIP
It cannot suppress MEMORIES
It cannot silence COURAGE
It cannot invade THE SOUL
It cannot conquer THE SPIRIT
It cannot steal ETERNAL LIFE

I was swinging very low until I read this in my doctor's office. I needed it!
All has been going well it's just that I had not looking at the glass being 3/4 full. I was bound up in the 1/4 empty (so I was thinking) but after reading the above 10 times, life is good!
About Me
- Leighton "Pops" Railsback
- Life brings joys and challenges, so let's look at the "Joys." (and skip "me") You're blessed if you have a wonderful lifemate, (in my case that reads "wife"), children, grandchildren and wonderful friends. I have it all. My belief is that if you have your life, and faith, in order you are ready to handle what comes your way. I attempt to maintain order in my life in the following priorities. Faith, Family, Finances, Friends and Fun. Take care of the first four and you can stick Fun in anywhere.
Dear friend, there have got to be those down days, and don't beat up on yourself when they happen. I loved the affirmation you found and shared from the Senior Times, Montreal. We could substitute any problem we have, and the words would still be true.
ReplyDeleteWe are not "people without hope" when we have faith, family and friends. You have all three in abundance, so be of "good cheer" this Christmas despite that damn cancer.
Yeah, I can hear you thinking, "Easy for you to say, but you are not in my shoes." True, but I remember telling our oldest son, Paul, when he was ill that hope is cheap and is always a good response to difficulty.
My prayer for you both, Leighton and Lynda: To have a joyous, peaceful Christmas and to receive a sleigh full of hope.
Love, Grace
