Sheila's on the left picture taken three weeks ago...


Sheila's  situation has sadly worsened.

She has now been told because of futher tests that the cancer has spread further to her liver and spine.

She is currently recieving radiation on her hip and leg and when she is finished this week thay are then going to give her chemo again.

She has now accepted that she needs to remain positive, and all our family are behind her 100%

You left me fabulous posts  i was so moved and grateful.

I want to ask you all a big favour NOT FOR ME BUT SHEILA...

I AM MAKING HER A SCRAPBOOK OF HOPE

In it i am putting everything i can find with words of hope and encouragement.

I would love you all to help me by maybe leaving posts to Sheila here...

Anything that will make her feel cared about and stronger.

MESSAGES POEMS ENCOURAGEMENT ETC

So i can include them in the book

Please post to Sheila

I thank all who read this post and respond with post or prayer.

BIG HUGS

Sheila, honey, I am so sorry for the suffering you are going through.

It isn't fair or just or right.

It just is.

It isn't anyone's fault.  Least of all yours.

It just is. 

It doesn't mean that God has forsaken you.

He hasn't.

It just is.


From what your loving niece has shared with us you are a shining example of grace and dignity.

I pray your suffering will be bearable and that you will be strengthened and sustained by your faith, your family and all of our prayers.


You are in my prayers,

dilu

Just know that we serve a God who not only is great, but He is good.  Great because He can do all things.  He can heal.  Good because He loves you and He will touch you.  "....by whose stripes ye were healed."  I Peter 2:24

Dear Sheila,

To laugh often and much,
to win the respect of itelligent people
and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honets critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends.
To appreciate beauty;
to find the best in others,
to leave the world a bit better
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch or
a social condition;
to know that one life has breathed easier
becuase you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.

That it will never come again
is what makes life so sweet.

God bless you Sheila. Trust you are in His care. bear_wub  :hug:

"MY CLIMB"

When I said I had enough,
And things were getting far too tough.
I told the Lord I can't go on,
He said, my child, you must be strong.

Then I told him I needed a rest,
He said, my dear, this is only a test.
Don't give up, please don't give in,
And I promise you will win.

When others are struggling to climb the hill,
I need you to tell them, that this is my will.
And when they have completed their climb,
This I promise, they too will shine.

So-don't give up in times of despair,
I'll only give you what you can bare.
I'll be with you on that road,
I'll be happy to share your load.


" A HEAVY LOAD "

My heart was very heavy today
Then Jesus smiled, as He passed my way,
He said, "My CHILD" I'm here for you,
I will always love you, I will see you through!

I was so happy I met such a kind friend
I know He'll be with me right to the end,
My load may be heavy, the hills hard to climb,
Jesus My Savior, Was holding me all the time !

Jesus my teacher, my friend and guide
He is always with me, close by my side,
How He encourages through His love and grace,
Won't it be lovely, seeing, His beautiful face.

So we'll rest in God amidst' life trials
For God understand, He is our best friend,
Give it over to Jesus, He will calm the storm,
He will wrap you in love and stay until the end.


"JESUS MY BURDEN BEARER"

When burdens come so hard to bare
I keep my eyes on Jesus, He is always there,
He sees the hills that I must climb,
My Child, I will stay close ..at all times!

I’ve never failed you in your plan
Just hold on and take my hand,
I will see you through your hurt and pain,
That’s why I died...Its not in vain.

My Love is with you where ever you go
I’ll stay close, don’t let me go,
My Love and Grace is all you’ll need,
Just lean on me...Your heart I’ll please.

God's peace is like a river ever flowing
He keeps us daily in the hollow of His hand,
As we trust Him fully, His work to do,
We prove that our Savior is faithful and true.


"JESUS OUR ROCK OF AGES"

Jesus is the rock of ages
He is my strength, comforter, and Healer,
Some sweet day, He'll come to take me home,
He promised, we would never walk alone.

Jesus my Redeemer lives
What peace and joy each day He gives,
He is my friend who is always near,
Sheltering His children, in His tender care.

Sometimes the road is long and dreary
And the path seems oh so steep,
We cry out to God, please do help us,
Because our heart begans to weep.

Jesus is near each time we fall
He is the greatest friend of all,
He understands our hurt and fears,
With His loving hand He wipes the tears.




"Today's Thought"

God always gives enough strength for the next step.
-Life's burdens are designed not to break us, but to bend us toward God.
Jesus is right for whatever is wrong in your life.
May the riches of His love rest upon you today and always,
Just trust Him for each new day.



May God strengthen your mind day by day during your walk with HIM through this storm!!  :hug:

Much of the beauty we find in nature
Appears as the result of dramatic changes

Glaciers carved out majestic mountain ranges
Volcanoes produced breathtaking beaches and
Thunderstorms return precious moisture to the earth

Even fruit trees must sometimes be severely pruned
In order to make them stronger and more productive

So too it might be God's plan for us
to experience dramatic changes in our lives
In order to become the people He intends us to be

Sheila, if your life is being "pruned" now,
although it is painful,
it just may be God's way of making you stronger

I wish you strength to accept the challenge and
God's gentle love to guide you....

Thinking of you,
Tami

Strength To Cope

When you feel betrayed
And you're at the end of your rope
You will find comfort in Jesus
With Him you will find the strength to cope

When you're caught up in lifes struggles
And they tend to bring you down
Reach up to the Heavens
And thats where peace will be found

After every dark cloud
there is always a ray of sunshine
Our days will seem much brighter
When He becomes our daily guide

His love is like no other
it's the greatest love of all
He is always there to catch us
When we stumble and start to fall

Sheila, you sound like such a courageous and wonderful person.  I pray that you will find strength to fight this battle that lies ahead.  Know that you are never alone, and that many are praying for you.   Hugs, Tammy  :hug:

Dearest Sheila

There is a time to weep, and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance.

He alone is your rock and your salvation, your fortress. And it will not be shaken.

And he orders his angels to protect you wherever you go......

God Bless you and keep you.
