Resources
I want to share a few resources I have come across. Three have been given to me; one my Mother-in-law and I discovered the other weekend.
--The first is a book that was given to me on the day of my re-incisional biopsy and node biopsy: Jesus Calling, Enjoying Peace in His Presence, by Sarah Young, Integrity Publishers, 2004. This book is a collection of short, extremely readable thoughts shared from the author's journaling and meditation as she read scripture. Many days, this book has held a message I needed, just for that day. Scriptures are included at the end of each entry. I think it is just excellent!
--One day, the girls and I were sitting around the house when the doorbell rang. It was a delivery person with a wonderful gift from Mark's Aunt (I claim her, too!). Put together by an organization called Choose Hope Inc., the basket was one of several items such as clothing, jewelry, mugs, etc. Part of the proceeds go to cancer research. You can find them at www.choosehope.com
--Another gift from our Aunt is a book entitled Praying Through Cancer, Set Your Heart Free from Fear, a 90 day devotional for Women, by Susan Sorenson and Laura Geist, W Publishing Group, 2006. This book is exactly what the title says it is, and again, has held some timely messages for my day. (The key to the "90 days" is that this is the typical time frame of treatment.)
--Last but not least, when my mother-n-law and I were shopping on the square in downtown Denton, we came across some Cancer Care Cards. The one I loved was of an essentially bald little figure with the scripture, "The very hairs of your head are all numbered," Matthew 10:30. The irony of it made me laugh out loud, and anything that makes me laugh gets "two thumbs up!" They list the following website on the back of the cards: www.cancercarecards.com Again, a portion of the card sales goes to the fight against breast cancer.
These resources have all been a blessing to me. I hope they are to you, or to someone you are looking to bless, too.
