Pray for Kathy...

It seems everywhere I turn there are reminders of people living with cancer. Just this morning our friend Michelle asked us to pray for her best friend Kathy who is only 35. Kathy has cervical cancer and was in surgery to remove the tumors. It was a six hour procedure. I hope she recovers quickly and heals completely.

From recent, personal experience I can tell you how meaningful it is to a cancer patient to know people are praying for you. My daughter Adrianne told me I am on prayer lists at churchs full of people I don’t even know. She told them about my illness and that was that…pray for Bob.

I have always known I have family and friends that care about me; love me. I just never realized the amount of strength I could draw from their support when I needed it most. A phone call, email, get well card…it doesn’t take much to lift my spirits.

I have my own prayer list that is growing. Kathy is the newest member. I don’t know her but I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers.
