I have a friend overseas. I met him online through my work at oDesk. I used to write articles for him for his website. He sent me this picture.
Recently, his sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. It's the kind of cancer that's very aggressive. She was due for surgery on Saturday because the chemo wasn't working. Him and his family are very distraught by all of this. He is the eldest so he feels the weight of the world on his shoulders I think.
I know the feeling, I've actually experienced it myself when Mr. T. was in an accident a few years ago. But I think God will not give you anything that you can't handle, there is a plan for everyone. So when I heard the gospel at mass last night at church "Do not let your hearts be troubled, Trust in God, trust also in me" I felt a sense of uplifting. I know things will be ok for him and his family whatever happens.
Trust in God, do not let your hearts be troubled.

A beautiful message, and you touched my heart with it today. I'm am also saddened by news of a dear family friend who recently found out she has pancreatic cancer. Her first chemo was last Friday. I'll remember your friend in my prayers. Please pray for my friend Sandy. God Bless and thanks for sharing. I'm visiting over from Debbiedoo's.
