Health Update--Ring That Bell

-
It is the custom at Penrose Hospital
where I had my radiation treatments
to ring the golden bell 3 times
when your treatments are complete.

Today was the GREAT day!
The nurses and radiation techs
who guided me through the past
28 days of radiation were
there cheering me on as
I rang the bell.

I am so thankful to God that both
my chemotherapy and radiation
treatments are completed.

What a wonderful way to celebrate
a very Merry Christmas.

Father God! I praise You and thank You for your faithfulness to my sweet new friend Karen. We thank You for answering our prayers for her and we continue to ask You Father, God to keep her cancer free. I thank You for her sweet spirit and the way she has showed us all what faith in the midst of the storm looks like. She has honored You and given You the glory on this journey. I thank You for the victory that we all claim in Your name for her. Please Father God, now bless her travels and give her safety as she celebrates her family wedding. Thank You Our Immanuel for giving us all confidence that You are ALWAYS with us and being our advocate in this prayer.

Love you Karen! Am doing the Jingle Bell Rock with you! Have a fabulous weekend at the wedding and a very blessed Christmas!!

The song, "For I Need a Little Christmas" rings in my head as I read your message this morning. God is faithful and merciful. Your life and the grace and dignity you show through this ordeal speaks of God's everlasting arms and love for those who call Him Lord. I am honored to share your journey and I send my "little Christmas" straight to your heart, my friend, "right this very minute". Love, Debra RT

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...

Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?
