Cancer AGAIN? was posted on 2-5-2000

Cousin Rosie, a very young widow
Has experienced blow after blow
Cancer took her hubby when their son was 3
Three years later her mom's was removed by surgery

January, her 8 year old son, Timmy
Began bone cancer chemotherapy
He has a 5 day chemo treatment plan
Every 3 weeks throughout this years span

They leave him sick to his stomach
Till about a week before he goes back
Plus he's weak and his blood count lowers
So has transfusions redeem its powers

He braves daily shots and medication
Became an honorary member at the fire station
For him a fund has been established
And they're on many a prayer list.

A local concert given by a daughter and mom
Raised some funds to help them carry on
The firestation also contributed a check
So prayers are at work but we're not through yet.

Rosie's workplace is going to pay
For her 3 month leave that began in May
We thank God for each of you out there
He hears your kind continued prayer.

Sandgrain - I remember the first post about this.  This poor little guy, and as I send up prayers for the blessings of my healthy boys,
I will continue the prayers for Timmy and his Mom.  Bonnie

Lord help us if we should ever complain,
For we have never been under such strain!
The heavy burdens on which some are placed,
Should make us not murmur, ourselves to
     disgrace!
Rather we our energies should use to
     uplift,
Those Like Timmy & Mom, who do not share our
     gifts.

Thank you for updating & reminding us, our prayers will be with them.   David

sandgrain,
   I don't want to scare some of you good folks out there but we are living in the last days. We have prayer request for the many children and loved ones come by each one of us daily. This says to me, I believe in Prayer!! What's stopping Jesus? Us! He tells us, "in the last days He will pour out His spirit unto us", do you know why? So that He may perform miracles and healings in His name! Why? So that the unbeliever may see and believe. We need stronger faith and believe when we ask. Ask believing, knowing
He can and He will, praise His holy name.amen
I can quote bible scriptures to back up the promises He gives us about these matters, but untill we start praising the Lord and loving Him from our hearts and yielding to Him, we may fall short of these miracles. All he asks is our love and faith. Praise his holy name. amen

Thank you for the update Mom!  

David you're so right! And man that made me just sit here with tears after knowing what I've been complaining about! I should be thanking God instead!

Dear Sandgrain; Included are my prayers for sweet Timmy and his Mom.
I wonder if we realize the power of Jesus here in this forum as we all agree in prayer?
