Happy Easter to all!
I don't want this to be a sermon but tomorrow is a day to celebrate our Saviour's birth. It is a day to rejoice "He is Risen". For those that believe, John 3:16 "For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. (kjv) That tells me for believing he died on the cross for our sins we will have everlasting life". In Revelation 21:4 "And God shall wipe away all tears, from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be no more pain: for the former things are passed away". (kjv) After all our struggles here on earth with this disease this gives me great hope and peace. I wish this for each and everyone on this board as we have all shared in this journey. May you all enjoy a blessed Easter. Sending you all a hug Sandy

Sandy
Happy Easter to you and all on this board, and all who know the meaning of hope we receive here and from above. I went to Good Friday Services last night, and it truly reminded me that we deal with what we are given...none of us is ever given more than the Lord knows we can handle, although there have been times when I feel like he was pushing the envelope. We must trust that we are part of a plan, and with faith and his love, we will get through our trials.

Happy Easter Sandy and all of my Her2 sisters.
My strength also comes from my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. I know he is in control of everything and I am in control of nothing.
Much love everyone!
