Readers may remember that on Friday I was saying that I think God allows bad things to happen so that good may come out of it. As I sit here writing this blog entry now I am really wondering what kind of good can come out of the suffering of my grandmother. I have said to people in the past that it seems like allowing someone as old as my grandmother to get cancer seems like a very cruel joke. I mean, she is eighty=seven years old, and, I don't mean this to sound cruel, but she will die soon enough, in my opinion, without her having to suffer through cancer. I ask myself: "If Jesus suffered and sacrificed Himself for my sins, then why can my family and I not suffer for love of Him, but sometimes I feel like stuff like this is just too much, especially for such an elderly woman who has already been through so much. I just thank God that He gave me this forum in which I and others can express our thoughts. Since the birth of Frees, starting with this blog, I have felt like it will, eventually, become easier to get this support group going. The thought actually occurred to me when my mother got breast cancer and Ray, who has helped me so much with founding this group, found out that his mother was also diagnosed with cancer. I tried to get it going in my church, but the powers that be weren't supportive then, but now that I have taken the initiative to create this blog, I think that I will be able to bring it into my church and have it row beyond that setting to encompass many churches, both catholic and protestant. So I believe that all of this cancer around me has served, and will continue to serve, as a way to help myself and other people through this ministry. Until next time, I would urge you, the readers, to pray for my family and I that the right decisions will be made by all of us, the family of my grandma, and the doctors. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide our minds and hearts, as well as the minds, hearts and hands of the doctors in order to facilitate a speedy recovery with minimal suffering. Thanks for reading.
Hello to all of you: I know it's been a long while since you have seen any posts from me. But I have been going through a lot. A lot of things have changed in my life. In June 2017, I started taking classes to become a certified Healthcare musician from an online program called Therapy Harp Training program. The website if you are interested is www.therapyharp.com. I am still in that program and doing well. In 2016 I started singing at a nursing home in Lebanon, Tennessee called the Pavillion. Since that time I am singing at five nursing homes at the beginning of each month. I was asked to sing at another nursing home and I'm currently trying to get that set up. I will try to write as often as I can and continue to spread some inspiration and encouragement along the way. I was thinking while I was going over the posts on this blog that I am so blessed beyond measure, hence the title for this post. God has been so good to me in so many ways. He has given me a great family,...
