Aug 8, Day 12 for Linda and Day 13 for Marcus

Saturday- Day 12 for Linda- and Day 13 for Marcus

Linda, you called me this morning and it was so great to hear your voice. However, you do sound so sick. I am so sorry Linda that you have been so terribly sick and I am glad that your husband called your doctor yesterday and told him that you were too sick to take chemo yesterday so you could have a break.
It hurts me so much to know how terribly sick you are by this chemo and that you have 2 more weeks of strong doses to take before you can reduce the strong dose to some what less strength. How hard this chemical is on your body...It is so sad to know...

I am praying so hard for you Linda. I know that doesn't sound like enough at times, but truly the greatest strength we have is in prayers we offer to God like incense. The prayers raise up to God's heart and His heart is moved towards His beloved.

I know you are one of God's dearly beloved. In the book of Songs of Songs in the Old Testament the scriptures talks about "I am my beloved." St. Paul talks about how we are the beloved of God.
Linda know that you are the beloved of God and that He is with you during this very difficult time.
He is holding you in His arms and carrying you close to His heart. Turn to Him Linda. Let His great love restore your strength. Know that on this Saturday, Aug 8, I am "walking with Christ" for you again... You are very special to me. I am glad that I was able to hear your voice today. Until I get to speak to you again, be at peace my dear sister... Rest in the love of God and the love that I have for you. I love you so very much, my big sister---- Sharon

Marcus, I was able to speak to your brother today and he told me that you haven't started back on your chemo yet. But, he said that you do get very tired and feel pretty lousy from it, when you did take it the first time. So, I am praying for you to be full of God's strength as you endure the next round of chemo to rid your body from cancer. Know that I am "walking with Christ" again for you and keep you in my prayers. You are an amazing young man. We are proud of you Marcus..

Love Sharon
