Day 14 for Linda and Day 15 for Marcus

Tuesday August 11, 2009

Linda again today you were able to call me. You sound somewhat better...You seem more hopeful today since you are getting to reduce the dosage of your chemo...
I am so happy that this is being allowed and that this is still safe for you to do.
You mentioned to me that you would have to have blood work done often to find out how your liver and other organs are doing.. Wow, this is really difficult, isn't it?

Today at Mass I was reading a Bible verse in Matthew about how Jesus was telling the people to "let the children come unto Him." Jesus himself tells the listeners that each child's "angel is looking at the face of His heavenly father daily."

I couldn't help but think of you Linda. You are a dear child of God and you have even had to become more " child like" in your dependence upon Him to carry you through this very difficult time in your life. But how much hope it gives me when I know that it is Jesus' own words that the angels are looking in the face of God for you.. This isn't just an "eloquent thing" to say to someone. No, it is actually the very words of your dear Lord Jesus. It gives me so much joy and so much peace as I think about how God Almighty is speaking and allowing you and me to know that your angels are looking into God's face daily for you... It brings tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat.. You are a child of God and your angels are with you.....

I know you are precious to God. Sometimes when you are really feeling sick, you forget how precious you really are to God, don't you? Well, I want you to know that you are very precious to Jesus and that He is carrying you to His Father and holding you before God's throne of grace and love. I hope you can feel that love Linda as you continue to journey through this cancer ordeal.

I also hope you know that I am "walking with Christ" for you today in my prayers, thoughts and hope. Know that all of heaven is looking upon you and singing to Jesus for your recovery Linda and I join them in this song....

Sleep peacefully my dear sister.. I love you ----Sharon


My dear Marcus,
I got an email from you today and it is so good to hear from you finally.
You are so strong Marcus.. You amaze me. That must be why God is calling you to be a priest one day.. You will be a stronger and even more giving priest, I am sure.

I am praying for you daily and lifting you up to Jesus to carry you and send His angels to you too.
I know how much Jesus loves you Marcus. I am confident that you do too..

I hope you know that I am "walking with Christ" for you today in my prayers, thoughts and hope for you to recover quickly and without struggle..

Keep me posted please as to how well you are doing.. Rest peacefully tonight Marcus.
Know that all of your angels are looking upon the face of God for you too.

Love, Sharon
