I appreciate your continuing prayers and am sorry that I have to ask you for your help. I don't mean to be a whiner/complainer, but apparently, the chemo that had caused the tenderness in the palms of my hands has now gone to the soles of my feet. This manifested itself earlier this week but has now grown to be nasty. I know that it is directly from the chemo, but today it really started hurting. I know that as I go through chemo, and whatever else they figure I need, it's not going to be uneventful.
The soles of my feet are very painful, and have gotten progressively worse since Wednesday. As bad as they feel, I think I should see blood soaked socks!!! This is nasty!! I've been doing Easter dinner preps for Sunday and don’t want to wuss out in front of the relatives. I pray that the dear Lord helps me find some relief. I had the sore palms from the first round of chemo, and I found ways around that. It's harder to get around without using your feet.
I'm sorry to complain but I want to celebrate Easter at my house without my husband's family feeling sorry for me, etc. Thanks.
Also, please keep the following in prayer please…
I would appreciate your prayers for my dear niece and her very beloved dog, a chocolate lab, Reggie, who is a dear, sweet, well-behaved 8-year old, who has just been diagnosed with cancer. At this point, it is believed that the surgery would require the splitting of Reggie's pelvis to obtain access to and the removal of the tumor, and that dogs usually recover from the surgery remarkably well. Please join us in our prayers for Erin, to calm her fears, to guide those who perform the treatment on Reggie, and for Reggie himself, to become cancer-free and to enjoy life with his family! In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
Dear Rachel,
Have not written to you in a while, but that does not mean that I've stopped Praying for You dear Friend...because I lift You Up In Prayer before The Throne of Grace and Tender Mercies all through the Day and also at Night.
You are such a Blessing to all of us.
Your Courage and Faith in the face of these very difficult times of chemo treatments is encouraging and inspiring.
The LORD is so Good, He is holding You very close.
HIS hands and feet were also Bruised and Bloody, yet He Pressed on in Unconditional Love toward HIS Goal: To Purchase Eternal Life for ALL of us with HIS Precious Blood.
That is my Prayer for You!
To Press forward in HIS Unconditional Love to reach Your Goal: Total healing of Your body and Victory.
For it is in THE NAME that is above ALL Names we Pray.
Amen ~ and ~ Amen.
**Also Praying for your Niece, that our LORD will Bless her and Comfort her in her time of Sorrow and Grieving for her Beloved Pet: Reggie.
I Believe with ALL of my heart that our Beloved Pets GO to HEAVEN, because GOD has made a Special Place for them.
ALL Creatures Great and Small The LORD GOD made them ALL!
giznort, my prayers join those of other FRiends. I join pegita in thanking and praising God that you have seen some improvement in your symptoms, and I pray that you get a good report. Also for your niece to be comforted in her loss of a dear pet.
Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks that You are with us, no matter what and no matter where. Thank You for walking with us this day, Gracious Father ... may You have been pleased with what we said and what we've done this day. May we go into the night, resting in Your promise that You are with us, even unto the end of the age. May we arise in the morning, praising You for Your goodness and mercy, no matter the circumstance. Give rest this night to Rachel and her husband ... encourage their hearts with all good things from Your healing hand. In the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...
