I promised God that I'd write something for Him after Easter in thanks for His looking after me. I hadn't been able to write anything since the start of treatment last year but now I'm near the end of it I felt I could try again. I hope this will be of some interest and comfort.
WITH LOVE
Made in fulfilment of a vow
How shall I thank you, Lord,
for Your care of me
Through those long and heavy months
while illness clung to me.
Its bite held fast but Your
sustaining love opened its jaws,
Took the pincers from me
and its waving threat.
You gave me life and breathed it
every day through sleep and sleeplessness
Into my heart and mind
giving me calm and strength.
Your gift prevailed against the dark.
Your light led me forward and on.
I am Your battered creation
and You will make me whole.

Hi AngelaG ……. this is great.
You may want to listen to this song as it was often the backing track of my journey.

Thank you so much for sharing this song. Indeed God is faithful.
I can never find this thread until someone posts something I don’t know why that is. If anyone knows how I can get to it that will be great.
Hi Ruva ….. there were a few changes to the community late last years and this unfortunately removed a few quick links from our homepage ‘my groups’
When you hit your community name you should see all the groups you have joined but there are a few that don’t show up…… this group doing one.
I continue to push the Mac team to fix this.
But if you go to the ‘Forums’ tab near the top then select the ‘Cancer Experience Forums’ tab you will find this group on that list or save the link below
Always around to chat.
Hi Mike
