Chaotic Cancer: A Family Member’s View: Test Results

Jo's avatarMe and My Mental Health Matters

This is my view of dealing with cancer as a family member of someone with cancer who has their own mental illness as well.

Recently mum had to go for a CT scan to check how the chemotherapy was effecting the cancer and whether it was making any difference. It was a difficult time for many reasons and effected the mental health of us all as a family.

With the scan coming round it made us all start to think of where things were heading. I know personally I started to wonder whether we were going to be told that it was all pointless and things were progressing faster and just incredibly negative. I also know my mum had these thoughts as she revealed this to me after we’d gone through the results.

We were lucky though. The chemo has shrunk the tumours on mum’s liver which is a good…

Christ Like

1 Corinthians 11New International Version

11 1 Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.

I do my best thinking whilst in the shower and just recently my thought was ‘How many of us are real practicing Christians?’ It doesn’t matter what Church you attend because you get them in every church, and I’m talking about the Christians that are nice to your face, sing the hymns read the bible message and listen to the preacher, but when they get home and out of their Sunday best their a different person. Christianity doesn’t stop the minute you get back from church on Sunday, no part of being a Christian is doing good deeds for others without wanting praise or a thanks for it. 

Christianity doesn’t stop the minute you get back from church on Sunday, it’s the little things we do each day, each week, that mark us out as living Godly lives. A Christian does good deeds for others without wanting praise or thanks for it.

Are you living a Christlike life? Are you showing that to your family, friends and neighbours? If not, then perhaps this is the time to do something about it. If you need to speak to someone my advice is aproach your minister/Pastor or a good friend That you can really trust or fellow Christian that will keep your conversation private.

As the ISS sing Christ in me, I ask you to listen to the words, especially verse three. ‘All my life wilt thou control, calmly ordering the whole, That the world may ever see Christ in me’. Once again if you are in need of help stop what your doing and pray, pray for help and guidance.

Original Thoughts

Starting next week my posts will take on a slightly different format of ‘Original Thoughts’ and being a site for devotions i wil still endeavour to link a devotional thought to mine.

Unfortunately to enable me to do this there will no longer be ‘daily posts’. I aim to post three times a week ( Monday, Wednesday, Friday) approximately. There will be no change to the regular Sunday posts.

God’s Garden

Mathew 13 V32

And this is smaller than all other seeds, but when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that THE BIRDS OF THE AIR come and NEST IN ITS BRANCHES.”

I searched for two or three verses of scripture for this one, The garden of Eden & Garden of Gethsemane, but for me these two scripture’s didn’t match the words below .

In the Garden may be an old song but it’s one of my favourites with lovely words in testimony.

 

Verse #1
I come to the garden alone,
While the dew is still on the roses,
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear,
The Son of God discloses.
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.

Verse #2
He speaks, and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me,
Within my heart is ringing.
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.

Verse #3
I’d stay in the garden with Him,
Tho’ the night around me be falling,
But He bids me go, thro’ the voice of woe,
His voice to me is calling.
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known

Hurt People HURT People — All You Need is Jesus

12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Colossians 3:12-14 Forgiveness can […]
