I thank GOD for another year, for the gift of life, the memories and for the many blessings. We may have experienced so many stumbling blocks in spite of that, the LORD not for a moment forsaken us.
Accepting you have the disease is the beginning of healing. Dealing with cancer may not be mind over matter; having the right attitude is the most essential part in the road to recovery. It can be a blessing if you perceive it on a positive route. Living with cancer, is a reminder that every morning gives us a new aspiration, to love our life, be grateful, and to live it according to the will of the LORD.
Every day is a journey, new adventures, and new discoveries. Face life with zeal and fill it with optimism. It will make the journey more exciting and less exhausting. We can choose to dwell on with the disease, and let it defeat us or to be cheerful and be someone’s encouragement and inspiration. Staying strong amidst the challenges does not mean we cannot shed tears, even the LORD JESUS wept.
When I was diagnosed five years ago, I regard pink not just a feminine colour but the colour of COURAGE, COMPASSION, HOPE, FRIENDSHIP, FAMILY, LOVE, SUPPORT, STRENGTH, SISTERHOOD; a colour for the PASSION TO LIVE; it represents the countless WARRIORS and VICTORS.
We are already a VICTOR, for the battle has already been won as the bible says “…….in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us”. (Romans 8:37)
