    Slonedeb. Let the celebration for your daughter continue and may science work overtime, with the guidance of the angels, that all of our daughters may only know stories of what this disease was capable of -- and be spared that experience in their own lives.

    A new day dawns. And with that new day:

    HOPE. HOPE. HOPE. HOPE. HOPE. HOPE.

    "Ride out your storms."

    Praise God Deb for your daughters great news. Deb we must keep riding out this storm. I feel like we are in a boat with high waves crashing all around us. I started rads yesterday for my back. I will get 10 rads then back to try another chemo. The dr. said that if  I do not get a chemo to shrink my lung mets I may not last 6 months and I told her I know God he will have the say. I am frustrated. Having my son home was going well but last night things were real bad. I cant talk about things there but we need prayer for many issues .God is able and I am riding my storm the best I feel I can. So Deb you keep looking up that is where our help is coming from. When our kids are going thru things we so want to make better and we try and dont seem to make any head way . I ask prayer for my family and all of us who are here. Remember we are prayer warriors. With God we are winners. Hugs and love to you Deb...

    Dearest Deb and kbug,  so deep my thoughts and prayers for you both in your time of tribulation. It is the one gift we humans give, the gift of empathy and love. May you feel our showering of concern for you both. Deb I am ecstatic for your daughter. It must be a great lift from your shoulders. I will try to post Deb, but my dear one is ill, and travel and assistance may keep me for a while. I will never forget you in my daily prayers, however. 

    With great affection,

    Tender

    Deb you are so dear to me and I want you to know that you inspire me. I am amazed how the Lord has used this site and placed so many of us together. It is a special place we can share all our troubles and triumphs. Deb keep looking up for that is where our strengths comes from.

    Dear Heavenly Father we are so blessed and I thank you for your love and mercy. I ask you to touch my dear sisters in need and to pour out a blessing on my dear Deb. Lord we struggle thru the storms but know that you are always there with us and I am so glad you are. Keep our families safe and encamp your angels around each of us. I praise you Father God...AMEN

    Slonedeb, Kbug, Tender......... you are each having a sincere storm right now. I'm so concerned for each of you. Know that I will send up prayers round the clock in an effort to send you each some encouragement for the issues at hand.

    The work of being a parent is so fraught with challenges.

    We can indeed hold one another up. Prayers for each of the SloneRangers and our Slone of course. Know that we are all here cheering on those in need.

    Ride out your storms!!

    To all my sisters: I pray so hard for you all everyday. Deb, I am so elated that your daughters results are negative.

    I know you all are going through so much right now, and all I can say is you have so many of us rooting for you......we are not silently listening but actively cheering you on for better days ahead.

    I suck at verbalizing how I feel, but if you could only feel what my heart feels for you. Just know I am thinking of you ladies as always........I pray that this evening brings you comfort, no pain, no worries.

    Slonedeb and SloneRangers: Good happy weekend to one and all....................

    Sending some FL sunshine, tho there's no traditional warmth down here, unseasonally cold, with all the fruit growers in "over-time" to save their crops from the arctic blast. Still warmer than our home in OH and we're certainly not shoveling any snow, so it's a respite for certain!!

    Prayers, gentle hugs, encouragement, comraderie, delight, distractions and story-telling.

    I'll bake some soft cookies for the Rangers and leave them with you Slonedeb, so you'll have plenty to share.

    Morning all. It is a gorgeous day and so cold here in North Carolina. But am thankful for another day. Deb I pray you are feeling better and can enjoy the day. I want to thank all you prayer warriors here for I am blessed to know you.

    Lord I thank you for my dear sisters here and for the blessing of having them in my life. They are so unselfish. Bless each one in a special way for they mean so much to so many. Lord I ask for a healing balm for my dear sister Deb. Lord I know when things seem impossible that is when you step in and work miracles. So we are claiming our miracle and thanking you for it. I love you Lord and I praise you. AMEN

    Oh, so sweet to read all the posts for support of each other. I'm sitting in a hotel far away from home tonight, and am tired. I wish you well, Deb and kbug, that your not in excessive pain, nor heightened fear. I thought of you both today. I visited my family member whose facing major surgery and I recalled to her who I had to release myself to God and the operating team. But fear is omnipresent, and I will stay as long as it takes to see her through. I wish you a peaceful night, deb.

    Slonedeb. SloneRangers.

    Sleep easily. Sleep deeply. Sleep well.

    Dream happy dreams. Trust that prayers circle our entire little thread -- offering encouragement and strength for the times when the going gets tough.

    We had a gorgous sunset tonight. I was able to snap some good pictures & I've put them on my blog, dear Slonedeb..... I know that you have troubles getting pics directly from the thread. Try this link: www.rainbowswithinreach.blogspot.com and hopefully it will click directly.

    Only a Creator of amazing care could sculpt a sunset with such awesome colors. We are in good hands with One who gives such exquisite attention to detail.

    Dear Lord,
    You know Deb, Kbug & Tender so much better than I do. You know their sickness and the burdens they carry. You also know their hearts. Lord, I ask you to be with my friends now, working in their lives. Let your will be done in my friends' lives. Lord, I pray for my friends because your Word says I should pray for their healing. I believe you hear this earnest prayer from my heart and that it is powerful because of your promise. I have faith in you to heal my friends, but I also trust in the plan you have for their lives. Lord, I don't always understand your ways, and why my friends have to suffer, but I trust you. I ask that you look with mercy and grace toward my friends. Nourish their spirits and souls in this time of suffering and comfort them with your presence. Let my friends Deb, Kbug & Tender know you are there with them through this difficulty. And may you be glorified in their lives and also in the lives of all their friends and family.

    Amen

    Daffodil thank you for that prayer it is beautiful. I am thankful for all who have faith and pray for us.

    Deb it is a rainy chilly morning here but so thankful for this day. My grand daughters are here for weekend so they are a big help. Even at 6 and 8. I feel better than yesterday so I am tickled. I pray you have had a good weekend.

    Lord I thank you for another day . Help me to do what you want me to do. I struggle with what I want and what you want for me. I want to show others there is hope and to believe your word. I know what you say is true. Many days Lord I feel my faith is not as big as a mustard seed and others my faith feels so much bigger and stronger. Lord I know you do not lie and that you have what is best for us planned. I love my family so much and so desire to be here many more years to enjoy things with them and to make many memories for them. I ask that you touch each one here in a special way Lord. Deb needs a brand new touch Lord and I am asking for a blessing for her. Be also with our dear Tender. Thank you Father God.  AMEN

    Dear Heavenly Physician. You have blessed us with this resource that has bonded us together. You have blessed us with a circle of friends who have trust and faith in your goodness and grace. You have given us the resources of science -- that is still imperfect, but has such promise. We give thanks for our medical teams who work Your will and give us hope for a future.

    Give us the courage to walk together, through the storms. Through the rough weather we hold each other up..... when progression looms on the horizon, when family members fail to respond as we would hope, when finances are dashed, when the realities of this walk threaten to overwelm us.

    It is at those junctures where I have seen you send just the right person, with just the right inspiration, just the right prayer, just the right poem. And we all exhale and we all rejoice and we all know that we are strengthened by our community -- by YOUR community.

    Walk with us today. Guide us. Direct us. Heal us, as only You are able. And we are reminded here, that You are Able, indeed.

    Send calm and healing to our Slonedeb and Kbug. Hold up our Tender and Footie. Watch over the rest of us SloneRangers so that we are able to contribute what we can: friendship and encouragement when the days are dark. Let us light our own little candles and offer HOPE.

    I ask for miracles to be showered upon our friends. We watch and wait for new miracles to unfold on your time-table. We don't understand the role of suffering in our lives, but we know that You hold us gently and carry us thru the times that try our souls.

    Reading tonight far from home, I am heartened by your words of support for Deb, kbug and all. It is amazing how expressions of care can boost one's spirit so: what a blessing. I pray for you tonight Deb that peace is bestowed upon you. May you keep your faith, no matter how untouchable it may feel at times, or how small, or how intermeshed between support and frustration, may you just keep it. We here have doubts at times, Deb, so there too you are not alone in your circle. 

    Tonight I add a special family member to my nightly prayers for risky surgery tomorrow, and risky recovery for weeks. I feel my sisters and brothers support, not just with breast cancer, but in life's trials, and I thank you all. A special prayer for Deb and Kbug tonight.

    Tender

     For Deb, Tender, Footie, KBug, Faith, and all the Slone Rangers: 

    What hope means

    Hope is bright shining light which keeps darkness at bay
    Hope is a warm glowing fire on a winter's day

    Hope is to remain positive when going gets tough
    hope is seeking more when others think you've had enough

    What hope means

    Hope is dreaming of tomorrow
    Hope is simmering under sorrow

    Hope is sparkles when tears are in our eyes
    Hope is a beautiful thing and beautiful things never die

    What hope means

    Hope is as light as a feather
    Hope keeps all of us together

    Hope is ubiquitous and free of cost
    Hope is the last thing ever lost.....

    adapted by me from a poem by Vineet Bansal

    Daffodil, you are the editor of our HOPE Newsletter. I think you need to compile all of these writings that you've sought and put them into one book. I'll be the first to buy it!

    What a foggy morning in FL. Maybe we had some rain during the night. I know precipitation is always needed down here -- so I will be grateful.

    Slonedeb & Kbug..... prayers for the both of you, sisters-in-faith. Keeping watch and sending light.

    Tender......... prayers for the surgery ahead, or possibly under way.... and recovery ahead.

    SloneRangers....... prayers for the horizon ahead, whatever it holds for each and all!

    xx00xx00xx00xx00xx00xx00xx

    Ride out your storms............

    Our dearest Deb hugs and love and most of all will continue to pray for you. Prayer works. I know how things don't look good I am facing problems also . But we have to hold on to Gods word. I  know it is hard to not get down but we are going to keep lifting you up and believing things are going to turn around.

    Dear Heavenly Father our dear sister Deb needs to feel your love. I ask you to pour out a blessing on her which she will know and all will know it is you. She like us at times feels alone and afraid and needs to know you are there. I speak life into her and not death. . I praise you for what you are doing. Lord we love you and are doing the best we feel we can to ride out the storms. Bless all my dear sisters. AMEN

    Slonedeb. I can't even begin to imagine how you feel tonight.Cry your heart out if you want. Then get back to the land of miracles where hope reigns eternal and our Creator brings hope.

    Everything that I can think to say seems so very feeble and tiny, but that's only because I'm a teeny meager little friend. Know that my heart is with you. My words just completely fail me.

    You will not go thru this alone. Whatever "this" is............

    We will stand by you and hold hands. We will sing songs, we will visit, we will pray and we will come to terms with the will of our God. We will continue to ask for a miracle -- for science to rise up and lends it's capability to your story.

    We will ask the angels to surround you and hold you up as you come to grips with this news. We will ask the angels to carry you thru this storm.

    Stick your head in the sand. Continue to have hope in the face of all that seems unlike hope. Be couragous enough to let the lifeblood that is within you win the day. Just one day at a time. Let's start with today. Use these remaining minutes of this day for good.

    (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((slonedeb))))))))))))))))))))))))))

    xx00xx00xx00xx00xx

    Keep riding sister, keep riding. We're all here to help you hang on.
