Love, Marriage-and Cancer

I shared this story because it touched my heart. I hope it does yours also.

 

 

So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.

 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,  as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen.

For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

2 Corinthians 4, English Standard Version

 

A Wedding

Whether elaborate or simple, a wedding is always special. And some are more special than others. Take a look at this unique special wedding.

 

 

 

I don’t know Abbi and Swift, but they live in my city, and I have friends and colleagues who work at this hospital.

This kind of event doesn’t surprise me at all; people here do things like this for each other, I hope they do in your town also.

By the way, did you see the people watching outside on the sidewalk? it was almost 100 degrees that day. That’s love too.

I thought this was a nice story worth sharing. So I am. Enjoy.

Watercress Words by Dr. Aletha

Today don’t worry about tomorrow

And why worry about clothes? Look how the wild flowers grow: they do not work or make clothes for themselves. from the Bible, Matthew 6

25 “This is why I tell you: do not be worried about the food and drink you need in order to stay alive, or about clothes for your body. After all, isn’t life worth more than food? And isn’t the body worth more than clothes?

26 Look at the birds: they do not plant seeds, gather a harvest and put it in barns; yet your Father in heaven takes care of them! Aren’t you worth much more than birds?

27 Can any of you live a bit longer by worrying about it?

28 “And why worry about clothes? Look how the wild flowers (or lilies of the field) grow: they do not work or make clothes for themselves.

29 But I tell you that not even King Solomon with all his wealth had clothes as beautiful as one of these flowers.

30 It is God who clothes the wild grass—grass that is here today and gone tomorrow, burned up in the oven. Won’t he be all the more sure to clothe you? What little faith you have!

31 “So do not start worrying: ‘Where will my food come from? or my drink? or my clothes?’

32 (These are the things the pagans are always concerned about.) Your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things.

33 Instead, be concerned above everything else with the Kingdom of God and with what he requires of you, and he will provide you with all these other things.

34 So do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.
