Her name is Helen

Yesterday while in the chemo room, across from Willard and me sat a lady in her late 20s or early 30s. Willard started talking to her and found out that she was from Wilmington. I thought to myself that was twice to drive Willard and I have. She was a very cute little lady, flaming red hair, cut short, and you could tell she had natural curly hair. And of course she had freckles all over her face that made her look more childish than she really was. Her mother who seemed to be in her 50s, sat quietly with her.


During the back-and-forth conversation I found out that she had cancer in all of her female organs plus her lymph nodes. She was having chemo and radiation at the same time. Chemo is rough, radiation is rough, so I could not imagine what she must be going through and how she must feel. She was telling me that the radiation was causing her a lot of intestinal troubles, and that each time she used the bathroom she wanted to scream. I can understand exactly what she was talking about because I have too went through that agony my first radiation treatments. I felt so very sorry for her, I almost wanted to cry.

I guess it takes going through the same thing to have that really deep heart felt empathy for another. I mean you can have empathy for someone even if you don't understand their situation. But when you know the real agony that they're going through, then I do think you have a deeper, heart felt empathy for them.

People that have never gone through cancer or any other of the many diseases and disabilities, really don't know what these people go through. It's not talked about, because it's too embarrassing to mention.
My heart truly goes out to this young lady. We all know that the rest of her life will not be easy. I just pray that she does not have any permanent damage to her intestines and bladder as I did.

The Lord led me to take her hand and say prayer for her before I left the chemo room.

I ask all my Facebook family and to anyone else who may read this blog, please say a prayer for this young lady. Her name is Helen.

Until next time, Willard and I both wish you health and happiness, may God bless and God save.

Ps 103:2

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

Ps 103:3

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

Ps 103:4

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

I'd like you all to meet my great nephew, Jason Daniel Davis. Born May 26th ""early this morning"" Entered into this world at 4:40am. He weighed 5lbs 10 oz. and was 20 inches long.

I thank God for him and I know his mother and dad are just so excited and thankful to God for him. My niece Stacy Moore Riley is so excited to be an aunt. And my brother Danny Moore is estatic to be a grandfather.
And I know with in my heart that Janice my sister in law is looking down from Heaven smiling at her new grandson. Jason is a true blessing to the whole family. And he is truly a blessing from God.

Ps 127:3

Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

And to Jason I give this blessing from the word of God.

Numbers 6:24

The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:

Numbers 6:25

The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

And may God bless you all the days of your life.
I thank all who have said prayers for Angela and baby Jason. And I ask God that He will bless each of you. For you are faithful prayer warriors, who love the Lord. Thank you!
Until next time Willard and I wish you health and happiness. God bless and God save.

God's grace is not dependent on deeds done.

If you share this post, God will reward you. Huh? Here I thought we were in the 21st century. Now I know that the Word of God is just as real today as it was when it was first written. But I have never read anything in the Bible stating that “ without God’s promise” you will be blessed for doing anything. There are so-called evangelists who are racking in millions of dollars each year because they talk financial promises. Promises, that doesn’t come from the word of God nor God. Neither can one get remission of sin by donating money. Nor health, nor happiness. God does say cast your bread upon the water. That means to give freely for the glory of God. But don’t cast your pearls before swine as some are doing, hoping to get a blessing from God. If you want a blessing from God…..go to God. I’m not promising He will give you your request. But I do promise that He loves you and will do what’s best for you. Many times God says NO ! Because He knows the future and He has a plan for each of us. We would do well to trust in that plan and in Him.


I worry so much about people who believe such people, such promises and things. We, being in the end times and looking for the glorious coming of Christ our Lord. It is also time for the antichrist to appear. These same people that are being fooled by such ploys from these not so Godly evangelists, will be quickly fooled by the antichrist. It breaks my heart knowing that. If you’re here and know who the anti-christ is, then it’s too late for you.

Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

We are not in the middle ages, and should not believe in folklore.

But as far as superstition, we are still backward people; some still unable to walk under a latter because of fear that something terrible will happen. Still keeping four-leaf clovers, rabbit’s feet and such, for good luck. So if you’re wondering why I never pass on those post on FB promising some kind of blessing. This is why.

Until next time, Willard and I wish you health and happiness. May God bless and may God save.

This is a picture of my mother, ''Clara'' with my brothers, Jerry and Danny. My sister Jean and I are not in the picture because we were not with my mother. My brothers, Gary and Troy had not been born yet. I've told the story before of how my dad left my mom and brought Jean, Jerry and me from our home in VA to his mom's, "my grandmother" Molly Moore's. Grandmother Moore could not handle Jerry so she sent him back to Mom's. And so, in this picture of Mom, Jerry and Danny, as they say grace, you can almost feel the emptiness. Since I was not raised by my Mom, we really never had that Mother daughter relationship, Although I dreamed many, many nights of walking to her on the road to Va. As I dreamed these dreams I was too young to know where or for that matter what VA was. All I remember is that I missed my mom.
Even though my Mom and I never had a close relationship, since her death I seem to feel her around me. especially when I'm in one of my lease favorite moods of almost giving up. I know many nights when I lay in bed so sick from chemo, I can feel a soft gentle hand stroke my forehead. I know in my heart it's my mother.
I believe with all my heart, and with all my being that life doesn't end to those that love the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that every once in a while God sends love ones to comfort us in our most trying times. I'd like to thank the Lord for all His many blessings on me, so very, very many.
So here on mother's day I mourn the lost of my mom both in life and in death. But I have joy in knowing that some day we will once again be together. You see, love never dies, and I will have that relationship in the life to come.
I'd like to wish all the mother's out there a very happy mother's day. I wish you all, love and happiness. May God bless and hold each of your children in His loving care. And most of all may all mother's children find Jesus Christ and be saved. The greatest gift of all for a Christian mother is to know that their children's eternal life is secure in Christ.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY
Until next time, Willard and I wish you health and happiness. God bless and God save.

Rest in peace Mom, I love you.

You know, I've spoken about the wonderful people from Thomas Drug Store many times. These wonderful people just keep surprising me. Wednesday morning I sent Willard to mail a package for me, but before mailing it he was to pick up a few items from the drugstore to put in the package. The package was for my niece Angela who is pregnant with a precious little boy that she has given the name Jason. Before I go on any further I would like to say how wonderful it is that she has named him. When she talks about that precious gift that is within her she calls him by name. Isn’t that really special?


Well anyway back to Willard. I called the drugstore and spoke to Diane and she offered to help pick out some items for Jason. When Willard came home he told me about the post office rules, and that the package had to be wrapped in brown wrapping paper. He said that not only did Diane do a wonderful job selecting baby items; she told him she would be glad to wrap the package and take it to the post office and mail it. This is way above what her job duties are. This my friends, comes from love. Love not just for me, But she's like that for all the customers that come into Thomas Drug Store. I do not know how on earth, Paige and Kathy,”” owners of the store”” happen to choose such wonderful people for employees. One would have to search far and wide to find such wonderful people. Paige and Kathy are also very kind, very loving people.

I love you all at Thomas Drug Store.

Thank you so much Diane, I love you.

Until next time, Willard and I both wish you health and happiness, God bless and God save.
