ReplyDeleteHi Michele,
ReplyDeleteI am always hoping and praying for a cure. When you lose someone you love to breast cancer or any cancer, that person is never very far from your thoughts. I love the little votive and would love to win it. Thank you for sharing this with us at Tea Time and have a beautiful week, my friend.
Blessings,
Sandi
A pretty important issue, so I'm glad you posted! Ruth
ReplyDeleteI have 3 friends that are survivors of breast cancer. I pray that God will make a way to give our doctors the wisdom of finding a cure soon before we lose our love ones . I have had colon cancer and I am also a survivor and have hope that it never returns. This is a wonderful post and I am glad I found it.

I'm praying for an end to all cancer. My mother-in-law has survived ovarian cancer. I would be delighted to win the darling pink ribbon votive! I just bought pink ribbon slippers today (I'm wearing them now of course!) Thanks for such a lovely post,and offering. =) Deanna
ReplyDeleteDear Michele,
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to you and the family....My family also has been touched my breast cancer my Grandma, Auntie's and dear friends have had to battle this disease, two of my daughters friends both girls just 30 years old had breast cancer, good news they both are now close to their 5the year cancer free and want to start a family with their husbands.
My Dad is a cancer survivor. I do hope and pray to our Heavenly Father that cancer will be less and the cure more...My daughter sees a lot of this, she is an OR Tech. She has told me that many times the OR room will pray before surgery begins.....
The votive cup is a bright reminder that there can be light at the end of the tunnel and that you can with the will of our Father be a survivor. Please add to name into the Pink Hat!
Sending hugs and prayers, Elizabeth
What a lovely post Michele, breast cancer is a little close to my heart I'm afraid. We have the Braca 2 gene in our family and it's not the best thing to pass down from generation to generation. I pray all the time that this rotten disease would simply disappear and not cause anymore pain and suffering.
ReplyDeletep.s So nice to visit your blog, life has been so busy and I haven't caught up on any blogs. I hope you are happy and well xoxo
This is a beautiful post, Michele. I always enjoy your posts. I do not want to enter because I already have two of those so let it go to someone who doesn't have one.
ReplyDeleteThe dishes from the previous post-omg!!! They are So gorgeous. Wow. How perfect with a Halloween theme too. Gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteYou don't need to enter me, but yes, I'm praying for a cure for breast cancer too! Two dear friends are going through it right now. One, I'm taking for her chemo tomorrow. I'm going to bake a Mississippi Mud Cake tonight and take along a couple of pieces to make us both feel better!
