An enthusiastic beliver in Christ, Mom lost her battle with cancer. But her life
demonstrated that even though the physical body may be destroyed by disease, the
Spirit can remain triumphant.
Cancer is so limited...
It cannot cripple love,
It cannot shatter hope,
It cannot corrode faith,
It cannot eat away peace,
It cannot destroy confidence,
It cannot kill freindship,
It cannot shut of memories,
It cannot silence courage,
It cannot invade the soul,
It cannot reduce eteranl life,
It cannot quench the Spirit,
It cannot lessen the power of the resurrection.
If an incurable disease has invaded your life, refuse to let it touch your spirit.
Your body can be severely afflicted, and you may have a great struggle. But if you
keep trusting God's love, your spirit will remain strong.
