Cancer Cannots

Every week we read about and all the truth about how much appreciation of our warming up, cleaning up and living at ease due to our workers on electricity. They deserve it, but I fail to read [about] the one we owe our lives for: Jesus Christ. If it had not been his will we still would be in the dark. It's like a disease such as cancer, the reason I am writing this for the late Linda Little and the many others it has reached. It hurts, cripples and many don't recover as my friend did. So here is to her and you if you are a victim.

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 friendship, it cannot shut out memories, it cannot silence courage, it cannot invade the soul, it cannot reduce eternal life, it cannot quench the spirit, it cannot lesson the power of the resurrection.

Trust in his love, your spirit will remain strong.
