Do you know any one that has breast cancer?



Do you know any one that has breast cancer?

 That’s the question we asked when we had our fund raiser on Friday at a  Community Hospital. We spoke with 14 people who either had the Cancer or someone in the  family or  friends and coworkers  are survivors. We asked the question because wanted to do as the bible says comfort the ones suffering with Breast Cancer.

2 Corinthians 1; 3,4, 7
Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God.
And our hope for you is unwavering, knowing as we do that just as you share in the sufferings, so you will also share in the comfort.

The five of us (volunteers) talked about our experiences with breast cancer, mammograms, and treatments and shared some encouraging bible thoughts from the bible with these individuals. Some were given bags and others we will get in touch with to give them one of Jessie’s Bags. If we have been able to encourage just one person I feel like it was a very successful event. We reached out to at least 14. Being able to share the comfort and this experience was very encouraging to the 5 of us all who have been in some way affected by the disease....  The bible says there is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.

Who do you know that is a Breast Cancer Survivor?
