Thank you all for keeping me in your Prayers, I went to the Specialist today to find out the results of my last Biopsy, I have been diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma , which is a Cancer of plasma cells in the bone marrow. As a result my bones can become weaker and break more easily, I will be treated with intravenous injections of Pamisol each month accompanied with oral doses of Chemotherapy.
Blessings
Ron
Thank you also for your prayers both for Ron and myself, I appreciate them very much, of course things are on hold for me as far as my Counseling Course is concerned, apart from Ron’s health, I have also been in Hospital for a short stay and have been resting ever since.
I had an accident in Coles Supermarket, perhaps Funny Home Videos would appreciate it but I didn’t, yes Accidents do happen but whose laughing, I sure wasn’t.
I was getting off my Mobility Scooter to pack the groceries in the bag at the back when it took off dragging me along the floor and than ran over my right foot, the Ambulance men did not feel that a bone had been broken but wanted me to go to Hospital for x-rays just in case but at the time I did not feel it was needed as I could move my foot without excess pain and it had been a big shock and I just wanted to lie down at home and not be in Hospital for hours, they than agreed but a few days later I could not walk without intense pain so I needed the x-rays and surprisingly they also showed a Spur but the Doctor felt that the Tendons in my foot had been damaged too.
The Children in my Neighborhood were so caring, they all made Grannie Annie get well cards and visited me too, one of the cards said don’t forget Jesus Loves you, they also made bracelets for me out of rubber bands, how blessed I am.
Thank you all again, may you all be greatly blessed for your faithfulness to pray and for your kind and Loving hearts.
Christian Love in our Unity in Christ Jesus from both of us – Anne.

Thanks again for your faithfulness to pray and to support and encourage us.
Patty I just have to let you know not to expect me to repeat my race with you in the Supermarket, after all you also have Vegemite and I only eat Cheesybite you may have noticed I’m a bit Cheesy but with me this means I’m a bit over the top and emotional – Lol

Hello, sending many hugs at this difficult time.
I have to go to hospital a lot with my little one because he is disabled. I always find a good book is the best thing for all the appointments… we also tend to end up in the hospital coffee shop with coffee and cake…
I remember when it all started I really had no answers as to why my little one was ill, I felt so sad and confused… but these days I know it was because there were so many things we would learn from it all. It reminds me of this fab book I read recently called “a Wrinkle in Time” by Madeline L’Engle, there was this quote in the book and I keep thinking of writing it and sticking it on my fridge… here it is, it’s a kid asking her mum if she thinks there are always explanations for things and her mum gives her an answer that really meant a lot to me, here’s the bit from the book;
” ‘Do you think things always have an explanation?’
‘Yes. I believe that they do. But I think that with our human limitations we’re not always able to understand the explanations. But you see, Meg, just because we don’t understand doesn’t mean that the explanation doesn’t exist.’ ” (p.54)
I don’t know if the quote is any comfort, but if I was in your area I’d give you both a hug, hang in there, keep going, much love, Jenny xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Have you caught up with your work now Marie as you have not been Posting or have I missed them, sometimes my Inbox is very full as WordPress keep sending double of everything and sometimes even another one of the same later. I have written to Support but they continue to do so even though claiming they are concerned about our Inboxs being overloaded, which would make me laugh if it was not so frustrating but it seems because they keep changing things they sometimes create problems that wouldn’t happen if they left things the way they were, as Ron says if it works don’t fix it!

Thank you Ufuoma for your warm and kind wishes and for your encouragement, your strong Faith in our God of the impossible is very uplifting. I can’t share now about it but will when lead to do so but you have confirmed a future event that the Lord shared with me through a poem that I wrote about Ron 7 years ago which I hold onto knowing He knows all things from the beginning to the end.
Children have brought me much Joy over the years, with my own 7 being in Heaven, there was a big hole in my heart that they have filled. I have been very blessed to have their Love.
Most of the Children that I share with now come from dysfunctional families and have suffered much in their young lives and some still do. I tell them about Jesus and how much He Loves them and I often hear them singing Jesus Loves me this I know, on their way to School and when they are playing, a song I taught them in Funday School, which I will be starting again soon, I would really value your prayers for it and for the Children who will come.
