@ Frances – May the Great Physician be your strength and comfort, take away all fear, grow you in trust, and surround you with His love as you face this difficult time. He did that for me when I was diagnosed in January. Treatments are done and I’m doing very well. May His healing touch be upon you! God bless!

Jewel says
Is there any way that I can send articles from incourage to facebook ? I sure would like to post some of them. Thanks.
Penny says
If you copy the link in your address bar, you can paste it to your wall.
Enter the link where you would update your status. Usually facebook will then twitch a little and add a ‘picture’ link, like you will often see.
Usually I backspace my pasted link if the picture one comes up, and add my own comment.
Hope that made sense
Sheila says
