Dear Faithful Praying Family & Friends:
All I know about boxing is what I learned from the 1940’s film, “The Bells of St. Mary,” with Ingrid Bergman and Bing Crosby. Here is a quote from my friend, Georgia, encouraging me in my fight against breast cancer:
“The title of your blog [“Margo’s Corner“] reminds me of a boxing ring . . . We, your friends [and family], are standing and praying with you in your corner, helping you put on your gloves and head-gear: faith, courage, peace, as you go against your opponent, cancer and his cronies: fear, discouragement, etc., in the opposite corner.”
It occurs to me that each chemotherapy cycle is called a “round,” another handy reference boxing. Well, I am very grateful to have each of you in my “corner” because the bell is just about to ring: This coming Tuesday, November 17th, is the third round of chemo. Please continue to pray that the chemotherapy would be effective in eradicating any cancer cells. Also, please pray for a minimum of short-term side effects and for no long-term side effects.
By the way, the technician said that the [unofficial] results of my echocardiogram look normal. I’m very thankful!
“I will lay me down in peace and take my rest: for it is Thou Lord only that makest me dwell in safety. Into Thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit, for Though hast redeemed me, O Lord Thou God of Truth. Amen.’” [Lancelot Andrews, English clergyman, 1555-1626]
Coram Deo,
Margo

Dear Kris,
The Rotisserie Chicken Noodle Soup & Amish Bakery Bread Rolls were awesome: the kitchen was filled with wonderful aroma before, during, and after Soup Group! Looking forward to Tomato Soup next week! Thanks!
Thanks for your prayers! I needed an encouraging word this AM, as I dread the signal of the bell, for the next round!
Coram Deo,
Margo
Margo,
I’ll be praying for you tomorrow as you continue with chemo. I love hearing about your family. What a wonderful heritage you have! What courage has preceded you!
For His Great Glory,
Sallie
Dear Sallie,
Great to hear from you! Thank you for continuing to read my blog and to pray! I’m back to normal (as I write this, it is Day 17 after Chemo Round 3).
Advent blessings!
Coram Deo,
Margo
Bless you, Margo! I rejoice with you in each victory. Our family continues to pray for you and Steve.
