"Since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God."
Romans 5:1-2

When It's All Been Said And Done
This month it has been 7 years since I had my cancer surgery. I praise the Lord that I am free of cancer...I have a check up scheduled with my endocrinologist in March and they'll do a few tests,but the biggies were done the first couple years after my surgery and they were so clean and good that it looks like I'm home free. At the time of my thyroidectomy I was really ready to meet the Lord. I told everyone that if I didn't make it, that I would be with my Jesus, so to be happy for me. Well, here I am still here, still waiting to be in His arms eventually. I'm glad to be here, and I sure hope that when it's all been said & done that I'll hear the words,"Well done my good and faithful servant." There are days I can't imagine that God is too pleased with me and I am such an ungrateful child sometimes. I'm glad He's given me some more time to clean up my act! I'll start by trying to be a better wife to Patrick. Maybe I'll make him a nice meal tomorrow night. Baby steps. The following video/song is one of my all time favorites (sung by Robin Mark). I hope you all like it too.
When it's all been said and done,
There is just one thing that matters.
Did I do my best to live for truth?
Did I live my life for You?
When it's all been said and done,
All my treasures will mean nothing.
Only what I've done for love's Reward,
Will stand the test of time.
Lord Your mercy is so great,
That You look beyond our weakness.
And find purest gold in miry clay,
Making sinners into saints.
I will always sing Your praise,
Here on earth and ever after.
For You've shown me Heaven's my
True home,
When it's all been said and done.
You're my life when life is gone.
Lord I'll live my life for You.
Barocha.
The Lord bless you and keep you.The Lord make His face shine upon you. And give you peace.The Lord be gracious to you. The Lord turn His face towards you. And give you peace forever. love, Cassie
beautiful song and video... YES, I think it starts with the small things, even my attitude - I hope I am always learning and growing to be more of what He wants me to be. By the way, the 2nd half of your blog has a line through the words, not sure what is up with that?
Hey girl,what are you doing up so late? I'm a midnight marauder...looks like you are too. I think I was probably editing my post when you came on,so it made strange lines.
Thank you for sharing that piece of who you are with the rest of us. It amazes me the things those around me have survived through and the grateful attitudes they carry with them despite it all. I am glad that you are still here. I have enjoyed getting to know you!
Congrats, Cassie, on 'defeating' cancer!!!! I lost a brother to cancer in 1985.. He fought it for many years --and lived life to its fullest until his death. May God Bless You. Hugs, Betsy
Praise God that you are still here indeed!! You know He was telling you that you have more work to do, by keeping you around.... and I think you are doing it. :)

Betsy ~ I'm sorry for your loss.Thank you for the blessings.
Daisy ~ The "one touch" video is thanks to your excellent instructions.Thx so much.That is such a beautiful song,I agree.
