Hi, friends, Many of you have been blessed when you have called Rest Ministries to speak to my volunteer assistant, Kara. Her sweet southern voice and compassion is a comfort to us all, and she keeps the ministry running smoothly and me (relatively) sane. A couple of weeks ago she let me know she'd been diagnosed with breast cancer and last week she had a lumpectomy. I briefly posted on Facebook this week as she was in surgery, but I asked her permission to share it publicly and she said it would be fine (and prayers appreciated). Wednesday following surgery Kara posted the following: I'm already home from the hospital after the lumpectomy and lymph node sampling and praise the Lord that's all for now, depending on what the lymph … [Read more...]

From Lisa – Resting in the New Year

January 9, 2012 By 21 Comments

It is the second week in January. According to the world, it is time to "get busy." But I feel like molasses is a world of energy drinks. I still have much I want to give, but it is not bubbling just below the surface like it usually does. Despite all the hype about doing, I am just concentrating on being. Well, the word "concentrating" is over-stating the reality. Honestly, I am just wandering around, resting in not having a to-do list of items that "must be done today or else," and yet, still feeling like I am wasting time by just resting. There is a long list of things I should be doing for this ministry. I feel my presence has not been what protocol dictates. Yet, I don't like to fake it. I want to be real with you. I want to be … [Read more...]

Last week we had an article, "Our Favorite Comfy Cozy Secrets When Chronically Ill" and we promised to give away a pink fleece robe to someone who had the most creative cozy tip. You all had some fabulous idea for coziness and it was hard to choose just one winner! We chose Teresa who shared about putting her children's artwork around the house from when they were young. She shares, "I know someday we won’t always get to be together on Christmas Day, or even decorating day, but I still have the memories and the actual artwork and ornaments to bring my children back home to me, whether in body or spirit. It’s the greatest gift ever besides the birth of Jesus!" We know not everyone has kids--and if you do, you may have long ago lost … [Read more...]
