Hey there everyone! Just wanted to take a minute to post a song that has spoken to Daisy like crazy (hee, hee, I'm such a poet) since she began her treatments. It's called "Strong Enough" and was written by Matthew West. The story behind the lyrics can be found here at
matthewwest.com/2011/03/30/strong-enough/. This song has meant so much to Daisy and I know that she will want you to hear the story behind it, but now on to HER story! The "Encouraging Miss Daisy Benefit Dinner" is this Friday evening, June 17th, at the First Christian Church in Carrollton, MO. It begins at 5:00 pm in the church basement on the west side which is Monroe Street. There will also be a "drive thru" on the East side of the church which is Folger Street. Both options are a free will donation. We understand if you want to use the drive through and take your meal home; however, in the basement you will have the opportunity to take a prayer commitment card and sign her prayer quilt and also to buy one of her signature t-shirts. Which takes me back to the song, "Strong Enough"! Everyone knows that God has gifted Daisy with an amazing artistic talent. She coupled that with her love of music when creating the design for the t-shirt and these one of a kind shirts will be available for order that evening for ten dollars apiece. There are sizes for the entire family from toddler to adult.
Before I sign off I want to add a verse of scripture that spoke to me today. It is Psalm 34:19
Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them.
When I don't have the words to pray God is always faithful to give me HIS WORD and then I can't go wrong. I hope this helps as you all are praying for Daisy as well.
