Well... Let me put it this way, I have not felt like it.
I prefer to blog when I have something funny, encouraging to say.
I am a person who likes to help and not be helped (except by my always faithful husband).
After we met in 1960 and he lived in Canada and I was in the process of coming to Canada he wrote me: "Give your smiles to those who love you less but save your tears for me!" That is pretty well what I have done all those years.
But since Yvonne titled my blog when I was diagnosed with cancer nearly two years ago, www.callforprayer.blogspot.com, that gives me the right I guess to do exactly that! Call......
I have been not been feeling that great lately mentally and physically. It seems that everything I need to do takes great effort. I have no appetite, I eat because it is necessary.
The last few months there have been a lot of sibling issues and a lot of other stresses, which are getting to me.
Also my eldest brother has passed away because of cancer (as did my mother). Then I hear about people dying left and right from this dreadful disease and I think when am I next? My husband has had his series of tests done and we hear those results sometimes this month. Mine are coming up next month. So you get my drift?
I wonder how many Christmasses and New Year celebrations we might experience.
Don't tell me like I used to say,"nobody knows that!" I simply write down how I feel and have been feeling for awhile. That might explain why I do not have the patience like I used to.
Where does my faith in God come into the picture? Well that is my request.
Thank you for praying!

Out of the eye is NOT out of the heart: I hope we can talk/meet more, for now by (msn-e)mail, I wish you live-longer,yes I'd 'call also'. Lieve Truus, my dearest friend and family:I Love you ,take care sweety!
I think you need to cut off ties with the siblings in Holland who are hurting you constantly. They do not realize that time is short, and they are WASTING time that they could be LOVING you, and not hurting you.
I would gently tell them that you will not be abused any further. It's time to surround yourself with people who love and care for you...not those who wound and reject you!!!
We love you Mom....you are the most giving and beautiful person i have ever known. I hope to be just like you when I grow up.....
Yvonne I agree with you, your mom is SO sweet. Too sweet for to be hurt, nobody ever should! I love you Truus. You are also as a (parent) mom, a great person, also is Theo!! Go-on with postif people who loves you...
Trudy, You are the kindest most loving lady I know. You are always thinking of how you can help others, especially your family.
Your love towards me over the years has been a great blessing to me, welcoming me around your Tree and Table at Christmas, especially. Even to the little red stocking :)
You are truly one who gives herself as Jesus does. Thank You. Love you !
I am sad and happy to read this post. Sad - because it tells of your pain, happy - because it is real and raw.
You asked for prayer, so I shall pray. I have prayed. That the whirlwind aound your heart and mind will subside and that you will know it is OK to be happy/sad/fearful and joyful all wrapped into one.
To be honest, I don't like hearing when you or anyone that I love is not feeling well. I want you to be healthy and feel good all the time! That isn't reality I suppose. But I will pray that this ill feeling is nothing to be concerned about. You are truly a blessing to me and to everyone around you. I benefit from your wisdom every time I talk with you and I have always felt your love. God grant you today a day free from feeling tired, worn out, discouraged or just blue.
I love you Mom. Here's to a trillion more Christmases and New Years's. :-)
awww...Trudy, my heart aches to think that you are hurting. You were the first example in my life of a Holy, Christ-like woman. I remember being in your home (at 'sleepovers', family dinners, etc) and being completely in awe of the love I could feel there.
I know you have blessed and continue to bless many more than just me. Surely God needs you down here for many more years!!
