The title of "A Pastor's Cancer Diary" caught my attention because my own father, also a pastor, lost his battle with Colon cancer in June. The words of your hymn brought tears to my eyes. As someone very much in need of a Blue Christmas service this year, they were incredibly touching to me. <br />Thank you for your heartfelt words and for sharing your faith in the midst of your journey. God bless you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02158018569248242474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19802617.post-27861765822752984602011-12-19T22:00:17.019-05:002011-12-19T22:00:17.019-05:00Thanks Bint, and others, for the kind words.Thanks Bint, and others, for the kind words.Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00540884672406337833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19802617.post-67586864189619265382011-12-19T20:09:47.578-05:002011-12-19T20:09:47.578-05:00This Christmas, I am thankful that you are still w...This Christmas, I am thankful that you are still with us.

I am glad that is what you were writing about, because when I saw the headline "Blue Christmas," I thought that meant you were blue because you had bad health news! Glad to hear that you are well.Ronni Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00036024135497392070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19802617.post-63147467292988697732011-12-13T18:57:30.769-05:002011-12-13T18:57:30.769-05:00HOPE YOUR WELL.

This week is the anniversary of my diagnosis (9 years!!) and as a minister I am conscious of how many people are grieving and this time of year exacerbates that grief.<br />We love the Coventry Carol - and are using it in our nativity this coming Sunday - and I agree that its haunting melody is ideal for your lovely hymn.<br />Every blessing for Christmas and beyondZam Walkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19802617.post-59379712174296980802011-12-12T23:27:58.141-05:002011-12-12T23:27:58.141-05:00What a moving hymn - thank you.
