Hope Lodge (Now abides Faith, Hope and Love – the greatest of these is Love)

Again we so much thank all who have gone to the Lord on our behalf. We are seeing God work out things that we never imagined our considered. From Sloan-Kettering to Dr. Brennan to AZ Heart Institute and Dr. Diethrich, The pass to go back to NY for the cancer surgery, Helmsley Medical Towers and now Hope Lodge. This is a place that the Lord has prepared through the American Cancer Society to give 60 cancer patients a place to stay in New York as they are being treated for their cancer.

The people here are so caring and so accommodating. They remind us of the words of Jesus in John 14:1-7 (abbreviated quote) “Let not your hearts be troubled, you believe in God, believe also in Me. In my Father’s house are many mansions, if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you and will come again so that were I am you can be there too (the best part of heaven is to be with Jesus)… I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man can come to the Father but through Me. (Those of the words from our Lord Jesus. Any person who would believe Jesus walked on the earth, see Him as one who spoke truth, did good deeds and cared for people – but not place their trust in the One who can take away their sins and provide a place for them – would in a little way be like me knowing there was a Hope Lodge that has already reserved a place for me – but I say, “I just can’t believe they would give me a place to stay free, just because I have cancer.”)

We did not even know the Hope Lodge existed but when the Lodge was made known to us, we filled out the paper (even though not exactly correctly) and then came to know and now realize there is a place like this and we are staying in it.

O for each and everyone of us to come to the full understanding that the Lord Jesus has a place prepared for us who have put our total confidence in Him to take away our sin and make it possible to dwell with Him forever! This is our prayer for any who are reading this for the first time – please consider calling on His name to save you now and for all eternity.
