Pink
Plethora of Pink, by Margie, is today’s post in the “Limited Edition Foods” blog. Focusing on food and companies that promote Breast Cancer Awareness today, Margie gives us opportunity to find special promotion food.
As much as I like Peppermint Patti bars, and any other dark chocolate, knowing I am supporting Breast Cancer research or awareness encourages me even more than my chocolate cravings, to seek out and buy these things.
This month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the color is pink. My husband received a beautiful pink packet in his work mail this month, with a pink ribbon and a little book of inspirational poems and quotes, “The Pink Ribbon Book”, by and about women who have fought this disease.
“Hope…is not a feeling; it is something you do.” (Katherine Patterson, American Witer)
The hope we have to go on in spite of seeing and hearing that which is a bringer of fear, doubt, death…this is what we do. Hope is nothing without action. If we truly hope for something, we will hold onto our hope while taking action to help it along. According to the Bible, Faith (action) is the substance of things hoped for. It is what the thing hoped for is made of. (Hebrews 11:1)
If we hope for a cure and for preventive things for cancer, we will take action to see that hope come to pass. We will do our self exam, get our mammograms, and eat healthy.
Now, I am going to buy some pink candy (probably the Nuggets). And by the way, I have already had my mommo for the year (not as bad as I thought it would be either.)
