Product Line Expansion
Sometimes we don’t hear about someone in their cancer battle until things have
progressed to the point of palliative/hospice care. We believe that comfort, even the
fight is over, is still something that God wants them to experience. For that reason, we
are launching the hospice care bag which includes:
1. A bottle of lavender linen spray – It is to help calm the patient when their thoughts
and medication make sleep difficult.
2. A water bottle with the words of Philippians 4:13 printed on it – This is a reminder
that the patient (and family) is not alone.
3. A tube of moisturizing lip balm – It helped me tremendously with dry lips following treatment.
4. A small notebook and pen for the patient and/or family members to write things down that they need to
remember to do.
5. Mints – These are to help with the taste that may linger in the patient’s mouth when drinking and eating
are difficult.
Consider the Lilies
Do you know someone who needs a pick-me-up and lives in either Bar Nunn or Casper,
Wyoming? My friend owns Consider the Lilies Floral (based on Luke 12:27) and has kindly
offered to make flower arrangements in which part of the proceeds from the sale go to
support Be Still and Know Inc. If you’d like to support both her and Be Still and Know
while making someone’s day, order the “Be Still Donation Bouquet”. She does an
AMAZING job with her floral designs and offers free delivery for local online orders. Go to
Be Still Donation Bouquet - Send to Casper, WY Today! (marvelfloralart.com) or call
307-315-6121 to place an order with her.
When God Gets Someone’s Attention
The mother of a family we know at our church was recently diagnosed with cancer and they requested an encouragement bag for her. I recently saw this family at church, and asked how their mother is doing. The answer they gave me was one of the tightest hugs in my memory. They explained their mother has been resistant to their decades long efforts to get her to consider a relationship with God. For reasons we will never know, their mother has started reading the book, “50 Days of Hope” that is included in our bags. It is her family’s hope, and ours, that she will begin asking questions about faith. People often ask, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” Maybe cancer is one of the ways God breaks through the noise of today’s culture to get our attention.
“I wear the ‘Be Still and Know’ bracelet you gave me. It gives me peace and helps me think of all God is and that He loves me and is in control.”
UPDATES FOR DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS
We continue to have the same distribution channels, but would
love to expand to other hospitals and/or cancer centers as well
as hospices. If you know of such a place who would like to give
encourage to their patients, please let me know and we can get
a conversation started.
APPROXIMATE NUMBER OF BAGS DISTRIBUTED TO DATE: 1,682
If you know of someone who has been diagnosed with cancer or
