I recently heard from someone who had received a basket with Bearnabus Bear and Journal. Recently diagnosed with cancer and is preparing to begin treatment. Her mother took the journal to the church and asked family and friends to each write on one page some things that they found encouraging. Each story would be personal. Like a “daily inspirations” book, she can now read stories and encouragement and hope from those close to her.

He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When others are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. 2 Cor 1:4
