Highs -n- Lows Living with the Disease

Tuesday, October 15th

Another beautiful morning!  We are getting rain this morning. :-)

I woke up hurting again yesterday and it hurt all day :-(  But I'm feeling better this morning...so far not too bad. :-)

Yesterday morning I left for Faribault around 9:30am arrived at the clinic15 minutes before Gloria's appointment. :-) I waited for the wheelchair van to drop Gloria off at the clinic.  At 11am, Gloria's appointment time, I called Milestone and was told they just left.  At 11:17am I called the van service and they told me she's 2 minutes out. :-( She finally arrived and because we were late we had to wait until she could fit us in :-(  I made the pick up time for 10:40am...thinking this would give us enough time. Not sure why it turned out the way it did...I'm not sure if this was a test for me or someone else??? The Dr saw Gloria at 12:10pm and we were out at around 1:00pm...there were a few bumps along the way but it worked itself out... :-)
Gloria was in a very good mood and we had a pleasant visit...so thankful. They took some blood, checked Glorias legs and Dr Hurtt and I discussed the idea of grandma Gloria going into a nursing home...memory care facility.  Glorias legs are again red and swollen so a decision was made to move her to St. Lucas.Dr Hurtt will be in to see Gloria more often and other medical staff will care for her legs. :-(
I've checked with the Owatonna nursing homes and they are full with a waiting list.  So I am very thankful to find St. Lucas with an open bed.  I checked out the room Gloria would be in and it is perfect for her. :-) So thankful everything is falling into place for us. :-)

I wasn't able to stop to see mom very long so Kaylee and I are going to visit grandmas in Faribault on Wednesday. :-). Today I am picking Kaylee up after her nap and she will stay overnight.

I have been so very blessed...

Today my prayers goes out for the families dealing with substance abuse...
Lord God we pray for complete healing for CJ and MV help them turn it all over to you.  Let them know that you can fill the empty void that they have in his heart.  Give them what it takes to be rid of it and not crave it anymore.  Give them your strength and peace.  Lord we thank you for your Love even when we do make mistakes.  In Jesus name we pray. All of God's people said... Amen and Amen

Today's Bible Study

Does God Love Me?

Read | Psalm 145:7-9

Life can hit us with unexpected and undesirable circumstances. When that happens, shock and pain can make us wonder, Does God really care about me?

First of all, Scripture tells us, “God is love” (1 John 4:8), which means His very nature is characterized by compassion and concern. Love originated with the Lord, and He is our greatest example of how to express it. This truth, combined with His holiness, means His love is perfect—He’ll never make a mistake in the way He loves us.

Second, we know God loves us because He calls us His children. “To those who believe in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,” writes John in his gospel (1:12 niv). Sadly, some people don’t have a mother or father who shows them love. But God is the perfect parent. It would go against His character to treat His children with anything less than unconditional love.

Finally, the Lord gave the supreme demonstration of His love at the cross. We were all dead in our sins, but Christ went to the greatest lengths possible to give us life: He came to earth as an expression of His Father’s infinite love, and in giving His life on our behalf, did what no one else was able to do.

After considering these facts about God’s love, how could we not expect Him to take care of even the smallest details of our life? Look for ways He is expressing His love to you, and remember Jesus’ own words on the subject: “Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends (15:13)

Another great day!
