Highs -n- Lows Living with the Disease

Tuesday, October 22nd

Another beautiful morning...
I have a lot of tingling in my legs and numbness in my arms and hands...my hand feel like they are changing.  Hard to explain...

Last night we got our first freeze.  I was able to get most of the plants in I wanted to save over the winter. :-). The front porch is full and we have an overflow into our livingroom.  :-)
We had a lot of potted plants this year.  Instead of putting them in the ground, like we had in the past, we placed the majority of them in pots...easier for me...

Yesterday, we had some small snowflakes coming down but it didn't accumulate to anything.  I really don't like this weather...I'm looking forward to our trip to Oklahoma. :-). 

I didn't make it to the speaker last night at church...I had other issues to take care of...
I think things are falling into place for him and I pray for his complete healing. Amen

So thankful for all I can do... :-)

Today's Bible Study

Participating in Great Works Through Prayer

Read | John 16:23-24

Divine miracles occur daily: when closed minds open, the spiritually blind suddenly see the gospel’s truth, and rebels surrender and become God’s children. Jesus promised that we who believe can have a part in great works like these by making requests in His name.

Our heavenly Father waits for us to draw near with our big petitions. He looks to see that we are asking based on the merits and reconciling work of Christ, that we have confessed all known sin, and that we firmly believe He’ll do what He has said. In other words, we are not to doubt; our Father wants us to have faith that He will both keep His promises and respond for our good. He delights in giving His children gifts (Matt. 7:11).

God answers our requests when they are in alignment with His plan. And we know He won’t act in a manner inconsistent with His character. So by searching the Scriptures, we can discover whether our desires line up with God’s nature and promises. We might also learn about someone with a similar dilemma, such as: Elisha, who was exhausted and in despair; Ruth and Naomi, who were poor widows in need of the Lord’s help; or David, whose life was in danger. Their interactions with God—and the ways He responded—will provide guidance on how we can speak with our Father about our difficulties. And we can be certain the Holy Spirit will help us (Rom. 8:26).

God alone knows the perfect actions to take and the right time to do so. But He invites us to ask in faith—and to keep on asking (Matt. 7:7 ISV).

Another great day!
