Highs -n- Lows Living with the Disease

Another Beautiful Morning!
Merry Christmas to all...I wish you and yours abundance of great joy, peace and good health...

Last night we had a lot of good food, great company and I enjoyed watching everyone open their presents. I am truly blessed with a beautiful family...

We had some snow overnight..it started around 4:30pm continued through the evening hours. We are expecting more this morning.  I'll see what the weather is doing today before heading over to Faribault to eat with Grandma Gloria.

I was swollen and in pain last night and again this morning.  No relief overnight.
Throbbing pain...
I'm waiting to see if my morning meds will give me the relief I need...

I am so happy for all I can do...

Today's Bible Study

The Shepherds' Obedience
Read | Luke 2:8-20

Since the Savior’s birth was the greatest news of all time, shouldn’t God have announced it to important people like kings and nobles? Instead, He sent His angel make the announcement to insignificant shepherds. They were absolutely awed by what they heard and witnessed—the long-awaited Messiah had finally arrived. Though their message probably seemed strange to others and could have resulted in ridicule, they wanted everyone to hear the good news.

We must become bold like those shepherds. It’s our job to take the gospel to people who haven’t heard, but many believers lack the courage to share their faith. At times we don’t feel knowledgeable enough, and yet we understand far more than the shepherds did. They had this one experience with angels, but we have the written Word of God available anytime we choose to open it. Don’t let the fear of rejection, embarrassment, or inadequacy keep you from sharing the only message that can change someone’s eternal destiny.

Today you probably won’t get a message from an angel, but through Scripture or by an inaudible “whisper,” God still speaks to those who are humbly listening. The real issue is what we do after hearing from Him.

The shepherds left immediately to find the newborn Messiah—just think what they’d have missed had they refused to leave their sheep! Are you quick to obey God’s instructions? By hesitating, you could miss great opportunities. Ready obedience is the key to experiencing the Lord’s plans for you.

Looking forward to another great day!
