Highs -n- Lows Living with the Disease

Another Beautiful Morning!

Last night we went out to eat at the new steak house in Rochester by Walmart North, the Texas Roadhouse,  It was crowded but it really had good food.  Our wait time for a table was around an hour and a half.
The grandkids were having such a good time last night that we didn't put them to bed until almost 11pm.  Not sure how long they will sleep in...

Today, the kids, grandkids and Molly are heading back home to Oklahoma.  So sad! 
We going their way on January 5th to celebrate Christmas with Joanna.
I bet there weather will be a tad bit warmer.  As I get older the less I like winter...

So thankful for all I can do...

Today's Bible Study

When God Is Silent
Read | John 11:1-6

As Lazarus was dying, his sisters urgently called for Jesus to come. Imagine how their grief must have compounded when He didn’t instantly respond to their request.

God’s silence is difficult to accept. We want Him to leap into action at our call, particularly if we are hurting or afraid. But since He promises to meet our needs, we can be sure that a silence from heaven has purpose.

• Silence grabs our attention. The disciples knew that Jesus could heal, so they must have wondered why He delayed instead of rushing to His friend’s bedside. But the Lord wanted them to witness something even greater: His power over death. They had been confused by His statements about conquering death, and they needed to understand that He could fulfill His own resurrection prophecies (Mark 9:31-32). The miracle at Lazarus’s tomb was part of their preparation.

• Silence teaches us to trust. Mary and Martha sent word of Lazarus’s illness because they anticipated the Lord would heal him. But if that expectation was not met, would their faith waver? Martha answered the question by stating that she believed Jesus was “the Christ, the Son of God” (John 11:21-27). The women’s trust was rewarded with a stunning miracle: their brother’s return to life.

At times, the only thing we can hear when we pray is our own breathing. That can be frustrating and frightening. But Scripture says God is always with us, and His silence won’t last forever (Ps. 38:15; Heb. 13:5). Cling to those promises as you seek the purpose behind His silence.

Looking forward to another great day...
