Highs -n- Lows Living with the Disease

Another Beautiful Day!  I slept in the living room last night so Paul could get some sleep...other wise my coughing kept him up...I slept from 8:00pm until 6:30am.  I did wake up a couple of times but went back to sleep.  Paul slept good from midnight on...woke up at 7:30am

We went to the Gem show yesterday and picked up a few things.  Paul got a few things to add to his collection and I picked up beads to make jewelry and to give to the Cancer Center.

So thankful for all I can do...

Today's Bible Study

When Things Seem Impossible
Read | John 6:1-14

Even Christ’s disciples struggled with doubt and fear in times of trouble or uncertainty. Though they walked closely with the Savior, they were still prone to casting their focus in the wrong direction.

Just before He was about to perform the miracle of feeding the 5,000, Jesus tested Philip by asking him where to buy bread for the crowd. The disciple’s response revealed that he was thinking of solving the dilemma through man’s ideas and worldly means. At the same time, Andrew was busy surveying the multitude to determine how he would approach the situation. Upon finding a young boy with five loaves and two fish, he demonstrated his own limited mindset by asking, “What are these for so many people?” (John 6:9).

As was true for all of His miracles, Jesus performed this amazing feat of compassion and provision to prove who He was and always would be. And the same Christ who fed 5,000 with five loaves and two fish will act on our behalf when situations seem impossible.

In difficult times, when it seems all hope is lost, try not to assess your circumstances from a worldly perspective. Don’t ask, “What am I going to do?” Rather, in a spirit of faith, simply say, “Lord, what are You going to do?” Remember, He tells us to cast all of our cares upon Him because He cares for us (1 Pet. 5:7).

Avoid attempting to engineer your circumstances. The virtues of patience, faith, and waiting upon the Lord will help you to know God’s grace and to experience His love and miraculous touch in your life.

Looking forward to another great day...
