Highs -n- Lows Living with the Disease

Another Beautiful Morning!
Yesterday, I stopped to see grandma Gloria and to take grandma Faye to the doctor.  Grandma Gloria ate the McDonalds hamburger, some tator tots and drank the chocolate shake I brought in. :-).
Grandma Faye got mad at me for taking her out to the Dr appointment.  She wanted to stay in for the residents meeting they were having at 1:30.
The Dr is adjusting her meds to hopefully help with her behavior.  She told the Dr she is not moving to the otherside...the locked unit. :-(

Well I think it's time to clean and get rid of stuff again.  So today I'm starting to sort and clean again...
We still have the big dumpster sitting by our windmill so now is the time to throw out things and/or take stuff to the second hand store.

I've been waiting for the other house to get finished to see if Erik and Christine wants anything but I'm not sure I want to wait that long...

I usually move things when I clean but I will have to see if I do it this time...I don't have the strength, like I used too and I get winded so easy...
It would also be nice to put up a fresh coat of paint...

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

The Importance of Baptism
By Charles Stanley
Read | Matthew 3:13-17

Children will frequently identify themselves with superheroes or other characters. For a time, they will adopt the mannerisms, dress, and speech patterns of their current favorite. As Christians, we are supposed to identify closely with Jesus and emulate His actions.

The Lord has commanded us to follow His example in all things, including baptism (Matt. 28:19). At the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry, John the Baptist was calling Jewish people to confess their sins and demonstrate repentance through immersion in the Jordan River. The Son of God—who had no sin—asked John to baptize Him. Jesus was affiliating Himself with sinful man. When we follow His example in the waters of baptism, we are publicly confessing our faith in the Savior and identifying ourselves with Him.

By participating in baptism, we demonstrate our connection not only with Jesus but also with our brothers and sisters in the faith: We are all members of one body under the authority of the same Lord (Col. 1:18). It is important to remember that baptism is not a requirement for salvation; only faith in Jesus Christ is (Eph. 2:8-9). But in order to be obedient, we’re to be baptized after making the decision to follow Him.

Belief in Jesus is not something to be hidden away like a light under a bowl (Luke 11:33). It should be expressed in words and actions. Have you matched your confession of faith with the act of baptism?

Looking forward to another great day....
