Highs -n- Lows Living with the Disease

Sunday, July 7th

Another beautiful morning...temps today again close to 90 and a chance of storms.

We are going to eat at Beth's restaurant in Nelson, WI for lunch to celebrate Kris 31st birthday. Where has the time gone??? :-)

         ------------------

Well, my sister asked if I was nervous about my Dr appointment tomorrow with my neurologist.  I'm not...I'm at peace with whatever the results might be.  I may someday end up with a cane, walker or wheelchair.  I may also end up unable to get out of bed by myself but no matter which direction my journey may go.  I am so Thankful for what I can do. :-)

           -------------------

I was listening to a program on the Christian Radio Station yesterday.  They were talking about how we judge others by how they look or by what others have told us.  We think we are better, prettier, thinner, smarter, more successful than others.  It's really sad how we become desensitized. :-(
It's interesting how we are the first to judge or talk about others when we ourselves have just as many flaws as the person we are talking about or making fun of.  We don't know what that other person has been through or what they may be going through right now. 

Let's do a better job at loving our neighbor as ourselves and loving as God loves us...unconditional...

Today's Bible Study
Condemned No More

Read | Romans 8:33-39

Every person is born under condemnation. Because of Adam and Eve’s rebellious decisions in the garden of Eden, each person born since then has come into the world with an inherent sin nature. Consequently, everyone needs a Savior, and God has graciously and lovingly provided one in His Son Jesus Christ. Those who reject Him remain under condemnation. Their guilty verdict has not been overturned, so they owe the penalty for violating God’s laws.

Perhaps this seems unfair to you. It is important to remember that God has always facilitated our unfettered communion with Him, even though He alone is perfectly holy and righteous. The reason He created Adam and Eve with free will is that He didn’t want us to be robots—He wanted to enjoy real love and fellowship with His children.

But those first human beings fell because they made poor decisions, as any of us would have. How wonderful that God offered to restore our relationship with Him through Christ’s atoning sacrifice for our sins. He is the Creator, so we truly have no right to question His plan. And yet the Lord has been magnanimous and amazingly loving throughout history. We deserve nothing, but He’s given us everything—including access to Him at any time.

Instead of condemnation, eternal security is ours once we place trust in Jesus as Savior. Praise God! We’ve been liberated from the penalty of our sin and are free to live forever in Christ’s nurturing and instructive grace.

Another great day!
