Another Beautiful Morning!
I was having another flare last night. My face was extremely red...it still looks like I have sunburn. I have additional sores on my face this morning on both the left and right sides. I'm still swollen, sore and I have tingling going down my legs.
Today I'm running down to Winona to give some blood. I have my Dr appointment on January 13 and Dr. Danning wants me to give blood a week before my appointment. We will be gone to Oklahoma so as long as I'm in picking up meds I might as well get my blood work done. I also will be taking my car in for an oil change and to have them check my tires.
I continue to focus my mind on the possibilities and positive...I trust God has everything under control...
I am so thankful for all I can do...

Discovering Life’s Purpose
Read | Ephesians 2:8-10
Those who know and follow God’s direction will experience spiritual peace, joy, and contentment. To discover our life’s purpose, the first step—which makes all the other steps possible—is to receive Jesus Christ as our personal Savior. In other words, we must be saved.
Our part in salvation is to acknowledge we are sinners—to admit to God that we’ve lived in rebellion against Him because we wanted our own way (Rom. 3:23). Professing our belief that Jesus’ death on the cross fully paid our sin debt, we ask God’s forgiveness.
Recognizing Jesus as personal Savior and Lord, we commit our life to Him (Rom. 10:9; Gal. 2:20; 1 John 1:9). Since He is now in charge, our orders and direction will come from Him. Having become part of God’s family, we have His Spirit to help us discover and carry out our Father’s plan.
God’s purpose for His children includes sanctification, stewardship, and service. Sanctification describes continual growth in holiness. The Holy Spirit, with our cooperation, will transform our character to be more like the Lord’s. Stewardship means managing—according to God’s priorities—the time, talents, and treasure He has given us. And service for the kingdom is to mark our life, as it marked the life of Jesus (Matt. 20:28). We serve our Father by obediently ministering to others.
As we each seek the Lord’s specific plan for us, we can be confident that it will include character transformation, investment of our resources for His kingdom, and ministry to others.
Looking forward to another great day...
