Highs and Lows Living with the Disease

Another Beautiful Day!
I just woke up coughing.  So I'm up for my day.  I got up to take my morning meds, I ate some cereal, banana and I had a cup of coffee to start my morning.  I'm reading my morning bible study and watching a christian ministry...starting my day right...:-).

Whatever this stuff is, that is going around, we've had enough...

Today, Paul and I are planning on going out to another portion of the gem show to see what's out there.  It's fun to go look...  There is so much to see.  Paul is looking for more items to add to his collection.  I'm looking for more beading stuff for the cancer center.  I have a list of what they want and need. :-) Hopefully I can find these items for a good price.

Usually Paul can stand a few hours and then the cold/flu kicks him in the butt.  We both need to take it slow so we don't pick up anything else along the way... 

We had a good weekend...we were just laying around, taking it easy so we can get well.

We are so thankful for all I can do...

Today's Bible Study

Divine Guidance
Read | John 14:26

God knew that we could never grasp the whole of His greatness with our finite human minds. It is for this reason that He provided us with a divine Teacher—the Holy Spirit.

The purpose of Bible study is not mere information, but transformation. If what we read doesn’t change our lives, then we are not experiencing the full power of the gospel. Therefore, the Holy Spirit has an important goal in teaching us the Word of God: to transform us into the likeness of Jesus Christ (Rom. 8:29). He does this in three areas:

1. Evangelism. Before we came to faith in Jesus Christ, it was the Spirit of God who worked to make us aware of our need for a Savior. This was the first step of our move toward Christlikeness, or conformity to the image of God’s Son.

2. Discipleship. Once we have placed faith in Christ, the Holy Spirit begins the process of discipleship, which refers to steady spiritual growth and increasing knowledge of Scripture.

3. Missions. God wants His followers to go forth into the world and spread the good news of Jesus Christ. Believers have the privilege of representing His grace to all people.

Transformation is a key to our becoming like the Lord Jesus Christ. Though we will never attain perfection in this life, the journey towards Christlikeness is important—it’s the way we develop into mature, active believers in Him.

The Holy Spirit is our guide. Thank God today for His goodness in providing a perfect Teacher to lead you on this exciting journey of faith.

Looking forward to another great day!
