Highs -n- Lows Living with the Disease

Another BEAUTIFUL Day!

We made it back home at around 11:15pm last night.  Our flight was delayed at the Phoenix airport, we waited for the plane to arrive for around 4 hours.  Finally got on our way and landed at the Sun County Airport in the Cities at around 8:40pm. By the time we got our bag and was driven to our car, it was late. :-(    This morning I have sores all over my face again...not sure if it's from the sun, uv or airport lighting??? :-(  Still swollen and in pain this morning.

Today, I'm unpacking, going through mail, cleaning and doing laundry.  At 1:15pm we run to Rochester for Paul's Dr appointment.

Back to reality.  I'm thinking about running over to see grandma Gloria tomorrow.  She hasn't been eating very good again.  :-(  I also need to start working on our taxes, not my favorite thing to do.

It will be good to see the kids and grandkids, Kaylee and Gracie.  Christine said Gracie was growing fast.  She was already in size 3 to 6 month clothing.  :-)

So thankful for family and friends...

Today's Bible Study

Created to Love Others
Read | Mark 12:28-34

Loving our neighbor is a biblical mandate and the foundation for the Golden Rule, but the phrase is not complete without the last two words: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:31, emphasis added). If we are to be vessels used for pouring out the Father’s love on others, we must always be unselfish in our concern for them.

Regardless of how we act or feel, our Father loves us perfectly. The proof is in John 3:16, which says God loved mankind so much that He gave His Son to die for their sins. And He did this while all human beings were still His enemies (Rom. 5:8-10)! No one is worthy of the sacrifice Christ made, and yet the Father’s perspective is that we are worth it. If He considers each of us that valuable, then we ought to look at others the same way.
Experiencing God’s love should inspire us to love our neighbors—this includes everyone in our sphere of influence, although some are easier to love than others. Throughout the gospels, Jesus repeated the command to His disciples, probably because He knew how often His followers, both then and now, would run into people who are difficult to love. But we are most like God when we ask, How can I serve this person? What is in his or her best interest?

Though we’ll encounter people who seem unlovable, the commandment stands: We are to love them as ourselves. This is a powerful evangelism tool. Few can resist the attraction of a loving friend acting on behalf of the perfectly loving Friend. Who among your neighbors needs to feel loved today?

Looking forward to another great day...
