Highs -n- Lows Living with the Disease

Another Beautiful Morning!

Yesterday, I received a call from my cousin, Ann, updating me on my grandma Ruth's condition.  Ann said grandma woke up at midnight and started talking to those spending the night with her.  Talking about where she was born and her childhood.  Grandma also said she talked with my dad and grandpa.  I would love to have heard their conversation. :-).   You see, my dad and grandpa passed away several years ago.
Grandma has had a full recovery.  She was out of bed walking the halls, eating and visiting with family. My grandma is 95 years old. Today, Grandma is being transferred to a nursing home.  She has lived by herself up until going into the hospital...God isn't through with my grandma yet :-)

I am so thankful for my family and friends...

Christ: The Key to Contentment
By Charles Stanley
Read | Philippians 4:6-7

While in prison, Paul penned precious words about the sufficiency of Christ. We tend to attach the idea of contentment to beach vacations and mountain retreats, but the apostle wrote that we are not to be anxious in any place or at any time, because we have the Lord's peace.

Contentment is the believer's "birthright." Peace is part of the spiritual fruit that's ours when we trust in the Savior (Gal. 5:22). Scripture describes it as an inner peace that passes all understanding (v. 7).

Jesus lived through conflict with a sense of inner quiet, and because of His indwelling Spirit, that remarkable calm also belongs to God's children. That is important because there are times when we come across a problem with no earthly solution. In situations like that, we learn that self-sufficiency is a lie. We can't cope alone, but Christ is enough for us.

Here is the flip side of the coin: "'There is no peace for the wicked,' says the LORD" (Isa. 48:22). Modern culture slaps the word wicked onto only the most vile of actions and people, but God's definition is much broader. The wicked are those who willfully reject His right to forgive their sins and take Lordship over their life. If you are not a believer, you cannot experience true and lasting contentment.

When we are born again (John 3:3-8), we become children of the living God and rightful heirs to every good thing that He has to offer. This includes the deep, inner peace and joy that can withstand any trial. What can man do to the one who belongs to the Lord (Heb. 13:6)?

Looking forward to another great day...
