Highs -n- Lows Living with the Disease

Another Beautiful Morning!
The last couple of days I've been trying to get rid of sores in my mouth.  Hopefully they will heal soon...

Paul had his Dr appointment yesterday...they took xrays and told us he has arthritis in his knees.  So his first step is to try to take pain medication every three hours.  If that doesn't help him then he could go back in and they will give him a steroid shot.

After Paul's appointment we stopped to pick up flowers to plant in the pots on our deck.  We picked up Kaylee to help us plant the flowers and spent a few hours outside planting them.  We still need a few more flowers...

Today, I take grandma Faye to the Dr. and stop to see grandma Gloria.  I'll stop to pick up some food from McDonalds for grandma Gloria.  :-) She likes the shakes and hamburgers.

I am so thankful for what I can do...

Jesus, the Perfect God-Man
By Charles Stanley
Read | John 20:30-31

People’s attitudes toward Jesus Christ tend to fall into three categories. First, there are some who don’t believe He is God. They reject, diminish, or ignore His character and lifesaving work, claiming He was simply a good person. Second, there are some who intellectually acknowledge Jesus is God’s Son but have no personal relationship with Him. Third, true followers believe Christ is Savior (Rom. 10:9). Through genuine faith, believers are made part of His family.

Ephesians 2:1-2 says that before salvation, we all are spiritually dead and living according to our sin nature. Those who don’t have a personal relationship with Jesus remain in that state. But when a person places faith in Him, spiritual birth takes place; he or she is made alive in Christ and becomes a new creation who is no longer to live according to the flesh (John 3:3; Eph. 2:5; 4:24).

Our position in the Lord affects everything about us—attitudes, emotions, conversation, and conduct. The ungodliness of our culture no longer fits who we are. As believers, we are to grow in Christlikeness, embracing ideas, thought patterns, and activities that please God, while rejecting all others.

Jesus is the perfect God-man, who willingly took our sins upon Himself and experienced divine wrath in our place. God accepted His death as full payment for our sins, and He raised Jesus from the dead to a position of divine glory (Eph. 1:20). His Spirit now lives within us. So understand who Jesus Christ is, and let that knowledge strengthen your commitment to be like Him.

Looking forward to another great day...
