Very thankful to wake up feeling relatively normal and with marginal nausea! Walked 2 miles and ran errands before my nurse check up -That wore me out! - but glad to feel "normal tired." All my blood levels were good - yay!

We have a friend who lost his dear wife recently. Over Christmas, his adult daughter thought she had a sinus infection. Long story - short version -- she was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer which metastisized to her brain......they are trying to control the cancer in the brain....no symptoms, no warnings......Please pray for this man....
Friends - no matter how awful your day has been,
how many obstacles you face,
the dead ends that are before you -
it could be so much worse.....
Give thanks that you have your problems and not worse problems!
Give thanks for the blessings that God has given you -
Give thanks for the obstacles in your life that are strengthening and growing you
and if you are having a really rotten day/life and can't think straight
Give thanks that Christ took the punishment for your screw ups so that you can be in heaven
with Him when this life is finished!
Make a point of thanking God.......
It will shift your focus from your problems to your God.
Focusing on God will
will give you His strength rather than your own........
I love Phil 4:6-7 and the Message translation is great:
Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
It could be so much worse! Give thanks!
