Life is not a rose garden. We face many trials in our live time. It is how we handle them that defines our character.

I can safely say that I have had many trials in my life so far. I could list them, but understand that if you name every kind of doctor there is, I have seen them.

Orthopedic, Urologist, back, Achilles doctor, dermatologist, Heart doctor, Primary doctor, Pain management doctor, Physical therapy, and several others.

I am not trying to whine. I just want you to see that I love the Lord, and the world no matter what happens to me.

I know I am loved by God. I know that He will take care of me.

Something to think about:

God’s power and presence either makes you draw close, or pull you away.

__________________________________________________________________________________

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

I did some ranting in my last post. Sounds like I thought the world was coming to a horrible end.

I will be more optimistic today.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

I am on vacation this week with my family. We are at Sun River, Oregon. A beautiful setting, and lots of fun for everyone.

As I look out the window I see deer grazing. Chipmunks climbing, and people riding their bikes. Perfect weather.

When I see all of this I am thankful for the years I served my country in the military. There isn’t too many countries that have the freedoms that we have. Thank a veteran for that.

Have you had days where you would rather stay in bed all day rather than face the world? I have been there. I won’t go into the reasons I sometimes feel that way, but we need to get past those days.

My way of handling it is pray! I pray to go to help me through the day. I ask him to soften some pain I may be going through. He knows our hurts and disappointments. He loves us, and will answer our prayers.

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

Well, I got COVID-19 AGAIN! This time it wasn’t as bad. I was OK in about three days. I got it from my wife who had been working with several ladies for their nonprofit.

I am glad I got all the shots and boosters, Hard telling what would have happened if I didn’t.

________________________________________________________________________________

I am amazed how many civilian people think the military gets too much funding. What if it was drastically cut? There wouldn’t be money for new weapons. The military wouldn’t get good pay.

I think is would very wrong, and probably have us lose a war.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Summer is really here. Up in the high 80’s all this week. In the nineties next week. Now we will hear people complain that it is too hot. This is after they complained about the rain and cold.

________________________________________________________________________________

Be strong, and of good faith. God is always there for us. He will see us through the cold and the heat 24/7. Never give in to the darkside.

________________________________________________________________________________

You are never alone.

Many Things Cause Pain. We need to Reach out.

It seems that many of us suffer much from, an affliction, lost loved ones, or broken relationships.

All of these cause much pain in our lives.

______________________________________________

How we handle these are what define our character. We can say “poor me,” Or be an encouragement for others. I always say, it is better to have a smile than have a frown. It is much harder work to frown.

______________________________________________

Use that principle in your life. Don’t be a whiner, but be a friend that helps others.

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

Let me get my whining over first.

I’m in great pain My right hip is getting worse by the day. the pain level is 8-10. meds are doing little. One pain killer is helping a little, but not enough.

I have an appointment with a pain management clinic, but that isn’t until end of June.

I am trying to schedule surgery. It is in motion, but it is three months away.

____________________________________________________________________________________

What have your days been like? Frustrating, disappointments, physical pain, not enough money? Many of you have been there I’m sure. What can we do to fight back all this garbage?

It is difficult, at best, to survive in this not so friendly world.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Here is what I have been doing to fight back:

  1. Pray without ceasing. Prayer is powerful
  2. Face the day with courage and persistence.
  3. Never give up.
  4. My formula?

______________________________________________________________________________________

Never forget where abundant love is available for you. That would be our God. He knows your hurts. He knows your pain. He wants the best for you. Pray like He is right next to. Cry out to Him. He will hear your prayer and soothe your pain, hurts, and will give you love.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Remember:

You are not alone.

You are not forsaken.

You are not unloved.

This old guy is really suffering with pain right now. That is why my posting is not consistent. I have arthritis in my right hip area, and the pain is increasing everyday.

I can hardly walk, and the pain is really bad when I try.

Going to see my doctor tomorrow morning to see what we can do.

____________________________________________________________________________________

Have you had struggles with you health lately? Have your days been filled with pain? I certainly can relate to that!

What can we do to overcome the pain and agony?

This is not an easy question to answer. Of course going to a doctor would be an obvious choice, But what if they say it will take several weeks to do the procedure?

The pain will be knocking at your door and won’t leave.

____________________________________________________________________________________

My only advice to turn all your pain over to God. He knows what you are going through He Knows your pain. “Talk” to Him asking Him to relieve your pain. Lean on Him for comfort and peace.

Above all…never, ever, give up!

The Stressful World We Live in, Can Overwhelm You

It is one of those days. I am being overwhelmed with aches and pains. My right hip hurts. My right foot hurts. My back is really bad. Struggling to keep my balance. Other than that I am doing fine.

______________________________________________________________________________________

It has been very hectic and stressful around our home the last two weeks. We had to move everything out of the kitchen, and the den. Then they put in new flooring in the kitchen area, and a new carpet in the den. Looks beautiful. BUT! Then we had to put all the furniture back! Still doing that, but it is all coming back together.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Have you had disruptions come into your life? Were they hectic, and stressful? It seems to happen in all of our lives. What can we do to face all of this?

  1. All things will change.
  2. Each day is a new day.
  3. Face your storms head on.
  4. God for long walks to relieve all stress.
  5. Try to block out all negative thoughts in your head.

__________________________________________________________________________________

Of course the most important thing to remember is that God is with you 24/7. He there when the stress hits. He is there when the darkness comes. He is there when you most need Him.

Always depend on God. He loves you and wants the best for you. Know He has many promises for you. Pray for His protection and love.

Where’s the milk? Out in the garage. Where’s the jam? Out in the garage. Where is the refrigerator? Out in the garage. The stove, and the dishwasher are out there too.

Yes, we are doing a major remodeling of our kitchen. They have torn up the old floor, and today they are starting to put in the new flooring. Then the den will get a remodel! So the TV will be gone, and all the furniture as well. The end product will be beautiful in the end.

__________________________________________________________________________________

Have you had your life disrupted by remolding? Are you trying to make you life better, but have had to move many things from your past to the garage?

It is very difficult to do, I agree, but in the end everything will be beautiful.

We all have time when things need to be changed. A divorce. A lost job. Too many bills. The list goes on and on.

Time to remodel your life. Put in new hope. Put in new freedoms. Pay off those bills. Regroup and remodel after that divorce.

It is very hard work, but the end results is a new you and happiness.

__________________________________________________________________________________

AND remember God is there with you. He knows your hardships. He knows your needs. Talk to Him about it and he will make your paths easier.

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

Getting Older Certainly Is Not For Sissies. Cling to God.

I am having a bad hair day. I fell yesterday and the second day aches and pains are here visiting me. It was at my niece’s house and didn’t see that her living room was a step down to get into it. I hit my grand nephew’s stroller and landed directly on my right knee. It scraped up my knee, but today it is hurting on the inside of knee in the bones as well.

______________________________________________

Have you had some falls? Do you have aches and pains from everyday efforts? You certainly are not alone. For people my age, (82) falling is not an uncommon thing. I am now living with a cane.

______________________________________________

Do not let this drag you down like a huge magnate. We will always have aches and pains.

I could say, “Buck up and quite whining,” But I feel for you. Getting older is not for sissies.

______________________________________________

Here is my list to cling to during my aches and pains:

  1. Remember the pain that Jesus had to go through for us. Our pain is nothing compared to that.
  2. I use my ailments to reach out to others. It helps them, and makes me feel good.
  3. Never let the darkside control your thinking. It is easy to be depressed all the time if you let that happen.

______________________________________________

I know that if you cling to God’s promises the pain won’t feel as bad. He is there for you. He knows your aches and pains. Pray for His protection, and comfort. He listens.

______________________________________________

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

I Didn’t Know That Botox Can Wipe Out Physical Pain

Going to have Botox done in a couple of hours. No, not for beauty, but for a tremor in my left hand. They can now use Botox to calm your tremors to where there isn’t much happening.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Have you needed some special type of treatment to help you survive? Have you had doctors or even friends suggest many things you can do and none of them work?

This is happening to many people these days.

I suggest you pray about this is it is happening to you. God listens and He cares. He can perform miracles for even the smallest thing.

If Jesus can heal everyone for any affliction they have, you know that it can done for you too.

Don’t be shy. Cry out to God and he will take action. It may not be the solution you were looking for, but God knows what is best for each of us.

____________________________________________________________________________________

Suffering is a part of life. Some have more suffering than others. I see so many people I wish I could help in some way to ease their pain, but God knows everything that is going on and deals with suffering.

So, be strong and face the storms of life. God will guide you through them.
