I’ve had bad and difficult experiences in life, as everyone else has as well. When those past experiences “haunt” me I pray, I sing aloud or in my mind praise songs to God, I count my blessings here and now. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It helps to different degrees at different times. I know that there is a better life after this and try to keep that thought in my mind. I am in poor physical health at the age of 77 and try to remember how blessed I am knowing things could and may be more difficult in the future. This may seem like a negative way of thinking. But I see it as reality of life. I am thankful for every day of life and know any day could be my last.                                  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Having been in health care as a RN has given me insight on just how blessed I am to be in my own home for now, walk at all with a walker, get to the bathroom without assistance, eat what I choose rather than what a “nursing home” sits in front of me, go to bed and get up as I choose, have my own bedroom. The list of blessings is endless… I know that God is in control. And I just have to believe God is watching over me, and I do. When fear creeps into my heart I tell my heart “God is in charge”. And I quote the Bible passage:”  Lord I believe, please help my unbelief”. And God does. My life could change however in a \u201cheartbeat\u201d. All of ours could. I again remember the Bible passage reminding us the \u201csufficient is the evil for the day\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 6:34   Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philippians 4:8   \u201cFinally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

John 14:2   \u201cIn my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This earthly home is not our final home. A better day is coming for those believing and giving their lives to our creator God.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
