Wow.  We have had a month.

Patty was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis after a bout with digestive tract challenges. She is now somewhat stabilized and back to work. Although she has had some difficult medicine coping adjustments, she is learning what works and what doesn’t. Thanks to ALL for your difference-making prayers. Now we have two people in the same house on steroids … interesting! (She’ll wean herself off soon)

I go back to Dr. G. today for another round of my medicines.

The side-effects have been the challenge. Numbness in my feet and strange things happening to my ears are the biggies. If YOU are healthy, be grateful and take good care of yourself.

In being ashamed of my petty self-pity parties, I have concluded that I don’t want my physical condition to DEFINE me. Although aches and pains demand ongoing focus, I am choosing rather to put other opportunities in the driver’s seat. Grace helps!

HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT! Paul said he had learned contentment with whatever level of financial provision was made to him. May I apply the same principle to whatever level of physical discomfort I experience? Whether aches and pains abound or not, I seek to find contentment. I also continue to seek a miraculous healing to be lifted above the fray of life.

The world conditions are changing. Our nation is changing. My physical health is changing. So … I say …

Maranatha! Come quickly, Lord Jesus
