Is anyone else having a challenge of doing things scriptural, verses what the secular world says. As in scripture says to put others before me whereas the secular world says put me first. I know what is right, just wondering if others may struggle with this. And how do we mourn the loss of ourselves without sinking into depression? How do we have joy in the midst of our trials and tribulations? It seems that as time passes my patience doesn't hurt as much, (must be experience), but still everyday I start wearing down where my patience begins to hurt a little and I am struggling not to let it be seen. I spend a lot of time in prayer and in the word, that is the only way I have the strength to do this, putting myself aside. But as a faulty human being, I am still in a struggle and seek like minded individuals who understand. May God bless all those who are loving their loved ones to the best of their ability.
Ecclesiastes 12:13
Psalms 27:4-5 One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in his temple. For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock. What lovely scripture, smeshque. Yes, my friend and her new little one came home yesterday. These, like you, are a wonderful, Godly group of friends, as are YOU!
And, I feel nourished from your scripture posted.
And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Philippians 4:19
Hope you have a very blessed evening and day tomorrow.
Much love and prayers
The apostle Paul had a thorn in his side, that he practically begged God to remove from him. God told Paul that HIS grace was sufficient.
It is a thought that maybe those things I never seem to improve upon, will always be the way it is. That God's grace is sufficient on the matter, and I must learn how to live well with it. Not letting it hinder me from my purpose and love for the Lord.
I think of you all through my day, knowing that I am not alone in the struggles I face and go through. Praying for you all to have strength and the love of God upon you.
I just keep telling myself, I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. That means anything, that is HIS word.
Much love to all my fellow caregivers, especially LL
2 Chronicles 16:9
For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
you are such a sweet friend. I am blessed that our paths have crossed. You are ever so thoughtful and I wish I could give you a big hug. Your words have brought me much joy and put a smile on my face, for such love and kindness.
I do hope to bestow edification to you as well, as you are always edifying to me. Much love and prayers for you my dear friend. I hope your dental visit went well and you did not have to put any fires out. (HUG)
No, that was a different office complex~~~no putting out of fires required.
My only goals are to Love the Lord God with all my being, my neighbor as myself, and to hear those words.
Thank Jesus that we do not have to be perfect because that is impossible. But we strive to be like him, and do our best. And our best should always get better, as we grow and learn.
My Mom appreciates the hugs :)
May God bless you in whatever is going on in your life.
Many blessings are caring wishes I send your way.
Romans 8:18
“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”
When you want to delete what you posted, or correct it, click the edit button once posted in error.
Backspace everything, or just about everything. The challenge is to replace what you have said, because one cannot just delete the whole thing and then not post something when you are in the delete mode. Then, be sure to post edits.
Nothing you have posted is worrisome, and you never know who is praying, reading, but not posting.
Maybe there are other easier ways, but that is what I do when "editing" needs to be done.
I have to wait and review what I have written, often the auto-correct says things that I would never say. I think you get 20-30 minutes to edit....
A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
Just remember, if this life was perfect, we would not look forward to heaven.
Many prayers are going out for all you caregivers.
I hope you all press on through any challenges this week.
Much love.
