LOVE..........


My prayer today is, Lord help me to love everybody!
"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." 1st John 4:7-8

 "God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them." 1st John 4:16

Think About It

Image
I was reading a blog on  MS.net titled MS and Jealously.   The blogger talked about sometime being jealous of family, friends, and strangers because they are doing the things that he once did.   However, we all know that once diagnosed things change.   Life as you once knew it is of the past.   He also warned that the anger can turn into depression. MS makes me feel like I am fighting for my life. I also came to the conclusion that, I’m not created to be like everyone else.   With or without MS, I’m different and will stand out in a crowd.   I can’t say much about what I read in the blog because MS has not touched my life in the way that he wrote about. With that being said, I will be extremely careful and extremely aware about what I allow in my mind to think about and what I choose to dwell on. God says in Proverbs 3:27, "as a man thinks in his heart, so is he." God tells us what we should dwell on in Philippians 4:8. “Finally, brothers ...

How Do You Feel?

I belong to this MS site, I can’t remember the name of it.   However, my point is, it always ask the question of “How Do You Feel”? In keeping track of my feelings, today is not a good day.   I find that drama only work if I do.   So guess what, I quit!   My spirit said, stop feeding it. It is living off of you, Ruth. I feel like a light bulb in a dark room, a flower waiting to bloom.   Today I’m feeling like I don’t belong anywhere.   I feel like a door with no knob, a bird with no wings.   I feel bent but not broken. Now, that I got that out of my spirit, I’ll tell you that, MS is a lonely road to travel.   Learning how to be humble hurts. It hurts to the core.   Oh, did I say, today my energy level is so low.   I feel like all I can do is breath & maybe wink my eyes every now & then. The fatigue is so heavy that I don’t think I can wink both eyes, maybe just one of them. God clearly states, “I have given you au...

COMFORT

 and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty     instead of ashes, the oil of joy     instead of mourning, and a garment of praise     instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness,     a planting of the Lord     for the display of his splendor. Isaiah 61:3

Orange in March

I was on  Multiplesclerosis.net and there is a article about loneliness, MS, disability.  It is very powerful & it has some truth to it for me.  I think at some point with a disease that you can't actually see, we all probably feel some sort of isolation.  Without getting into details, it is a good story & worth reading. Guess what time it is?

Don't Go There

Image
I read this interesting article on  Everyday Health that made a good point about germs & assistive devices.   I don’t leave home without my cane and probably have dropped it a thousand times.   I found the article interesting because I never gave it much thought.   It’s ironic that I didn’t because with MS & the immune system being suppressed, I like everything clean.   I laugh at myself because I say that I must have the cleanest hands in town with perpetually washing my hands. I don’t touch public door knobs. That’s to name a couple of things; with most things one might say I’m over the top. Here is the kicker, I worked in a clinic. Work was a constant battle with cleanliness.  God says, “I will save those who love me and will protect those who acknowledge me as Lord. When they call to me, I will answer them; when they are in trouble, I will be with them. I will rescue them and honor them. I will reward them with long life; I will save them...

Words

I believe in the power of words. I was asked, if I say that I don’t have MS then why do I take the medicine?   Several answers to that question. I   don’t say it because:   (1)   I don’t want to be moved by my circumstances (2) I can’t ask God to bless me & then tell Him how (3) As I said, I believe in the power of words (4) I BELIEVE WHAT God says about me. Jesus said, Ruth, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.”   Luke 17:19 then He said, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”   Psalm 139:14 Regarding the power of my words, God said ,” Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”   Proverbs 18:21.   In my own words, I BELIEVE WHAT I SAY & SAY WHAT I BELIEVE!   I don’t go by what I see. It’s already done. “And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are y...

The Gift of a Relationship

Image
The Gift of a Relationship Ruth and I have chosen to put our trust in Jesus not man. When people are faced with a life time of hardships, many will turn to religion, but religion is not the answer, a relationship with Jesus is. I believe that we must develop a relationship with our creator. Religion only gives us guidelines to live by, because religion in no more than rules and regulations to live by. A relationship on the other hand will occupy every part of your being. Relationships are intimate, up close and personal. An intimate relationship with Jesus is no differences from what we have with other closest friends and family members. The only difference is the way we get to know Jesus; through his word ( the Bible ). He already knows us: “ I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb, before you were born I set you apart ” Jeremiah 1:5 . In life people can and often do let us down, things change. Someone might say their willing but when it comes time...
