Know God, Know Peace, No God, NO Peace
I have had a lot going on in my life lately, I have been in extreme pain, I live in pain daily since my Brain Stem Stroke and I just go on daily. Lately, however, the pain is so severe and I pray I can get relief from it soon. The biggest problem outside of health issues, is my computer, It has a bad case of strep throat. Brother Bill called this am and is on his way to pick it up and try to resolve the situation. He realizes that my computer and telephone are my only lines to the outside world. He knows how much I miss my StrokeNet group and posting and reading the Message Boards, I miss my Chat, etc. So, answer to prayer, he is coming over to check it all out. The snow stayed away today and he is driving as I speak.
I saw this today and it sums everything up and I wanted to share it with you.
A young man was at the end of his rope, seeing no way out, he dropped
to his knees in prayer "Lord, I can't go on," he said.
"I have too heavy a cross to bear."
The Lord replied, "My son, if you can't bear its weight,
just place your cross inside this room. Then, open that
other door and pick out any cross you wish."
The man was filled with relief and said,
"Thank you Lord," and he did as he was told.
Upon entering the other room, he saw many crosses;
some so large the tops were not visible. Then,
he spotted a tiny cross leaning against a far wall.
"I'd like that one, Lord," he whispered.
The Lord replied, "My son, that is the cross you just brought in."
When life's problems seem overwhelming, it helps to look around
and see what other people are coping with. You may consider
yourself far more fortunate than you imagined.
YOUR CROSS
Whatever your cross
Whatever your pain
There will always be sunshine
After the rain
Perhaps you may stumble
Perhaps even fall
But God's always there
To help you through it all.
I don't know what my life would be without having GOD in my life. He is my all. I, first hand, received a Miracle from him five years ago. I am living proof of his greatness.
How about you?
Please keep me in your prayers, and my Computer, also, Lindy, she goes next Thursday to the University of Maryland to visit with her transplant team for her consultation to see if she can be placed on the Liver Transplant List. It has been very hard realizing I could lose her. I have to be strong for her. I love her so much and I know God is carrying her in his loving arms.
Please keep Nancy and her family and Kevin in your prayers along with Cathy and Holly as they are trying to cope and heal with the loss of their loved ones, Amy and Fate.
Keep StrokeNet and Steve in your prayers along with Allen.
Love n Hugs,
Jan
