What struggle can be so bad that God can't get you through it? I see people who are dealing with cancer, but you wouldn't know it. I see our troops come home with artificial limbs and think about the sacrifice that they have made and the pain they must have felt. I also see many who have no anger or sadness, just glad to have what they have and another day to enjoy it. Have you ever thought about the phrase, he restores my soul. I have. And at times when I feel like I'm gonna just lose my mind, I think about that phrase. He restores my soul. Is my soul renewed due to the people lifting Jan and I up to the lord, or does the indwelling of the Holy Spirit refresh my mind and soul because I asked? Either way, it works. A life without pain is not promised. A life without struggle is not promised. A helper to get us through the moment is promised if we just recognize him.
Isaish 41 So don't worry, because I am with you. Don't be afraid, because I am your God. I will make you strong and will help you; I will support you with my right hand that saves you.

Well said, Don. Praying that you continue to feel renewed when you most need it! Linda L.
ReplyDeletePraying for that renewal every day! Don, in reference to a past post "Another Bad Sign - Scary!!!", you mentioned wondering when Jan would not know you. She will always know you even though she may not be able to speak your name. There may be times of confusion, but deep within her she will know you are her husband, and she'll know her children and grandchildren. You will know what I mean when that happens. Praying for a good day! Beverly L.
