I hear your words and feel your heart. Celebrate life. I thank G-d every day for the gift of another day in this beautiful life. In fact, when I do my daily prayer the last few years, I concentrate on just thanking him for all the specific wonderful things in my life... ❤
:-) I know what you mean. I tend to spend more time on the thankfulness part, myself. And when I get to the "please help me" part, it's more of a "whatever you want, Heavenly Father, I trust you. I'll just appreciate your help in it because I really need it." Life is so interesting, isn't it? Every day is a ride all day long. See you!
Wow! The Lord has really blessed you. I have had some bad depression lately. The Lord does bless me. But I've lost things, and they are really lost. I've prayed really hard. And they are still lost - months later
I'm so sorry to hear that, Joyce. I said some real prayers for you this morning. I'm so glad you're my cousin and I'm always happy to see you here because I feel like I'm getting to know you better. I've had a few things that didn't return too. It kind of reminds me of the Nephites, you know? They put things down and couldn't find them again. I wonder where they go..
Matthew 19:26 says that "...with God, all things are possible", there was never any mention of things being easy. Making the decision for Christ was one of the hardest things I've ever done! Trials and suffering should bring us closer to Him so he can shield us (Psalm 91:4) and comfort us (2 Corinthians 1:3). The devil is watching us, and as we grow in God's love, he will pull out all the stops to dreail us and pull us down to his level. I've fought depression since I was 19 - I'm 65 now - and the only time I was not on medication was when I was pregnant with my only son. The enemy came at me with, "Well, if you were a better Christian, you wouldn't NEED medication" more than once. Nearly had me, too, but Gods voice was louder, and I saw the devil for what he is - a liar who came to kill, steal, and destroy ME (John 10:10). The roll basket - I love that and totally get it! My son and i will say "the prayer" when we can't find something - " Jesus, Jesus, come around, something's lost and can't be found." It's a silly prayer because it asks Him to "come around" - He's ALWAYS around! He's ALWAYS near! But I gotta tell ya, that little prayer hasvNEVER failed me! Rozanne! Me too! My heart hurts for the people who think that this is it. That this life here on earth is all there is. I can't wait to be in the Lord's presence, just worshiping Him all day. How awesome that will be. I, too, have felt that my family would be better off if I wasn't here, but knowing in my heart that God has work for me here has kept me here - and will keep me here - until He calls me home. I enjoyed the walk around your neighborhood VERY much! ...nice and chilly! ...or maybe that's this ice cream I'm eating. Yeah, maybe that's what it is! My son and I are going to Indiana in about six weeks, THEN I'll know what cold is!! 🥶 Hugs, my friend! MK 🤗❤️🌵❤️🤗
I'm proud of you that you decided to follow Christ, MK. I can see it every time you make a comet. You're a wonderful person. I've been on medication for it forever, but mostly because I can Lamictal, which helps Fibromyalgia. I also take Trazodone - also for Fibro. They have the side benefit of being anti-depressants so they really smoothed me out. I started taking them in 2004. Medical progress is a wonder. I believe that the Lord is the source of all light and knowledge and that includes medication knowledge, as well. He blessed his children in all sorts of ways. People just don't understand that as they should ( as least, that's what I think).
Rozanne, thank you for sharing your testimony of your faith of the Lord and I really enjoyed it my friend, and it brought tears to my eyes, too. I am so glad you had a great Thanksgiving with your Family and have a wonderful weekend. God bless and take care.
Thanks Kathy. I felt led to do it and when the Lord inspires me, I figure it's best to go along. I think it's been waiting ever since I started with RUclips. It feels good to have finally shared it. God bless you too!

I used to live in Provo. I do not miss snow. It’s pretty but so messy
It is for sure - especially when it turns to slush! So glad to meet you!

Thanks!
