This is a time of year when all the things our family has done or said over the years, comes to mind, and for some of us that isn't all great memoryes, This a tough time of year I have been sucidal in my life and it was in Nov. the Dr. told my it was the worst time of year Nov. - Jan. the son shine is shorter, the family that perhaps didn't get it right for us, comes around and they don't know why we don't try to get along. what ever it is this is the worst time statisticly.

donp has had a wonderfull Thanksgiving, the attitude of grattitude is all through his writings, I am so glad for him and his family, and I wish all of us that great of a break through, I have a x-son-in-law that the mear thought of him, is difficult! he has made such a mess of my family, I am determined not to allow that, when I think of him, I say to myself, "I can forgive him! as Jesus forgave all those who persecuted him, through Christ I can forgive my x-son-in-law. and it gives me peace, but there were years when thinking of him only gave me greife, I am past that and now I have that peace that passes all understanding, I know God can fix it, like he has done for others he can do for me. I just have to get out of the way and let go and let God, the battle is his not mine. I will be prepared so that when he repents and confesses Christ is Lord I can accept it, I can allow him to put on the new man and change towards me. So I am praying for all of us! "For it is written"

Look to God
Don't look to others to meet your needs - look to God. Anything people may do to you, God can fix.
"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Chris Jesus -PHILIPPIANS 4;19 KJV

We all hve available to us the one and only ting that we truly need - the love of Jesus Christ. In fact, His opinion of us is the only one that really counts!

Who shall sparate us from the love of Christ! shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famin or nakedness or danger or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am onvinced that neither death nor life, neither anges or demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - ROMANS 8"35, 37-39 NIV

God loves us so much, how can we doubt him, but we all do in some way, even then He forgives us. Thank You for Your Love, and Grace! Amen

Cheri and don, I am not doing very well today. Some guy came to the bakery and I don't know him really but know his wife and work with his daughter. She knows of my struggles now with my husband. Anyhow he asked me about him and I started getting teary eyed and said I had to get back to work and broke down. He said he'd call Mike and he did call him tonight to say he was praying for him Cheri, what you said about patience I know is my problem. I've been impatient most of my life. I thought I was getting better but am not handling his constantly running to every Dr. imaginable. Today he went to an eye specialist 2 hrs. away. Tomorrow he's seeing a Cardiologist 1 1/2 hrs. away and next wk. he'll see a Gastronolgist. He just came in here reading about gallbladder again for the l00th (at least) time. I sent him out of here because he kept on. I said please shut the door. It's going on 1am. He doesn't sleep right and then wakes me. Our son will be moving soon and I guess then I could sleep in his bed. I love my husband but this has gone on so long and it's not getting better. He admitted it probably is anxiety now but doesn't work on the program. Well,I need to keep going over it and I was in bed listening to my relax. tape. I actually was coming on here to go to the spiritual topic of Job. I'm wondering how he made it through all that. My scripture I have by my computer is "I wait patiently for God to save me. I depend on him alone. He alone protects and saves me. he is my defender and I shall never be defeated." Ps. 62:1-2 Wow, this time as I read it "I shall NEVER be defeated" jumped out at me. NEVER??? Then why do I feel so defeated. It's like the Lord said, that's it..feel. There's a big difference between facts and feeling. It's a fact from God himself that I will not be defeated no matter what I feel like. Part of these feelings come from stress, too much sugar and being overtired, I'm sure.

"The Lord make His face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee; the Lord LIft up His countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. - Numbers 6;25,26 KJV

Wow we must be touching the throne of God! I have not had such a SNAFU week for a long time. miscomunication with everyone around me. I have had so much practice keeping my peace and knowing who I am, and I can feel the mussels of God's direction in my life. Last night weighting in the car for our daughter's bus, 4 hours late, then the problems when she did get there, I could just hear my old self screeming, and throwing a fit, but "it never happened". The mess happened and there was nothing I could do about it. "I cast my care and my daughter she did too. and my husband he alwas does. now another mess this morning, tickets to the game for cousins, coming to joine us all mis comunicated, I am so tired got home at 3;am, up at 6;am. t\Time to feed the cows. life goes on and Bossy needs us! it didn't snow last night the drouth goes on! The world keeps turning, and I don't even want the the crank any more. My best is not good enough for me, but I now can just say well God is running this show and it isn't going to happen as I expected it to, but it will happen. I admint some of me is dissapointed but not for many minuetes, I know God directs my steps "I shall not want". Now I am intrested in life allmost excited about what will happen next, a big step op from, not carring anymore, it's all such a mess/and "take me home" feelings. Wow, I am loving this.

"Flip on the Switch" of God's Glory. As you leave the house to go through your day, ask the Lord to make His face shine upon you. Ask Him to lift up HIs countenance upon you and give you peace. What you are asking God for is to let others see the light of His glory shining upon you and through you. That can beas simple as putting a smile on your face",

And show your peace, wen no one expects you to be peacefull. My husband loves and respects me more and more, as he sees me calm and relaxed in the presence of a SNAFU situation. Wow!!! I love this Thank you God! Awmen

Dear Barb,

I know I have no kept up with the Big forum in awhile...but I just read you latest post and reading between the lines... I have a couple of books I would recommend to you and your husband: STOP WORRYING ABOUT YOUR HEALTH (don't know the author), and Imp of the Mind by Baer, also- WORRY, by Hallowell. That's a start.

If your husband has some form of OCD (obsessive worry about his health) take the internet OUT of the house,

and get him to see a specialist for OCD. If I have misinterpreted-forgive me, Carolyn
