Luv, I know that you aren’t whining. My Father had a bad case of shingles and we never knew just how bad until years later, after he passed away. In his ‘paperwork’ were many places he had contacted for information on the long lingering pain he suffered! I hope you find some relief!!!

[luvie]

It’s the lasting twinges that I really dread. I’m so sorry your dad suffered so! I shall be getting the vaccine when I’m completely over this. :)

[potlatch]

I’m going to get the vaccine too. I do get a flu shot every year and it has worked well for me. Take care!

[luvie]

Not a bad idea. It’s for life and if it prevents you from this crazy stuff.... I should’a, but I never get the flu shot either. LOL!

Terrifying Moments
April 27, 2013

When our first child was born, my wife, Marlene, was in labor for more than 30 hours, creating tremendous stress for both her and the baby. The doctor, a fill-in for her regular physician, was unfamiliar with her and her pregnancy. As a result, he waited too long to make the decision to perform an emergency Caesarean section, and the resulting trauma put our infant son in the neo-natal intensive care unit. There was nothing they could do to help our baby to overcome his trauma-induced condition.

By God’s grace, Matt recovered—but I cannot remember any moment in my life as terrifying as when I stood by his crib in intensive care. Yet I knew the Lord was near as I talked with Him through prayer.

In the terrifying moments of life (and all the other moments as well) nothing can bring comfort to the hurting heart like the reality of God’s presence and care. The psalmist David wrote, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me” (Ps. 23:4).

When fear is overwhelming, the Lord is there. His comforting presence will carry us through our deepest trials.

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll—
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
“It is well, it is well with my soul.” —Spafford

Peace is the presence of God.

Read: Psalm 23

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. —Psalm 23:4

Bible in a Year:
1 Kings 3-5; Luke 20:1-26

Pretty kitties! My how they’ve grown!
I am so glad you have them. I find my kitties comforting when I am sick, too.

[luvie]

As rambunctious as they can be, they’ve been very gentle lately. I like that! :)

In honor of Cat/Dugurday, Linda-The-Dog and I drove around to a buch of yard sales and then topped it off with a visit to the dog Park.

Ahhhh...SPRING! :-)
