Tracy.... thanks for the song.
Hens.... hope and pray you are not angry today.
Dekrator... Well it's about time!! I have been anxiously awaiting to hear about your trip. It sounds like you and hubby had a great get away. Very well needed I am sure. Being good to yourself is fun. I am so pleased to hear. Thanks for sharing. Yummy eats. Now I need to go home and have a taste of Chicago. I miss the food there, and I seem to always be hungry when I go home. Rest... When I go on vacation I need a vacation when I get back!

What a great birthday, no sarcasm here... I am HAPPY that I am finally getting IV therapy, which I KNOW will help me.
I feel great peace about this. All day long, I have felt God's hand and peace in this.
As I read about anger and hurt, I, too, have felt that.
I have wondered, where is God?
But, I have noticed that when I indulge that type of thinking, it is a slow descent into a bad place.
SO, I have tried to be diligent in closing the door whenever those types of discouraging thoughts try to pound their way into my brain.
I find a distraction, or I just tell God that I am discouraged and to please give me the courage to keep my self on the "upper road" to health.
I don't mean to sound trite, because I UNDERSTAND how hard this is... I live it. I have felt like I wanted to die.
I feel such compassion for each of you, and I am grateful that we can express our true feelings.
May God give you peace through these trials.

MDW,
Thanks! Yes, we did have a wonderful time. We never run out of things to do there.
What foods did you eat in Chicago that you miss?
sjo,
Happy, happy birthday to you!!!!
May this birthday be the beginning of a wonderful healing year.
I understand what you are saying about being happy to get your picc line...I felt that way when I started treatment with oral meds.
You are strong and hopeful and that is a wonderful gift.
Lord, thank you for giving sjo peace and hope.
Please continue to strengthen her and uplift her so she can make it through this difficult time.
Lord, please grant her healing and comfort. I ask this in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

God Thought Friends,
I have been quite busy the past few days with family. We've been in Florida visiting our son, his wife, and our two granddaughters since last Wednesday. It's been a great vacation. Today is the official birthday of my granddaughter who turned one year old...sjo same birthday as yours. Blessings to you!!!
Everyone is in bed now, and I will hit the hay soon too, however I wanted to catch up on your posts and see how you're doing, see what's up/the latest news, and see what God is up to in your lives.
I do appreciate everyone being real (and I'm sure you all do too) and then it was wonderful to see the turn...to hope...to faith...to God...all just as real, if not more so!
As I read all of your posts, ALL OF YOUR POSTS, WOW...God is always up to something good!!! And you all are living testimonies to that.
Well, friends, it is time for me to go to sleep...5 AM will be here soon enough...and hubby and me have a plane to catch.
Praying each of you sleep well, get a healing night's rest, wake up counting your many blessings.
Now onto this week's God Thought.

Happy birthday, sjo!
I just love the insight you've shared in this most recent post. And thank you for sharing your heart in this way. I trust that many of us have taken away great insight into thinking/thoughts and how they play a role in our view of God, our relationship with Him and also our very own health!
Cheers!

Greetings neller,
I so agree with what you shared with sjo.
On the subject of, "...thinking/thoughts..."
Just yesterday I finished a book, "Your Health-Your Choice" by Dr. M. Ted Morter, Jr., and it focused on toxins in the food we eat.
However, the one sentence in the book that stood out to me the most was this, "Stress-producing thoughts are the most potent toxin producers in the body. Foods are in second place."
All I can say is WOW! Makes sense.
Cheers back at ya!
