The Blessing of Friends

These last few months I have been encountering a challenge. Thinking that I am just growing older and aches and pains will come and go I didn't take seriously some pains until they became debilitating. Now I can hardly walk across a room without shortness of breath, exhaustion and feeling sick. So I have resolved not to do anything until my appointment on Wednesday for a heart check.

A battery of other tests were taken last week for which I have yet to learn their results. The test on Wednesday is a nuclear stress test, that should tell us more.

I am asking all my praying friends to ask the Lord for clear results as to the problem and if it be God's will, a solution. I know that all illness has a purpose if only to cause us to trust Christ more.

Today I am praising the Lord for the picnic at a brothers property where we enjoyed good fellowship. Its amazing how small problems seem when surrounded by loving kind and godly people. I cannot thank the Lord enough for this simple but lovely gathering of like minded believers.

John 15:13-15 "13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you."

Acts 2:44-47 "44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved."
