All it took was one hard drug (the prescription variety) and suddenly I can function a few more hours each day. PRAISE THE LORD!
First up: finish cleaning the house to keep the risk for exposures down. Dust/mold/smells can trigger significant sickness if I don’t so gratefully I got it done today.
Second: keep up with scheduled treatments and keep trying to add in items that are recommended for me.
Third: organize medications, oils, supplements, and medical supplies that have spilled over to various locations in our home. Prepare items to donate that are no longer needed.
Fourth: begin the next filing projects needed to gather our tax records.
Fifth: prepare tax records for filing with our accountant.
For the first time in a very long time, I am making progress a “To Do” list. Lord willing tomorrow I will dig into number four. Dang this feels good!
God created our world with a masterful order, hierarchy, time table, and purpose all to bring Him glory. He knows and sees and orchestrates and cares for every minute detail of life as we know it. We get to see His handiwork: look closely and you will find it as nature wakes up again this Spring. We get to participate in the majesty of life as His children whom He dearly loves. While we will never duplicate the perfect order of the stuff and events of our lives, perfection is not our calling (it’s His!). So the stuff stacked neatly on our microwave instead of the kitchen counter is just alright with me. Perhaps we would agree that our lives do simply work better when things are cleaner and neater?
Lift up your eyes on high And see who has created these stars, The One who leads forth their host by number, He calls them all by name; Because of the greatness of His might and the strength of His power, Not one of them is missing. Isaiah 40:26
Perhaps then I will submit my wittle accomplishments today to the Lord as alms of worship and thanksgiving for the gains He has granted in my health. I am making progress in a perfect path created by my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And that is all it took to make some sense of my world on a Sunday.
Let’s add a little encouragement, a little promise also from Isaiah 40 for those who are weary this night:
31 but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
Isn’t that just wonderful Gentle Reader? JJ
