O Poor Little Me!

I fell and broke my right arm. I am right handed and my cast is very heavy. I can’t leave my left side alone either because from my back all the way down to my toes, is taken over by that mean woman arthritis. So, it’s hard to walk, and my cast is so heavy it is awfully hard to do anything. But do I say “poor little old gal” and make it hard for anyone taking care of me?/ Not after I watched another lady have two casts put on, one on each arm. She really can’t do much, can she? After that, I read again the story in the Bible about Paul, when he was beaten and finally tossed into a cave and was bound in chains. He most surely had the right to say, “poor man am I,” He hadn’t done anything except talking to people about Jesus.

He , and Silas, a man who was with him, started to sing and praise the Lord. It was midnight and many of the other prisoners woke up listening to them. Can you imagine that? ,Suddenly there was an earthquake and the chains fell off them, The guards were yelling and screaming. They were scared to death that the prisoners would get away. Paul cried as loud as he could, “We are all here!” And that’s how Paul stood his suffering.

let’s take a long look at our Savior, Jesus. Who suffered more for who? You, that’s who! There isn’t any person in the whole world, from. every generation, that wasn’t invited. He forgave all of our sin that day. He was arrested, beaten by strips of leather with nails at the end, so no person could recognize Him. Finally, He was crucified, nailed to a cross and died, He rose from the dead on the third day, which we call Easter. To love him, to ask for forgiveness and know that He is the Son of God is all you have to do to begin your new happy life. Why don’t more folks accept His invitation?

So, now I am asked to suffer a little and I am blessed, My son lives with me and takes good care of my needs, One of my daughters comes over to give me a bath, and the other one does everything my son forgets. What else does a 96 year old widow neeed? It is quite difficult to type these days so my blog will be shorter for a while.
