**SPIRITUAL** A DAY AT A TIME
05/06
REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
So many of us suffer from despair. Yet we don't realize that despair is purely the absence of faith. As long as we're willing to turn to God for help in our difficulties, we cannot despair. When we're troubled and can't see a way out, it's only because we imagine that all solutions depend on US. The Program teaches us to LET GO of overwhelming problems and LET GOT handle them for us. WHEN I CONSCIOUSLY SURRENDER MY WILL TO GOD'S WILL, DO I SEE FAITH AT WORK IN MY LIFE?
TODAY I PRAY
May I be free of despair and depression, those two "down D's" that are the result of feelings of helplessness. May I know that I am never without the help of God, that I am never helpless when He is with me. If I have faith, I need never be "helpless and hopeless."
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Despair is the absence of faith.
..Boy, that's a GOOD ONE... my momma got very sick Sunday.. she went to the dr yesterday. She had a catscan done.. something turned up, but I'm not sure what or where. I talked to her last night and she was in bed, so I didn't want to disturb her too much. I'll talk to her today and try to get more info. She has another dr appt today (or trying to get her in) and they may schedule her for a colonoscopy. Please keep her in thoughts and prayers!!
I just talked to her.. and she said that the catscan showed some thickening in the upper colon. She said she does still have some pain in that area.. fatty part of left side of waist (kinda up high). Her family doctor is suppose to be getting her into a specialist.. and she's waiting on a callback. However, they are not the most thorough office.. so she said she may call them her soon to see what's going on.
If she is like me.. it's time to get in there and get it done. No ***** footing around... half the fear is the unknown.
Thanks Barb.. and as I hear more I'll let you all know
