Dh and I went this morning to see BIL and it was very pitiful, he had a drip going into his temple and several going into each arm and oxigen going into his nose and tube going down his throat. I talked to him and his eyes would blink but of course he could not talk. He kept blinking his eyes likehe wanted to let me know he was hearing me. Dh andI prayed for him before we left, and while I prayed he it looked he was crying. I felt so sorry for him, my sister asked him later if he remembered us coming and he moved his head just a bit to indicate no. I really am afraid that he may not come home;. His kidneys are not working and his muscles are atrophying (sp). Just sad. And my sister is going up there every day to sit with im and she will be 69 in a few weeks. This is wearing her out.
When we left there we stopped by aldis and I bought lots of low carb meats and veggies. I bought a huge bag of pork skins. Zero carbs, eggs, 0 carbs and I bought green beans and mushrooms and a lettuce and other salad vegetables and two low carb dressings. I am psyched about this way of eating, I don't get hungry and if I do I go get something. And I am full of energy, And I am losing weight.
One of my followers has left me, I hope I did not say anything to hurt her. If I did I am so sorry.
Now for something that I want to discuss with my internet friends.
My husband likes the church we go to, I really do not. The Sunday School teacher is so dry and he laughs at the most inappropriate times and at the most unfunny things.
Thats not all-but with everything my dh still wants to go there. So give me advice, I could start talking about it to him, but knowing how he feels should I mention it?
O God, You are my God;
Early will I seek You;
My soul thirsts for You;
My flesh longs for You
In a dry and thirsty land
Where there is no water,
So I have looked for You in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and Your glory,
Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise You.
Thus I will bless You while I live;
I will lift up my hands in Your name.
My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness,
And my mouth shall praise you with joyful lips.
Psalm 63: 1-5
Sleep well everyone
God bless

That's very pitiful about your BIL, Joy. God help him and your sister. Good score at Aldis! I wish there was one closer to hear. I like hearing that you are psyched! It makes me excited.
ReplyDeleteAbout your church situation: does your DH know how you feel? Maybe you could ask him how he feels about the teacher's behavior. You could ask him specifically what he likes about the church, and ask him if he's open to looking at other churches. That's just my advice, but I'll be praying for you.
Love you, and God bless!
God bless your family and your BIL. I know it is tough.
ReplyDeleteAs to church, Josie's advice was very good. I would also make it a point to pray for that teacher. And remember that all of us in church are sinners saved by grace, working through our flaws.
Hey, Joy. I've been praying for your BIL. His condition sounds dire. I am so sorry.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog; I am grateful for your prayers, especially since you're having such a painful time yourself.
My littl Kenna is continually asking to come to visit us...and continually told that she cannot. Pleas pray that God keeps her heart from being wounded during this time. She's only four years old.
