With that said, I feel I should at least throw up a flare and let you all know I am alive but just busy at the moment.
It never fails to happen that when I plan for something, a whole bunch of other somethings come up to interfere.
I've said before also that I have medical issues which cause me to struggle with what others might consider normal easy things even at age 61.
For me, winter prep involves firewood chores and other things that are strenuous to my physical body, and at the whim of my body's willingness to engage in it. I have some scheduled visits this week and probably more from that appointment onward, besides my regular visits to specialists over the months to come.
Rest and sleep are vague goals that involve perpetual shimmying to find positions that don't hurt until I am exhausted enough to finally go under. I battle irritability every day, and it is the lesson I am learning in patience and quietness and gentleness.
I don't say this for sympathy's sake, only to let you know why I must postpone some of my intended work to come, here on this blog. I will take your prayers though if you feel inclined and they are appreciated.
All too soon winter will be here, and I won't have the luxury of movement I have in spring through autumn. I will balance this though, with praise and thanksgiving to God the Father and the Son Jesus for the provision and blessing my wife and I do have.
So, thank you in advance for your grace and for your prayers.
Grace and Peace to you all in Christ Jesus our Lord!
Thank you. It is a privilege to pray for my brother. May the Lord give you relief from ailments and needed sleep. Take care of yourself. 🙏
ReplyDeleteYou are in my prayers for patience, strength, healing, and sleep! God bless you! 🙏
ReplyDeletePrayers out Bro. Love and regards. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteGood onya Jack, will pray as led of course. I'm 64 now, still have my business, working a second job a few nights a week, and Elder/Pastor at my Church. Then there's Grandpa duties (my favorite), I don't think I'll ever get to retire, but if that's God's plan then I'm okay with it. Nelly is good, we have nine grankids now (most recent addition was mid August, a boy named Jack McDonald). Blessings mate.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to hear brother! :) Praying for you also!
