HANDICAPPED?
H- handicap – something that makes it difficult to do well.
A -always having to accept the help of others, instead of helping others.
N-not being able to do the things you want.
D-dreams given up, that will never come true.
I-ideas that will never come to pass.
C-care of others that you cannot do.
A-appreciation that consumes you, when others do things for you.
P-prayer for patience, strength, and wisdom.
PLS – Praise the Lord in Song
I am learning:
H- healing of the mind comes in accepting.
A-any trial that God gives He also gives with it, grace to accept it.
N- never give up hope. Without hope one cannot go on.
D-dreams can change.
I-I am blessed with the love of a family.
C-cares and worries go away, when given to God.
A-Always give thanks for the blessings I have, which are many.
P- Pray for others who have it much worse than I.
These are thoughts that come to me as I sit and watch others do the things I used to love and I still love to do, if I could. I’m sure God loves me and there is a reason for this. Although, today is Labor Day and as my daughter-in-law and my grand daughter prepare this evenings picnic in my kitchen. I wonder if they know how much I long to be out there with them. Or, since I can’t do it, if they know how much I appreate them and are thankful for them. I have never felt the all consuming feeling of appreciation, that I’ve learned recently. I wonder when can I repay them. Have I done anything to deserve the love they show?

A very good message … and I’m sure they can feel your appreciation. It reminds me of our SS lesson on Sunday … in my own words … If you are suffering, pray about it. If you are happy, sing praisees to God.
RYC – let me know how many you want, and I’ll take care of it.
I have an aunt that is 93 and still living on her own. I go into town to clean for her every now and then and drop off a meal becauce she doesn’t cook any more. Just to hear her say ” I wish I could do for myself” breaks my heart . But when I hear her say how much she appreates the things I do for her, that’s all the thanks I need. Trust me, your family knows how your feeling and they don’t mind a bit giving you a hand. As far as the thier love goes, they do these things because they love you, not because they have to. Love goes much further then we give it credit for. May God continue to bless you and your family.
Sent with a big hug,
