Jon has the flu again. Hopefully, since he feels a bit better tonight, it's only the 24-hour stomach flu. With the pain medicine being given every 6 hours around the clock, Bill said he wasn't in so much pain as he has been. That's a good thing.
I'd like to share part of a devotional reading for today from "Jesus Calling", by Sarah Young:
Give up the illusion that you deserve a problem-free life. Part of you is still hungering for the resolution of all difficulties. This is a false hope! As I told My disciples, "in the world you will have trouble". Link your hope not to problem solving in this life but to the promise of an eternity of problem-free life in heaven. Instead of seeking perfection in this fallen world, pour your energy
into seeking Me: the Perfect One.
I don't believe that I deserve a problem-free life. No one does. However, the thing I need to remember is that I can't solve all/most of my problems. I need to daily seek the Perfect One and His presence and give my problems to Him to take care of. He'll give me the wisdom I need, if I can do anything about a problem. I'm glad for reminders.
