Isaiah:40:31

Sometimes we must remember the low spots in our life to appreciate the highs. In January of 1991 I was confined to a wheelchair in the veterans hospital. I had sustained a spinal cord injury that left me unable to walk plus a bonus of great pain in my arms,legs &feet. To relieve the pain in my feet I would wheel outside & stick my bare feet in the snow. On one such occasion another fellow crashed into me in his wheelchair. Kind of made me mad. He began to talk to me about all that he had been through.open heart surgery,diabetes & the amputation of both legs. He ended the conversation with praises to GOD. Wow! I still had my legs & a promise from GOD that I would walk again. I never seen that guy again but I have not forgotten him or his joy that bannered above his afflictions. Did GOD send him? I believe he did. I bring this up once in a while that someone else might be lifted up as I was. I still have many physical problems but today I rejoice over the sure mercies of my Lord. May he find you rejoicing also. Love & prayers; Bro. stubby.

  1. Just like our Mommas always said, "there's always someone worse off than yourself"! We all can count our many blessings from God up above everyday and find joy to walk a few more miles.
