GREATer Love !
"Smile at each other. Smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other-it doesn't matter who it is and that will help you to grow up in greater love for each other"- Mother Teresa, Christian missionary and winner of the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize.

* WORRYING ..
Dear Diary,
'Philippians 4:6 cautions us not to be "anxious about anything . . . ," in other words not to worry. But how many times in our daily lives do we find ourselves worrying about a host of things including finances, our children or the future? There is an old Chinese proverb: "Why worry about how to cross the river if you have not even arrived at the shore yet?"
Anxiety is said to be undefined fear. When we find ourselves worrying or being anxious, it is very important to clarify what we are afraid of. Tell the Lord about it, leave it with Him and then act upon His truth. Do not live according to the feelings that accompany worry or anxiety.
How good it is to know that we can pray (talk to God) and not worry (exercising faith), realizing that we are praying to a God - our God - who is all-sufficient!
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7)'.
"Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?" (Matthew 6:27).

- Am learning that crucial perspective in life and admit it's not always easy to put into practice. I often thank the Lord for renewing His patience of me. Philippians is my favourite book of the Bible. It's about joy that can be experienced in circumstances that are challenging.k.

** Growing !! **.
Am sitting here right now! I'm tired and as usual tending to "push it" even though I'm still trying to pace myself. Hmmm, think I've heard THAT word 'pace' before !
My GP phoned me today to say that I need to go on a course of Medicine. Have started that tonight. MS is not just insidious, so is living life. THERE are many people and we are all different and as has been said before, "wouldn't life be dull, if we were all the same". IT does make living interesting. I suppose it has to be different; "tailor-made" for each, otherwise, how would we grow as learned beings. We do have that responsibility to ourselves.
I haven't got much else to say for the moment except I'm going to be "kind to myself" (there's nothing wrong with doing that) and close this Laptop in a few minutes AFTER replying to a friend to say "yes, I will come to lunch".
