Since I'll be 70 in July, and my dementia is increasing and my stumbling and dizziness is increasing, too, I won't be surprised. He has healed my heart and other parts of my body a number of times in the years, not even when at a hospital. This time, worshiping and serving Him in a special God-job, I do it. BUT on the side, the other has been increasingly difficult on this earth. ALSO since I know the sinfulness in this world has increased so significantly... as I often say, Sodom and Gomorrah in that small area is now our world. And the sinfulness...some I was involved in as a kid and until He broke into my life when I was 20-- April 15, 1966 -- and I was a fighter and filled with significant sinful issues, and, in those years we knew those things automatically. In the mid-70s, much of the same sinfulness was set down and not accepted as sin. Since then, much has increased. SO being a worshiper and a "heart in heaven" person, and looking forward to being there with Him and many others, that's all that truly counts. You really shared beautifully. Thanks much!!caryjohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488368153291827383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-531909281927126909.post-17389069807118540682015-04-23T19:27:11.389-07:002015-04-23T19:27:11.389-07:00Amen, sister!!
