Coping with a Hearing Aid

I have always been impatient with people who do not persevere with their hearing aids. When you first have a hearing aid all the background noises seem very loud, but if you just keep it in all day every day this soon settles, as the brain discovers what to filter out. I did this. However I found the contraption very fiddly to handle and the connecting tube from the actual aid to the ear mould was difficult to attach to the mould and kept falling out. This was very irritating. After about six weeks of coping very well I started having trouble putting the mould in my ear and the aid didn't seem to be working. I think I have it sorted now. It is a question of putting the mould into the ear gently. I think I had been pushing it up against the side of the ear hole instead of placing it so that the nozzle faced into the ear. When your hearing aid is troublesome it is very irritating and fills one with anger. However it is wonderful when it is working and means I am not missing out on social interaction. There is also help at hand at your local audiology clinic.

Life after death

When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.

Persecution of the sick in Britain

The British government, through the benefits system is persecuting thousands of people who are not fit to work, giving them very skimpy benefits. People who are not able to work for health reasons are not able to stand up for themselves. The goverment will answer to God when the suicides happen. People were treated in this way back in the Old Testament. Then exile was the result for the perpetrators. Something equally as bad will happen to those in power today. The churches should be aware that there are people in need and set up soup kitchens for these people.Many are in this position through no fault of their own. They should be helped not looked down upon.

Persevering

Sometimes it's hard to keep going with something we have started. A little setback can get in the way of trying to do something good. I want these thoughts to touch your heart and make you think things through. However as I cannot tell if anyone has read them unless you comment, I get disheartened and feel I am a voice calling in the wilderness. But who can tell who might light upon this page and be really encouraged or helped in their journey of life. If only one person was helped it would all be worthwhile. If you have been helped in any way by this blog do make a comment.I could do with some encouraging too.You can find more thoughts like these at this link A thought for each day
