Major surgery

I've had major surgery and am now convalescing.  Feeling really good but being careful not to overdo things.  Sitting at the computer is fine.  God has been very good to me through all this. Undoubtedly the waiting before hand is the worst part.  First there is the waiting for a date for surgery, then there is the worry that it might get cancelled, but this did not happen to me.  I told the consultant I was happy to have surgery near Christmas and sure enough I had it two days after Christmas. There are lots of sedentary hobbies I enjoy so I don't think I will get bored.  My friends and family are looking after me well and doing the household chores I can't manage.  Of course it is also important to get a little exercise.
Tomorrow we have a family meal at my daughter's.  She only lives 3 minutes away on foot, that is when I am fit, but tomorrow I shall be driven over there in the car.  I can't drive myself for six weeks. I shall have to be careful that my two-year-old grandson doesn't leap enthusiastically on me.  That could be painful.  I am amazed how well I feel and thank God for that.

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
