🙏🏼'SHOW THAT YOU CARE'❣️💞

❤️🐦 Yesterday, as, i left the hospital, from the second appointment with my surgeon, upset that, my blood pressure was, once again, pretty high, which, I, for the first time in my life, encountered at the first visit with him, regarding the "big bumps" in the core of my body, my WONDERFUL HEAVENLY FATHER, put into flight, directly in my, path and eyesight, a gorgeous, female CARDINAL (Godwink)❣️🐦❤️ But, even before that, whenever, I got in my car, earlier, to head to the appointment, and, turned on the radio, my theme song for my parent's, 'I Walk the Line,' sung by Johnny Cash, was playing (Godwink)❣️😇 I've been REALLY missing my parents A LOT, of whom, I was thinking, as I walked, toward and entered, my car, also❣️This "journey" of dealing with these "core bumps," has become a kind of "Pandora's Box"❣️😔 I was dealing with major ANXIETY, before and after, the doctor's appointment❣️I really believe that, The Lord gave me these personal "GODWINKS," as encouraging messages to me, reminding me that, HE'S with me, got me, working, loves me, CARES, ETC.❣️Both occurrences greatly blessed me❣️YES, i was very upset, whenever, i left the doctor's office, for several reasons, with the number one being that, I NOW, must go back to my general doctor (I was just there for an overall checkup, blood work, and all - a couple weeks ago), and, shall probably be prescribed medication to decrease the high blood pressure, which, I do NOT want to take, BUT, shall be "forced" to take (especially, to be "healthy"), IF, I end up (who knows when) needing to have surgery to extract the "core bumps"/ "hernias" (or whatever they are)❣️Needless to say, I am frustrated about all of this❣️😩 I, also, was told to make appointments for:  a CAT scan (i knew that, this was eminent), and, another one with the surgeon (after the CAT scan)❣️It is NO WONDER my blood press has been UP the last couple months, considering ALL of the medical appointments, all of which, I had AVOIDED for various reasons (mainly EXCUSES - based in DENIAL), for approximately thirteen years❣️😩 I only desire to take prescribed medications whenever they are 💯 absolutely necessary‼️I understand that, as the surgeon explained, i must not be "at risk," in order to be a candidate for one of his surgeries, IF, eventually (after ALL of the medical prerequisites are finished), am recommended by him, to have surgery⁉️ "TIME WILL TELL"‼️❣️😘😳🙏🏼 I, also, realize that, as he told me, high blood pressure can cause serious trouble to the human body, especially if, untreated‼️Therefore, Monday (this is Friday), I shall, unenthusiastically, "get on the horn," and try to make three more medical appointments, so that, I'll have something else (along with MANY more), for which, to pray, about not dreading, and the such‼️‼️Thank you, for your prayers❣️💚 i trust GOD, and know that, IT COULD BE MUCH WORSE‼️❣️😘🙏🏼 However, "on a positive note," it was encouraging for me to hear that, I had lost some weight❣️😘😃👍🏼 There's so much more, in which, I COULD write, about this matter, but, "I'll spare you"❣️😘 You are welcome❣️😘😂 Anyway, I'll keep doing my part as HE leads me, as, I trust HIM to do the part that I cannot (the actual HEALING), HOWEVER, HE (JESUS) deems BEST❣️🙏🏼✝️🕊 SO, i "said ALL of that, to say this"...As, I continued driving home, yesterday, dwelling upon, and, praying over, MY health issues, feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, and such, I began thinking about the multitude of people, whom, have received devastating news of different types, considerably WORSE than mine ('D Disc D,' "hernias" (or ?), and high blood pressure)‼️I thought of people, whom, have heard that, they have cancer, a bad heart, a rare genetic disorder, or limitless other heartbreaking frailties, and, my issues began to shrink (mentally speaking)‼️Then, I was even more convincted, when, I considered the countless people, who, have been told that, they only have a short time to live‼️I made myself concentrate on the sadness, sorrow, desperation, etc., with which, thousands of people DEAL, daily, and, mostly, the precious people, about whom I care, going through "the valley of the shadow of death" (if, you will), presently‼️I prayed for them, as, i often do, except with more empathy than usual, yesterday, as, The sensitive Holy Spirit ministered to my heart and soul, about this❣️💔😢🙏🏼I also prayed because, I became ashamed of myself, for although, I sincerely attempt to be a compassionate person, it "dawned" on me, at that moment, before praying for them, that, I have never had to personally feel the HOPELESSNESS, with which, millions have, in these terrible, "seemingly" fatalistic (but, God) situations‼️Don't get me wrong, please, for I have been  heartbroken many times concerning loved ones, who, were ill, or even, dying, and, actually died, however, I have never been extremely ill, to where, I was "on the verge of death," and, knew it❣️And, I am, now, more than ever, VERY grateful to God, that, I've not❣️🙌🏼 Therefore, the POINT ("LIFE LESSON"), which, I am, learning, and,  sharing for this month's blog post is:  ALWAYS CHOOSE TO, CONSIDER AND CARE (show your,   love and/or concern, in some way, even if, it is by simplypraying in sincerity, faith, and love, etc., for them)  ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING (suffering, struggling, dying, etc.), ESPECIALLY, WITH THOSE, WHO, ARE SUFFERING IN SOME WAY, BECAUSE, THE GOOD LORD DESIRES THAT, WE DO SO - FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS, AND, IF, WE DON'T (after being made aware), MAYBE, NOBODY ELSE WILL, FOR WHICH, WE'LL ANSWER TO OUR LORD, ONE DAY❣️ALSO, REMEMBER THAT, ONE REAPS WHAT ONE SOWS‼️😘😊🙏🏼 If, you are like me, in that, you have physical limitations, as to being able to visit, serve, and the such, people who are suffering, then, pray for him/her, and maybe, give him/her a phone call of cheer, or, send a card and/or flowers, or, some other little gift, anything that, you think may comfort, encourage, etc. him/her❣️🤔🙏🏼💞 Later, in the afternoon, I went out on the back deck, to feed a, fairly new to our neighborhood, "stray" (?) cat, and, sitting there, on a low tree branch to greet me was a plump, bright red (male) Cardinal (another Godwink - possibly sent by angels, my parents, or (?))❣️🐦❤️ It sat there, while, we seemed to check each other out, for around five minutes❣️My caring, loving, empathetic, compassionate, etc., SAVIOR, ministered to me throughout that entire wearisome day, knowing (HE is omniscient) of my discouragement❣️TODAY (later than the previous part of this post), I accomplished getting all three of the appointments, in which, i mentioned previously, MADE❣️Check ✔️❣️Now, I just have to make myself actually GO to all of them, and, NOT choose to AVOID them, as a result of dealing with ANXIETY, DREAD, and other "fear-based" feelings, thoughts, etc.❣️😏😳😘🙏🏼 OH, MY WORD, i seriously just want this "herna / health / journey" to be OVER (and, there is still a possible surgery - as "icing on the cake," for this "journey")❣️😩😂🙏🏼My wonderful LORD, JESUS, SHALL get me through it (Psalm 91)❣️✝️🙌🏼💚So, to help me get my mind off of this, and, for better reasons, I'll pray for other "struggling" sojourners of life❣️🙏🏼✝️📖🕊"In the meantime," i'm trusting HIM to bring healing (by whatever means that HE chooses) to my BACK (somehow, regenerating the 'degenerative discs), so that, i'll be ABLE to DO more physically, to help, encourage, bless, and the such, discouraged people❣️"In other words "DO SOMETHING TO LET HURTING PEOPLE KNOW THAT YOU CARE (be like God! HE exemplified REAL, LOVE, compassion, etc., in CHRIST, through the incarnation and the finished work of THE CROSS)❣️Each Believer has his/her own personality (every individual expresses himself/herself in his/her own unique way), personal gifts, specialties, etc., with which, we may BLESS those who need it, as, our faithful Lord leads us, through the ministry of the sensitive Holy Spirit❣️The question is, shall 'I' OBEY HIM⁉️❣️If, each of us does what HE "impresses" upon our "hearts" to DO, then, people are helped, and, HE is, honored and glorified❣️🙌🏻😘 📖🕊🙏🏼✝️💞💞It is NOW Wednesday, and, as, i nervously, drove and prayed, while driving to the doctor's appointment, to have my blood pressure situation evaluated, no sooner had i began moving, than, I saw a pretty pair (male and female) of CARDINALS ("GODWINK"), fluttering in a bush, growing beside the road, in my eye's view, in front of me❣️🙌🏼🐦❤️🐦❤️ And, further down the way, as I anxiously prayed, and, had told The Lord that, I trust HIM, and that, i am in HIS hands, to the left of me, I see a bright red, male CARDINAL diving for something, and, it was a glorious sight, as, in my spirit i knew that the timing was not coincidental, but, was definitely another "GODWINK"❣️🐦❤️🙌🏼 HE IS ABSOLUTELY TOO GOOD TO THIS 'OLE GAL❣️❣️🙌🏼☺️ Well, i certainly HOPE that, this post has, exhorted and encouraged, at least one soul, in SOME way, in Jesus' name, and, for HIS, glory and honor (always)❣️✝️🙏🏼🙌🏼...😘☺️😊😃...i would like to add that, i began writing this post before i first heard of 'Coronavirus,' which, i find very interesting❣️🤔🙏🏼 Also, i am now on blood pressure medicine (go back, again, to my doctor, to monitor it, in two weeks from the day i was prescribed it❣️😔...UGH❣️😩 Tuesday:  The CAT scan is over❣️WHEW❣️😏 That was "fun"❣️😘😂,..🇺🇸🖤 SATURDAY:  due to this 'CoVid 19' pandemic, both doctors, with whom, I had appointments, in the next couple weeks, which, would have brought me closer to "the ending" of this  "hernia/healthcare journey," CANCELLED on me‼️ Therefore, this "journey" DRAGS ON‼️ I just want it over, with me healthy, and, not looking pregnant❣️🤣 SO, i must continue to, remind myself that, this "journey" is part of God's plan for my life, and, LET HIM, lead and help, me,  through it, and that, HE is 💯% TRUSTWORTHY, ETC.‼️❣️My healing SHALL be in HIS, WAY and TIMING, not, mine❣️😳 The more time it takes, the more time I have to lose weight, and, for HIM to "work" (in and around - me), accomplishing HIS will❣️😘🙏🏼PLEASE, sweet "friend," choose to believe that, you too can TRUST HIM with "whatever" it is you are concerned❣️This thought brings me back to encouraging other people, in that, we may "UPLIFT" our fellow humans, simply by reminding them of things like this (GOD CAN BE TRUSTED), and the such❣️Here are some Scriptures that support the "thought" of this post:  Ecclesiastes 4:10, Isaiah 41:6, Acts 20:35, Romans chapter 12, Galatians ch. 6, Ephesians 4:32, Colossians chapter 3, 2 Corinthians 1:3+4, Hebrews 10:24, Hebrews 13:16, James 1:27, 1Peter 3:8, 1 John 3:17+18, Jude 1:21+22, ETC.❣️...As, i scrolled through my 'Twitter,' this morning (Monday 3/23/20, amidst this 'CoVid 19' pandemic), i came upon a 'tweet,' by the songwriter/singer, Steve Wariner, singing an old song of Glen Campbell's, entitled, 'Try a Little Kindness,' which, "fits" perfectly with this post❣️Therefore, i recommend that, ya'll "take a listen" to it, and then, TRY a little kindness, yourself (me, too)❣️😘🙏🏼📖🕊✝️🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💜...👋🏼...until next post...
