WELP...WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS. This morning I took HUBBY to the eye doctor because he has been seeing a very odd floater in one eye. He was able to get in this morning. I decided not to go in this time to sit in the LOBBY. Instead I went to $General for a few things needed.
As I sat in the car, I filled out the monthly dates in a new bill book I purchased while I waited for my dear Hubby to finish his eye exam. He doesn't have a detached retina, but instead the problem was gel in his eye causing troubles. Relieved that it wasn't worse. Back in a month.
Because his eyes were dilated, I thought it best for him to not be out in the sunshine, stay off the computer and take a nap. At 14 degrees this morning, the frozen snow crunched under my feet as I unloaded groceries and walked Hubby to the door of our HOME. He's sleeping as I type.
Eyesight isn't something we care to lose. This health journey is challenging and always changing. The challenges are going to be there for sure. In this LIFE there will tribulation. Will be. Even with taking great care of one's health there will be challenges. Hopefully not as many though.
I phoned my Sister to see how our Mom is doing. She has a slight temp and her oxygen is a little low. Sleeping. Not eating nor is she drinking anything. But she was sitting up while sleeping. Still concerned about my Sister and her husband's health. They are not wearing mask while in Mom's tiny apartment. A recipe for trouble.
I believe if we want to be Blessed by God then we have to honor and follow HIS counsel, advice, instructions and guidelines. Praying scripture is helpful.
When HE gave the dietary guidelines HE said to not eat BAT. I never have had an issue with this, but the giving up of bacon and pork will be an undertaking for me. I believe I can do this with some prayer, making up my mind to not eat it and some time under my belt.
I wasn't raised in a HOME that was KOSHER or avoided PORK. Never gave it much thought. I eat pork once in awhile and bacon is pork. I know that food doesn't give one eternal salvation such as getting saved. This comes from CHRIST as one's personal savior, but I know now that JESUS did not do away with the laws. He completed them. So with that said, I want to honor better food choices for my personal journey while I am here on earth aging a little each day.
I grew up thinking I was eating the right way. The older I got, the more I depended on this way of thinking and continued purchasing canned goods that eventually would be heavy ladened with additives and chemicals. Here comes the high fructose corn syrup as a sweetener and then chemicals to enhance the flavors of food so our brains want more and more of the product. The brain can be fooled into thinking it loves a food so much that it can't get enough of it when in reality it's a chemical fooling you. The brain can be tricked.
READING THE INGREDIENTS ON THE LABELS will be something I plan on doing a great deal more. When the ingredients are like a foreign language or difficult to pronounce than it will be up to me to find out what that ingredient actually is. Sometimes the ingredients are a mystery and our government is alright with that. So I will have to be a super sleuth and do my HOMEWORK.
NO BREAKFAST THIS MORNING TO BREAK THE FAST. Sipped hot Pomegranate Tea until the pizza rolls were ready to eat for
LUNCH and didn't allow the rolls time to adequately cool off before popping one into my mouth. Ouch. It burned the inside of my mouth. Now what? I shouldn't be such a pig at any cost.
I'll do a few more loads of laundry and take a much needed nap. It seems that when I have added stress that I don't handle it the best. I get tired so easily these days.
I will add a fruit smoothie this afternoon before evening falls. Veggies tonight for supper along with vitamins and supplements.
Devotions today: King James Version Proverbs 5.
1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
2 That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.
He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
