EPIPHANY

MATTHEW 2:11

“And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.”

King James Version (KJV)

AS the three WISE MEN approached the BABY JESUS, 
they came baring gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh for HE IS ROYALTY.  The KING of KINGS and LORD of LORDS.
Our Messiah had arrived.

EPIPHANY 2016::  I know that you probably have heard the saying, "Wise men still seek HIM."
Let me add something to that....women desiring to be wise seek HIM as well.

I worship you LORD JESUS.

Did a little HOMEWORK in my old age.
Melchior, Caspar and Balthasar were their names and all names have meaning.

Melchior with Roman origin means "king city"
Semitic roots.

Caspar has Latin variant of Jasper which means "treasurer" in Persian, "Royal" in German, and Dutch origin means "treasurer bearer."

Balthasar has a Greek origin meaning "G-d protect the king."


My CHRISTMAS tree is still standing and lit as I will admire her today throughout my time in my HOME.  Then I will be in the mood to take her down and sigh.  I love my CHRISTMAS tree.  Prettiest one we have had.  Perhaps I say this every year.

I drove into town last night around 8:18PM to a Town that had no CHRISTMAS decorations up.  GONE for another year.  I paused as I collected my mail at the post office.  I wasn't ready for the BLAND.  After the season changes birthing SPRING, the town will once again brighten up as flowers begin to bloom.  We are one day closer to SPRING.

I'm back from 6 weeks of illness.  Still clearing my throat with lingering cough and limping.  It's the pits, but I'm back to blogging.
I learned that in theory the FLUOROQUINOLONES can rupture muscles due to impeding collagen formation or interrupting blood supply in joints.  My right calf is injured and I limp due to the pain.  Not good.  Am hoping that it will heal up in 6 additional weeks.  I took an antibiotic that was a Fluoroquinolone which is known to rupture muscles of 60 year olds and older.  I suggest not taking this unless it's life threatening. 

One thing about getting older is that I may be more aggressive in voicing my opinion with the doctors after I have been through the ringer....in a nice way...of course.  I will read the warnings first before diving into using meds that I haven't used.  I still am too trusting when it comes to the medical field, meds, etc.  Gotta put my thinking cap on.

Help me remember that. 

Blessings to you,
