So normally I can find something to praise God for in everything (yes even when things feel fraught as I have enough evidence in my own life of Gods love and care for me ) but this past week has been somewhat frustrating in little ways ( got a cough that wont let up so keeping me awake at night and hurting my chest even though it is coming from my throat A computer that is freezing and having major meltdowns, rain that is just not letting up etc ) Then my 15 year old granddaughter came to me as she is swotting for a history exam ( and no I am not that old as she is studying the first world war ) but we were talking about how things have changed in the last 100 years and she was shocked to know that women were not allowed to be doctors back then and when I was a child we were the only family in the street to have a phone in our home ( a neighbour wanted to use it and thought he could unplug it and take it home to use there ) We had a vehicle as my father had his own business but again there was only one other family in the street that had the use of a vehicle . When we had television it was a huge set with a small screen and very very few programmes ( only two stations ) and in black and white .. the list went on and on SO I stopped being grumpy about the rain as I do have a vehicle and don't need to walk everywhere in it …. I stopped moaning at my computer as they only came into use in the general population around the time I went to college ( as a mature student ) and the internet had only just started and without them I wouldn't know ANY OF YOU . I stopped moaning about the cough keeping me awake as I remembered being sent to hospital so many many times as a child for a cough such as this that would almost always turn to pneumonia or if I was very fortunate just a bad bout of bronchitis and remembered it is NOT just in the huge things we need to praise God but in every little thing that we so often take for granted in this fast paced technological age SOOOOO thank you all for being on the other end of a computer screen and being there to pray for me when I ask and cheer me up if I need a small boost and above all THANK YOU FATHER GOD FOR ALL YOUR WONDERS IN MY LIFE \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/

Has most of the facts and some that were NOT taught in schools. I grew up in the UK and it was quite sparse in the entertainment arena. I made my own.

Be Thankful to Yahuweh (Creator Almighty in Glory in Christ Jesus) Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible For we are his workmanship,.... Not as men only, but as Christians; not as creatures merely, but as new creatures; the work of grace upon the soul seems chiefly designed, which like a poem, as the word may be rendered, is a very curious work; the king's daughter is all glorious within, for this is an internal work, and is a good and excellent one; it is not indeed perfected at once, but is gradually carried on, till the finishing stroke is given to it by that hand which begun it; the author of it is God, it is not man's work; nor is it the work of ministers, no, nor of angels, but it is God's work -------------------------------------------------- and even though it is written "MY PEOPLE PERISH" for lack of knowledge, it is possible to learn what is good and helpful and healthy to do (that many people never find out about) most of the time to avoid the frequent (to so many people) colds, sniffles, flus, headaches, indigestion and so forth..... (from babies/grandchildren to great grandparents 100 and up ) First of course, trust the Father in heaven for all , all the time. (don't trust mankind, not even doctors or specialists) ....
