Good Morning BEP,
Your posts are always sensitive and wise. I doubt that the truth will hurt KristiAnn . . . she may not like it, but the truth is never wrong! Having a good attitude not only helps me with my trials, but I don't chase people away by being negative all the time. I have my moments, of course we all do but I discovered - to my utter joy - that I can turn to Jesus and IMMEDIATELY feel better.... no one on earth will ever suffer the way Jesus did!! And who am I to complain anyway? Everyone has some kind of pain, so why not me? My pain simply means that I'm alive . . . I'm a survivor . . . and I have a purpose. God is using me for his glory so I must be special in His eyes. WE ALL have a purpose and a reason to be thankful every day - look up at the cross. My cross, your cross and His cross - we are following HIM! Glory, glory glory! I would rather serve my Jesus from a wheelchair than have two legs and not know Him. I live for ETERNITY, not for this short life on earth . . . I'll leave my wheelchair behind and very soon I will see the King! All of us will! That alone should be enough to keep a positive outlook!
Keep your chin up sister KristiAnn! We can serve the Lord mightely and be a living testimony to his grace . . . isn't that an HONOR? Wow! I feel blessed! God chose ME to worship and praise Him! Mere words could never express how grateful I am to Him for what He's done for us.... HE DIED! The very least we can do is thank and praise Him and be happy with the crosses we bear. Jesus never whined.

Hello KristiAnn,
I just wanted you to know that you're not alone in your struggle with disabilities or with the SSA. . . It took me close to three years to finally get my disability. I had to "prove" that I'm disabled even though my leg is OBVIOUSLY amputated and my vision is all but gone because of diabetic retinopathy. You will eventually get it, so hold on to the promises of God. When you can worship God in spite of pain and adversity, it is the deepest worship of all and very pleasing to God.
Hang in there sister! You're in my prayers.

I particularly appreciated the word origin of "XMas" because I have assumed (and you know what that means!) that the 'X' was a substitute for 'Christ' ergo, taking 'Christ' out of Christmas. . .

Hello Twinkledust! Congratulations on the new babies! Little ones are wonderful aren't they? I'm just crazy about my brother's kids . . . though they're not babies anymore!
What is your major? I know that college takes a lot of discipline and dedication and I pray that you continue in your studies - God be with you.

At a recent Women's Lib meeting, a speaker addressed the audience: "Where would man be today if it weren't for women?" ... "Hmmm?, tell me, where would man be?"
After a few seconds, a voice from the back said "He'd be in Eden eating strawberried!"
