License tag I will ask for

[bodybuilder1958]

Hi all,

God has a reason
God*har
That will be what I will ask my husband for our 32 wedding anniversary coming up June 15th.

It's after 0330 in the morning and the pain from my new TKR has kept me up. But God has a reason, perhaps it's to post this here. I don't know but like I said, God has a reason.

To be frank I don't know why things have gone so south. But look at my last line from the above paragraph. In Him am I putting my strength and my life. I have been home for almost 4 years to help my family. Spending almost an entire semester at college helping my autistic oldest son was more than worth it. Welcoming in my youngest granddaughter, spending time with my loving husband. God has a reason.

My youngest son turned 21 in January, he claims to be neutral in faith. Well you don't know what words my husband has to explain this (abrupt and to the point, rather crude), but once again God has a reason and I have perfect faith that he will return to his spiritual life. I shared with my husband a dream I've had the past 2 yrs about this knee and I wish I hadn't since it troubled him so. That dream, a TKR followed by an AKA. But even if that were to happen once again, God has a reason.

I want the world to know that my strength, my very being comes from a strong spiritual connection to my Saviour. He has a reason for everything that happens. If something like an AKA were to happen I would handle it the same way. His will not mine, not always an easy path to take. We put ourselves into many situations in our lives, God always has the reins, it's up to us to take them and allow Him to lead the way.

Just my opinion, I guess I'll try to sleep now. God has a reason either way, sleep or awake.

God Bless everyone and an extra prayer for our troops here and abroad.

God does have a reason for everything. Yes sometimes it hard to see it but if you just remember he has a plan everything will work.

God bless our troops on this day and every day. My oldest son completed his service the 20th of this month but he has been home for about a month. Right after he leave here on his way back to be deployed for the first time I took a long walk and sit by myself in the park and had a long talk with the Lord. I can not tell you how sad I was when he left. And I can tell you how good I felt after that talk. He brought my son home safe and I will keep my word with him, and it has made me a better man

Bodybuilder you have been in my thoughts and prayers.

Friday the physical therapist shared with me; the patients she is seeing are having changes in their pain levels.
She said her patients who pain levels are on the low side are having high pain levels, and her patients who experience high pain levels are having higher pain levels.

Perhaps it is weather related.

I feel God has a plan for each of us, that has to do with the day we start our lives on this earth, what happens in our lives while on this earth, and the day we leave this earth.

My daughter's boyfriend is in the national guards, he will be home in three weeks for a 2 week leave. Please pray he has a safe trip home.

I also agree, god has set us on a never ending journey. Only he knows the destination, we just have choices during the journey and no choice is a wrong choice.. I should have never lived through my accident, let alone be able to walk. But he had a reason he spared me and I like to think it was the birth of our new son Dominick.. If I am house bound for the rest of my natural life, I will accept and move forward and enjoy every minuite with Dominick..

I also pray for our troops,

I believe that God gives us nothing in our lives that we can't handle. He allows us to make mistakes so that we can learn from them and pass the knowledge on to others that seek our help. Although there have been times when I have said "Enough Lord, I can't handle anymore." He never waivered and sent even more hardships my way. Including the murder of Randy and I's 19th month old Grandson in March of 2010.

It was six year ago today (5/29/2005) that we held the memorial service for my beloved father, who was a Korean veteran. He was also at ground zero in area 57 when they were testing out the bombs. Instead of leaving the troops in the trenches to protect them from the fallout, my father and his fellow soldiers were ordered above ground by their commanding officer. My father died eventually of three different types of cancer. Because of being exposed to the fallout, he was never formally discharged from the Army. So although we scattered his ashes in his beloved Rockies, he also has a headstone at Ft Logan National Cemetery in Denver that the family can visit. I miss him so much, but can be thankful that I didn't see him at the end of his battle with cancer. Both my mother and my sister who was there when he took his last breath, he was just a shell of the man he once was. So I get to recall the handsome man that he was when I saw him last.

I pray for ever soldier, airman, sailor etc that are in harms way during this battle that I feel we shouldn't be fighting any longer. I Pray for their safety and that each and everyone of them comes home to their loved ones. My dearest friend sent her son over to the battle when it was in it's infancy. The truck that he was riding in hit an IED and his best friend died. Little did he know at the time, that he had sustained a closed brain injury and would come back home a totally different son than she gave to the military.
