This morning I got up bright eyed and bushy tailed as my mom used to say and decided to do some investigation on fatigue in cancer patients such as myself.

My doctor told me it would take a long time for my energy to rebound  after my treatment. The physical therapists told me to go at life but do not over due because their is a lot of the brain that is working overtime to get the whole body functioning once again. It is creating new pathways from new brain cells back to my left side.

So, I stopped doing the obsurd things of pushing my body to the brink and throttled back. I was pushing my body , mind and Spirit to the max to heal so  that I could get back out into the world to help pay for life/family expenses, to contribute to those that I used to help and for those that need help. For those that I have yet to meet. I again was living on Danny’s time frame which was stupid.

My stubborness and pushing caused me to do some very unsafe things, plus it set me up for failure because I ended up with sciatic nerve pain, and tendonitis  of my good arm.

Both these conditions have finally healed Praise God.

It is a real reminder of who I am at the core. I want it all. But, you know God wants the best for us and HE  will do his work in me and in you when it is time by his measure only. Where I am today is exactly where he wants me. God wants me to just look to Heaven and wait on him. During this wait time he does not expect me to be just sitting and watching HBO either. We need to reach out to help one another to what ever capacity that we can. God knows my ability far better than I do, he knows what every cell in my body is doing right now. He wants us to subordinate all to him.

Part of my belly acheing is the fact that the energy runs high and low. I have had to learn to pace myself. If I go out for dinner for 4-5 hours and there  is walking and stairs involved then, I could spend the next two days on the chair tired and napping.

I have now read so much on the issue that I understand that it is part of the cancer story.

What cancer does and what the Chemo and radiation does to the body requires a long time for the body to rebound and recover from in a real way.

So, life is good. And, if you are wondering why you are tired after cancer treatment or any illness for that matter. look into it with your Dr. and search out others in your boat. It is a comfort to see others pulling through the same life situation.

God’s got us in every moment. Amen.

I just found this video, God brought me directly to it.

This was not planned by me but look how it goes with what I just wrote.

That’s God per usual. Always perfect in his timing.

I spoke to a dear friend today and she has been such a beautiful witness to Christ  in so many ways for so many people. Isn’t it  funny how those who truely witness God are so unaware of the effect that they have on so many others. It is a beautiful humbleness. Amen!

She said to me I had an experience, I saw Jesus there were no words spoken but it was beautiful.

She said, I know you would understand but I did not want to scare others. I said did it bring you peace and she said yes, then i said it was a gift from God to let you know that he is in fact happy with you.

There is no fear required 🙂

Guess What !  God’s loving you all too 🙂

Ask God for a revelation in your life 🙂 Knock and he shall answer.

I am sitting here today in my chair looking out onto God’s creation and my large beech tree. The sky is milky white, there is a soft breeze moving the huge canopy of gorgeous leaves. The colors of the leaves are deep red, golden yellow and green. The squirrels are on its beaches getting the beech nuts to store for winter.

It is a beautiful thing to behold from where God’s got me in this moment. My wife and I were invited out for dinner last night to a friends home. I did not realise how much my wife and I needed this until I was there. We have been friends praise God for 20 plus years with this couple and they have traveled a similar road as us. They are part of the Cursillo community we lived our retreats at the same time in 1999 and they are very stable in their faith walk with God.

They are busy with work ,children and ageing parents and relatives but you know what,  they get it done by God’s grace and are creating beauty not letting life create havoc.

Last night was just what God prescribed for all 4 of us. They are what God called us to be the salt and light to everyone, and they are.

John 15:12-15

John 15:12-15New International Version (NIV)

12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.

God Bless them and their loved ones too 🙂

Get up each day no matter what and greet that day with joy and a resolve.

Its not the plight in your life that you face, no matter what it is that defines you ! Look at the dilemma you face and look at the options for creating an opportunity in that situation. Find the hidden pearl in the situation like Sue Austin did. The Holy Spirit of God is unbeleivable so jump into your life and cast your disability into the abyss and live life to its fullest.

Be God strong. You are royalty:)  You are the child of a King !

Go full screen and witness this beautiful womens story 🙂

Witnessing the Divine workings of God.

“The Divine Spirit”. I have been wondering when this subject would come to the table. When I finally decided to answer the call to write this blog I thought that this subject (Divine Spirit ) would begin my writings, but the blog writings did not start that way at all.  I am honored and grateful to be alive in this moment. The mercy that God has extended to me in this moment is something that I could never be able to understand or comprehend. But it serves a purpose in God’s plan. This is a season in my life that I am witnessing God’s supreme power. I see God in action in others lives and have been called to witness God to others through my life walk.

I never could exactly say how this worked, or what to call it but, I began to call what I have witnessed as the workings of The Divine Holy Spirit. I will begin to write about these very special events.

After my diagnosis, I began witnessing a presence that was emenating from my person that was far greater than me. This Divine Spirit was ministering to people, total strangers ,dealing with non believers and God made them believers in minutes. I had one doctor who was a non believer as I quicky found out. This doctor walked into the exam room this day and I began witnessing my story and once I said the word God, she was turned off. It is something that you cannot miss once you have experienced it. It definately made me feel a bit uncomfortable. My brother was there as well as a nurse R. I was sitting in the wheelchair. She took a posture on the table looking down on me sitting with one leg off the floor and one on the floor. She was so done with me, right away. I felt the HolySpirit in me Rise. Se said I heard about you and was like rolling her eyes, she looked across the room where this nurse R was sitting and at that point God decided thats enough and I addressed her.  I sat there and witnesses God changing her life hopefully forever, but who knows ? People can be stubborn. God had me address her.  Okay God wants to show you something and I said, but I need you to know the whole truth about my case and God. She stopped me and said show me and I said no, your not listening to God. She looked so frustrated. After a minute I heard in my head show her. So, I said wait a minute God just told me to show you. Her eyes got wide and I stood up out of the wheelchair and said Praise Jesus both my arms lifted towards the  ceiling and Heavens. You see that was medically impossible because my whole left side was laid waste by the cancer and treatment. Yet God did it. She thought I was dead man walking, she did not say it , but I knew that she thought it. God knew that day that I would be there and so would she. I gave her my primary doctors name and number and told her of my Miracle healing of my shoulder and knee in Dec, 2010 I Said call him and he will confirm this. She ran out of the room. I told one of my regular doctors and they knew who she was and laughed. But knew how unprofessional that was. I met her only once but, that is all that God needed. He reached her.

That day was not about me, that day was about that lovely Dr.  who did not believe that God was part of her/ our lives.

God makes us all extraordinary creatures, each one of us is created in the image of his son Jesus Christ. We are Blessed with gift of the Holy Spirit. We have his breathe sustaining our lives, and his love harkening are hearts back to him. He loves us completely and if you try to live for him he will allow you to become more of a blessing from Heaven to others. Which, in all honesty is a wonderful thing for us because not only are we blessing others by God’s grace but we are securing our place at the table of the Lord.

 #1

This is just beautiful, This is from a movie worth watching, August Rush. The point is that music has been a gift to us all. It defines periods of our lives many joyful others painful none the less they make us who we are today. We need to look for good positive things for our minds and the Holy Spirit to embrace during our day’s. I find that I need to ask so God, Whats today about ? Then I pray on it. It does not have to be long and aloborate. it just needs to be heartfelt and he will answer.

Like I always say sometimes we need silence but we also need the joy of good music to inspire us and to sooth us.

From August Rush Movie. Beautiful

 #2

My Wife and I took my son to see this production in Boston years ago. It was Donny Osmonds last performance. He became racked with fear and could not continue the tour. They said he had a knee injury but years later he admitted that he needed to step away from his career the fear on stage was crippling him.

Again, he is human like us and for him, he was treated and is back on stage and behind the camera.

It was a beautiful story brought to life before our eyes.

My son always remembers that particular event . It was Special memory for us to share and when we hear the songs its lifts the Spirit and heals us . Amen !

Elvis Presley Another Artist Lost Far Too Young

As a follow up to the Whitney Houston Post from last week.

We have Elvis Presley another artist that passed too quickly. He was so deeply rooted in his faith and you can see by his demise in later years that drugs and alcohol took a toll on him he was only 42. Sometimes we look at other peoples lives and think the grass is a little greener but the reality is that with much wealth comes much responsibility. And if the wrong people are around because of the available finances they can crash you into the rocks.

Elvis was a very good man and had a tremendous God Given gift.

If you look at the post from Sept 23 it has the videos for Delores Hart who is a nun and was Hollywood’s highest paid Starlet. She gave Elvis his first on screen kiss. On the video links on Sr. Delores Hart say’s that what stayed with her and always will is what a wonderful and innocent man Elvis was.

Getting into another persons head, You Cannot. :)

I have had this thought in my mind and on my heart for a very long time. I was eating my dinner with my family and in my mind I got the word WHY?

So, I made my way back to my computer and searched  youtube for Why and the first thing that popped up was this song below.

Why Annie Lenox

I have over the years been in many circumstances where friends , family or just people who were in my life were upset with friends, family members and co-workers and they out of frustration and anger were dishing junk onto them. Making a moutain out of a mole hill etc. It is really pretty sophomoric in my mind. But more importantly is the fact that, it is a sin. God say’s that our words spoken against another is like killing them. Words have consequence.

Life is tough enough as it is. What I generally say is cut them some slack you never know what anyone is going through at any given moment in their lives. Plus some people have personaties that they may lend them to be to be a little snappy by nature. Nothing personal, it is just who they are. In my mind we  can be 100 years old and still have feelings and emotions of a small child, wounded, lonely,insecure and just want to fit in and be loved unconditionally. I say God Bless Everyone.

Bottom line :

Try a little tenderness

None of us is perfect, nor can we expect another person to be. We cannot get into their heads to see what is going on either.

Like I say to my kids do not talk about a situation and give your peace away. When we lose our peace  the sinning begins. Some people are never wrong so we need to accept that aspect of that person and then you decide if it is healthy for you or not to have a relationship.

It is not worth sinning or carryng their negative issues. We do not own those. Pray for those who harm and those you love and let it go ! God’s got it anyway.

So everyone stop yapping and show the love to the people around you:)

Abba

 

So, Put the love in front of you and move forward  all relationships will be healed.

The Way Old Friends Do

 

God Bless You.

Danny

The gifts that this lovely lady has really make you realize how important a connection to oneanother is. The elderly can become invisible to so many of us.

At a quick look, one would never think that this person would  be so accomplished, but God is in everyone of us. And thats why we cannot judge a book by its cover. 🙂

So, I say God Bless Her !  and Thanks 🙂

Pray that her box of offerings overflows 🙂
