Hey! I think I have conquered the newspaper! I never even gave it a thought this AM as I opened my Bible. To be honest, my time was short as I had to be dressed and out early to go to the Dr. –AGAIN! Seems like that is all I do. OH well—

I was really looking forward to the time I had. Wondered what Jesus might give me today. I believe I get good thoughts from Him even as I pray. After all, that’s where I got the urge to put my AM musings on e-mail.

I’ve read the last chapter of John and am amazed still at His love for us. His last words on earth were for our welfare. Three times He instructed Peter to take care of his sheep. He “Loves us to pieces.”

If I focus on His presence here with me, what will He say? Philippians 4:8 comes to mind. I’m weak, pretty much stuck here at home, living alone again; but I am given a choice. I can dwell on the bad things, compare myself to others who seem immune to trouble; or I can think of all the good things I’ve had.

God knows that my life has not been trouble free; but if I look at the “truth, the lovely, the excellent, admirable, honorable, and worthy of praise” stuff of my life and I have to ask, “Why am I given so much?” “Why have You been so good to me?”

I don’t get answers to my questions all at once, but He is here everyday to ask. I believe wisdom will come. Today I am grateful for His presence and for the peace I feel.

I pray for blessings for all of you. Irma Jane Fritz-Zager
