Day 119 ~ Matching Heads!

Yes, Joe (son) & I look alike now. Actually this picture was taken when I first lost my hair. Now it starting to come back in a little. Joe has been such a great help in helping me with the computer program Quicken to track our finances. Since the fundraiser he is helping us with paying off the medical bills etc. I call him my financial advisor as he is the frugal one in the family....and very good with money.

I saw the kidney doctor yesterday and my kidney function is now 40% from 25%, so that was good but not good enough according to the doctor. So I have some new eating rules and drinking rules and he has adjusted medication that is hard on the kidneys. He takes this very seriously and I guess I better too! He was talking about the kidneys shutting down and some scary stuff, so I better follow the rules he has set. I see the cancer doctor next week after my CT scan. Depending on what the results are from that will determine what happens next with chemo.
God's blessings to all, Janet

Dear Lord, I thank You for this day, I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning. I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you.
I ask now for Your forgiveness. Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this
day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from You. Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things. Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over.
And give the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits.
I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do Your will. Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak... Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement. I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way. I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those who don't know You intimately. I pray for those that will delete this without sharing it with others I pray for those that don't believe.
But I thank you that I believe that God changes people and God changes things. I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every family member in their households. I pray for peace , love and joy in their homes that they are out of debt and all their needs are met. I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight.
I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees it.
