And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Galatians 6:9

As most of you might know, we had to put my 99 year old grandmother in a nursing home earlier this year. With some hip and leg issues, she is pretty much confined to a wheel chair most of the time. Unfortunately she has fallen in the past so she has alarms on her chair and bed. If she needs to get up, she has to notify the staff for their assistance. Its a very confining situation for her and has her feeling the blues of life.

When circumstances occur, that limit our mobility, we can feel depressed and almost ready to give up on life. Gods word (bible) has no reference to giving up on life. If you are breathing in oxygen, He has a purpose for your exitence. You may be so deep in self pity that you feel out of sight from God. But, He sees you where you are and wants to give you a hand to lift you up. Your role is to trust Him and continue to serve Him...even if its simply praying for others, sending a card of encouragement or taking time to dial up someone and let them know you care.

Where has God allowed you to be in life? Caring for a loved one and you feel all alone, are you confined to a bed or chair and feel a lose of purpose, or maybe you are in a difficult situation at work, with family or life in general. As long as God allows you to live, you are to serve Him in some capacity....even when you dont feel like it. When you struggle forward to do His will, He will bless you. He will strengthen you too if you simply pray, asking for His help. So often we get down on ourselves we dont open up to release our burdens to Him. Trust me friend, you were never meant to bear those burdens alone...one of the benefits of being a child of God.

Keep on, keeping on and He will sustain and bless your life. Serve Him today! God bless.
