Give Thanks In All Circumstances,

For this is God's will for you in Christ. Scripture goes on
to say, "May God Himself, the God of Peace sanctify you
through and through,". There is no mistake that God is
calling us so we should strive to do all that we do with His
love. Once we start doing things to gratify ourselves , we
are going off course. It is God's will and not our own will
that we surrender to. That does not mean we awaken one
morning and we are completely sanctified. It is a journey
but a journey that we need to commit to with all our heart
and our soul. Slowly we give in to His way and not our way.
All that we are and all that we do, no matter how small will
be done with the love of God. It is for His glory, not our own
that we live. And really it is not that we are sacrificing our
lives for Him, it is for our acceptance of Him will that will bring
us eventually to a life of joyful surrender.

Giving thanks in all situationsis always rewarding, always. I try to practice this always. When the vision in my left eye went away suddenly, I thanked our Father offering Him the other if He wanted, also confessing I would rather keep it if I hadmy way..yes, I did.

Something miraculous ensued. There are two types of macular degeneration, one dry the other wet. Oh one is age related. I have the wet and it is the more aggressive of the two. Anyway the second eye's vision started to go very fast. Again I thanked our Father for His will, and blessed Him. WMD and dry MD are not reversible or operable usually. Anyway for some unknown reason the vision came backin the second eye.

This happened thirty years ago. Since then I have progressively relost visionin that good eye, but frankly I am happy as can be either way bcause there are many kindsof vision and the good Father has seen fit to give me one of the alternative good kinds.

Praise God and thank Him always,amen. God bless you atoo.

God bless you with your sight...i know things like that are
really debilitating so I will pray that you are continually
improving. Twelve years ago, I had my heart plucked from
my body and a transplanted one put in...thank God I am
well and not really suffering and I just thank the Lord every day.
