You have been born for this important work. I'm praising Him not only for your friendship, but your prayer life! Thank you for powerful prayers for us. God gave us favor in all things and huge opportunities to testify to the truth! The Holy Spirit was in that courtroom! We are amazed at God's presence and how He honors His Word!<br /><br />I will cover you with my prayers this month. You're right, it is hard when memories flood us of our family members who have gone home.

I love that in our differences, we also, can learn from them.<br /><br />Like sister Edie's comment, my take on this is that even though no one likes to suffer, as Christians, we know that we go through fiery trials sometimes. But when we do, hopefully, we emerge to be stronger in character and the "dross" be removed. That way, the material comes out for the Refiner...[Prov.25:4].<br /><br />God bless you all and thank you for always encouraging me...RCUBEshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03726426726039665564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61790705902516172.post-67495529665319709052009-12-04T11:11:41.024-08:002009-12-04T11:11:41.024-08:00ack, I don't know if my comment posted!

I don't feel qualified to answer it (as many of life's questions) I guess I can just pray that terminally ill patients get the most peace/healing by knowing God and the comfort He brings, no matter what medications they are taking.<br /><br />I also said that you truly are a blessing. A Light. When I think about you working in that environment, I always get the image of a Lighthouse.~*Michelle*~https://www.blogger.com/profile/12973255141669832129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61790705902516172.post-88803583922008654082009-12-04T11:07:55.516-08:002009-12-04T11:07:55.516-08:00This is a tough question.....and one I don't f...This is a tough question.....and one I don't feel "qualified" judge or to answer....as many questions in life, lol.<br /><br />I can only pray that the terminally ill patients find more peace/healing with knowing Jesus..... no matter what medication they are taking.<br /><br />I am so thankful that God has placed you where you are......what a shining Light you are.

God is always sufficient to help even the terminally ill through what they are experiencing, and that illness may be His tool and their last hope at finding Him and the everlasting life that He offers. Providing mind altering drugs can hinder that. <br /><br />God promises that He will not give us more than we can bear.<br /><br />I smoked mj as a teen and it did not do anything for me that would make it appealing to me for any medicinal purpose.<br /><br />I always love your thoughts Rosel!<br />Much love!Ediehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11154092288646304188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61790705902516172.post-71847241795346753742009-12-04T05:07:39.903-08:002009-12-04T05:07:39.903-08:00Rosel,

Very heart breaking and in some cases seemingly impossible. I always stay prayed up and covered by The Blood of Jesus and listen to the Holy Spirit when I'm with them. Many are cold, hard hardened and distant but I know that the seeds of the Word and the anointing that is present during the Bible study will someway, somehow break through and make a difference in their lives!<br /><br />Rosel, I'm always so blessed by your posts and so appreciate you sharing the "down and dirty" of the humanity God puts in your path. Each and everyone are just as precious to Him as you and I. Every time I read your posts I'm reminded of that once again........There but by the Grace of God go I.<br /><br />Sweet Blessings!<br />JackieJackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08471225291665810800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61790705902516172.post-7878711895189257232009-12-03T09:22:34.584-08:002009-12-03T09:22:34.584-08:00I agree with Andrea.

It's been shown to be quite helpful for pain/stress relief for some specific maladies.<br /><br />But,just like any other pain med, it's harmful when used by people who do not need it.<br /><br />Because he knows (even though I try not to show it) that it annoys me, my middle son makes jokes sometimes about MJ. But the truth is that I don't know any Believers who think it's fine to smoke it. It's kind of weird because my neighbors who just moved in across the street, have a son 1 yr older than my middle son and he openly smokes MJ out on the their deck.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15692160455833039396noreply@blogger.com
