A few days ago we found out that my husband has pre-diabetes. His blood sugar is too high. We are scheduled to go to a class in March and find out what we are to do about this. I know he will have to change the way he eats. We need to be more active as well. But you can look at it as a death sentence, or you can apply yourself to find out all you can about it and do the things that are necessary to get healthy! You can make it an opportunity to change things that have gone on the wrong way for far too long. I have heart disease. I had a heart attack at 43. We were given tons of information about heart disease and the changes we'd need to make. We made those changes in our diet then, and now I have no blockages in my heart, my blood pressure is down, my cholesterol is down and I am 65 years old! I have been here enjoying life for 22 years after my heart attack because we faced things together. Jesus said he'd never leave us nor forsake us, and he hasn't. I am blessed to have a wonderful husband who has faced all the hard things in life with me.
It's the same in any situation. You can see it as an opportunity to change and be something new, or you can see it as something unfair that's happened to you and sulk about it and be depressed. I don't want to live like that and I am sure that we can lick this disease too. I also have Schizophrenia and take med's for it every day of my life. That too is something we faced together, and we have raised 3 children and now have 7 grandchildren!
There are things in this world and in our lives that require discipline. There were factors in my early life that pre-disposed me to heart disease and schizophrenia and I can either choose to sulk and be mad at life for throwing me 2 major diseases to deal with, or I can use all the advise, medication, and counseling I received to change my life and I am fortunate to have the type of personality that doesn't give up easily. There are problems in the lives of every man, woman and child. I can give up, or get going and deal with things,.
Life is not easy. Nobody has a guarantee that it will be smooth-sailing. But we all can change the way we look at life, and be supportive of the people we love that have problems. There's nothing we can't handle ... together! God is accessible to everyone. He is everywhere at all times and He loves us. All we have to do is tune in to his frequency and listen when He speaks to us in the quiet place in our heart, our lives. I know he is pleased that we are facing things together and are willing to make whatever changes it will require. I've received all the help you can think of to deal with my problems. It has made life easier by far. And to know that God will never leave me, nor desert me, has made my life beautiful. No matter what comes, I know God is with me. He is with you too... whether or not you invite Him, God is with you. He loves you. He will help you...all you have to do is ask, believe, receive!
