Just As I Am

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ, I am sure that several of you will be able to relate - so here goes - by God's grace I have made it to my seventies! Some days or should I say most days it is a toss up on the statements I tell myself. Statements like - "why did you think you could do that?", to "Lord, you have to be kidding!" They aren't really hair raising situations but still they can be rather difficult to accomplish. For example, we have one of those beds that are adjustable and it came with an app. When we moved to our new place last year the remote was damaged so I needed to use my phone or ipad. So installing the app, not a problem, but would not work. Of course, I contacted customer support and explained the situation. First off, my bed that I bought in 2016 is really outdated and the nice gentleman told me that he might not be able to help. But, he would try, and with a little bit of research on his part he found a manual and being the IT guy he went to work. I am on my phone and also my Ipad as he is walking me through this process. All is well until he gets to the part that I have to reset the bed's modem. I began to chuckle because he explained to me that it was underneath the bed, attached to the main frame of the bed. Why did I chuckle, because I had to get down on my stomach and with my phone light and reaching to the center of the bed I found the little black box and the button that I needed to reset the modem. It was so hilarious, here I am on the hardwood floor stretching and looking for this little black box and a little button. Dear and precious sisters-in-Christ, God so has a sense of humor! As I was laughing at myself the young gentleman on the other end of the line was just as excited as me that he could help me and when I told him my age and why I was laughing he was so proud of himself that he could help. We had a little conversation afterwards and then I celebrated the fact that I could still do this and laugh about it. Yes, just as I am. The Lord created each one of us in His image and also created us with gifts and talents and so much more. Indeed, life is an adventure and walking in faith with Him is so beautiful and exciting and relaxing and refreshing. Let us pray - Abba Father, Praise to Thee and thank You O LORD, that You, who created us, continually and constantly and consistently watch over us, guide us, direct us, cleanse us, renew us, guard us, protect us, equip us, LOVE us, and sacrificed Your One and Only Son that we made spend eternity with Him. O, LORD, I pray for each dear sister-in-Christ today that she would celebrate and be still and also praise You for she comes before You and can say, LORD, "Just As I Am" and worship You. In Jesus Name, Amen. Living a life of thankfulness,
