It's a much better thing than worry. At least let go and let God. He can do the impossible.

I have had many crazy things happen to me and my family over my lifetime. Worry doesn't save us but it's part of being human. I pray daily for my family, friends, and even my enemies if I have any! So hang in there. You've had 83yrs of life experiences and I know you and Sherry can weather the storms ahead and you know how to enjoy the moments in between!yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-81586378538763707092022-02-12T19:06:44.763-05:002022-02-12T19:06:44.763-05:00First of all, CONGRATULATIONS to your son for fast...First of all, CONGRATULATIONS to your son for fasting so long and reading the Bible and praying. This is admirable. You are proud of him, I'm sure. <br /><br />Two subjects you mention:<br /><br />FEAR - I have a fear of being under a table. I fear I'll wake up one morning and find myself under a table. So I cut the legs of all tables in our house. The family is angry with me because they sit on chairs and can't reach the low table on the ground. So I cut off the legs from the chairs. Now we are having arguments about it all. But I do love my family. If it was not for my family I would be arguing with perfect strangers.<br /><br />WORRY - You are so right that unnecessary worry gets us no where; but we all do it. Including me. I believe worrying is an insult to God because it betrays the fact that we don't trust Him to look after us. When I worry unduly I pray to God to forgive me.<br /><br />A priest I knew told me that he had made a deal with God. He will do his best to spread God's Word on earth; and God will do all the worrying.<br /><br />God bless you my friend; and God bless your family.<br /><br />Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-74226117553429312752022-02-12T16:46:39.613-05:002022-02-12T16:46:39.613-05:00That was wonderful with Jack, Jr and his 40 day fa...That was wonderful with Jack, Jr and his 40 day fast. I can't imagine all that he learned and gleaned from that time but I'm sure it was a very worthwhile time! And who can resist the beauty of the Sonoran desert in the winter! <br /><br />When son was younger, in his 20s, I always imagined and worry that I would get a call in the middle of the night from the morgue, the hospital or jail. I was grateful when the call did come it was from jail. That we could deal with. <br /><br />I have worried so much of my life away and I know they say it is such a low percentage of things that come true with what we worry about, so basically why worry? The older (and wiser) I get the less worried I seem to be. Maybe I'm finally realizing I'm not in control and allow the One who is in control to do what He does best and what He has promised :)<br /><br />Great post Jack!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-80723184068976398442022-02-12T14:45:37.798-05:002022-02-12T14:45:37.798-05:00Thanks for the words.

I would have said I didn't have fears (in my younger years), but now not so much. <br />My mind insists on dragging scenarios out and wanting to discuss them.<br />Thanks for putting your words out there.Susan Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834094675218254410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-22569357720622206022022-02-12T13:27:33.436-05:002022-02-12T13:27:33.436-05:00FIRST, huge congratulations to Jack Jr. What disc...FIRST, huge congratulations to Jack Jr. What discipline, I can't imagine!<br />Ironic. Our Bible study's focus the last two weeks has been on worry. After the video we were visiting and I admitted to having been a worrier -- worst-case scenario-er -- all my life. Our leader said, that's called 'conjuring.' (Yep, and I STILL do it; I've got a PhD in worrying.)<br /><br /><br /><br />Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.com
