Thank you for your prayers everyone and your compassion. It seems that 2Cor1:3 is so relevant when one needs prayer, the comfort He gives us so that we might comfort others. Praise God for His Living Word. Tsavah2@keeping you and your wife in prayer Tsavah2 for health ailments. Nothing worse brother.

Wading through the grimly lit swamps
Death lies waiting;
as harsh as the winter wind and
As soft as wool
knowing one day it will all be over.
Searching for an interruption; a break in the mud
Not sure if I’m just numb or it’s just a vacant buzzer that He turns up like a dimmer switch whenever I need reminding the pain ain’t mine.
So I keep on wading and I keep on hoping:
With the sunshine on our crosses
It’s what pulls us through
I know it should be straightforward that as Christians we should trust and not falter in our faith, but I know from personal experience I can tell anyone where to find assurance from God's Word but I still waver at times in surrendering completely to God. I believe it has been said many times that the hardest prayer is "Thy will be done." For the last few years my wife and I have struggled with health issues and I am concerned about what would be major surgery for my wife and due to her age it can be dangerous. If not for the Lord I would struggle through each day the older I get, "age may not weary" but it does make you feel more vulnerable. I look forward to that day when there will be no more pain, sadness or tears and we will be in the presence of our Lord forever. Yours in Faith Tsavah2
Thank you again. TSAVAH2@keeping you and your wife in prayer Tsavah2 for health ailments. Nothing worse brother.
Thank you so very much for your advice and understanding, it seems that we grow strongest in the Valleys where there seems so little light except the Lord's, and it becomes a catalyst for our Faith. Every battle we face causes to grow stronger. Sometimes one feels like a boxer who has been knocked out too many times, the getting up gets a little harder each time but with a hand from the Lord it makes it easier. I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME. Phil 4:13Hello Tsavah2;
I read your post, cut and blue-lighted the part that spoke to my heart. Remember when we were in our 20s and 30s? We were talking and concerned about different things back then. But as we get older we get more perspective about our faith, trust and asking God to tend to our health cares.
I realized a few years ago I'm too old to get into scraps-fights, arguing and getting angry because at my age it festers in me and this is not healthy or profitable, especially when my wife had witnessed this in my years past. I praise God for growing me up and guarding my heart, tongue and fists.
I feel it's because through more prayer, staying in God's Word and application, God matures us in wisdom, knowledge and care for others. This is good.
One of my daily prayers are health concerns of others and managing my health. Now, this doesn't mean God is going to give me perfect health until my last day on earth. It means that our trust and surrender to God is there as He guides and carries us through our times of illness and handicaps.
When I watch my wife laughing through a nice movie it brings a joy to my heart. When she is reading her Daily Bread I can see the peace in her. When she asks me to lead our evening Bible reading blesses me instead of my reminding her.
I'm with you, brother Tsavah2, God bless you, your wife, and entire family.

Thank you such for your advice and compassion, it seems at times that we spend a lot of times in the Valley as we grow older, but that is where we grow stronger. In the darkness God's light is brighest. Thank you from Tsavah2Hello Tsavah2;

we are nothing but memories
as they melt away into insignificance
not upon the pages of history
forgotten as meteors revolve flying free
with only the sun to remember them
they too are slowly burned away
into the ashes of yesterday...
