Thank you! She was in the hospital a long time, 3 days.
Something might be wrong with her insulin pump-blood sugar monitor combo machine. She was having very high sugars. She is stable now and they are having her go back to the older way of insulin delivery and the hand held glucose level meter like I use. I do like the old way best.

She is at an appointment now to have the pump looked at.

Everyone, please continue to pray for Erica, she is really having a hard time. Pray for her to have inner peace, restored strength and that she will feel joy again very soon.

“God Bless my sister with health, Amen”

Veteran’s Day

On Veteran’s Day, we celebrate,
In quiet moments, contemplate.
A holiday for civil workers,
Government folks, and other shirkers,

Ask them yourself, about the con,
“Are you essential?” Mais oui, non?
When evil storms blow into town,
The government offices all shut down.

So they’re off from work upon this day,
While all the Veterans still earn pay,
Having finished the job they were given to do.
They have different work now, that they must see through.

In trenches, on beaches, and planes in the air,
They went off to fight with scarcely a care,
At least so it seemed for they smiled all the while,
And they finished their work with admirable style.

Not once did they ask for much more than their smokes,
And they tell the old stories as if they were jokes,
Although we don't know what the day is about,
Today, while they work, they’re still sorting things out.

Everyone’s posts are special this Veterans Day. I was going to try to pick one to declare as today’s opener. I couldn’t pick just one!!

So today, I declare all posts at Amy’s Place a Tribute to our Veterans!

“If not for the brave, there would be no land of the free”

Thank you all ... Thank you Vets!!

This past week I listened to a sermon about the whole armour of God. HE queried’ when we think of the soldier wearing this armour, what do we visualize?’
‘A Roman soldier ... right?’ It has been explained many times in this way. Well, he posited a new idea to me. "What if this armour was more spiritual than physical? ... Meaning the verses actually describe the priestly garments."

“Take unto you” ... “The breast plate of righteousness”, Exodus says of the priestly garments ...”the breastplate of judgment,” “standing and gird with TRUTH”.

King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
“And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;”
feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel...(prepared and ready to go in peace,)

“taking the shield of FAITH, Where with we are able to QUENCH ALL the fiery darts of the wicked "

Take the helmet of SALVATION (knowing, believing we have given our life to Christ Jesus and he has accepted us).

and the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God.

Praying always with all prayer and supplication for all saints.

Being an ambassador for Christ Jesus. ... as I ought.

___________________________________________________________ I did not do this justice. Sorry. The idea that there was another way to consider the full armour of God as being the priestly dress of the saints.

____________________________________________________________

Ephesians 6:11-20

King James Version (KJV)

“11.Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12.For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13.Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14.Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15.And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16.Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17.And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

18.Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

19.And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

20.For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak."
