I hope you men and women will indulge my writings one more time from the BHMVAMC.

Rough night, LOL. Here’s the deal.

••••••••••NEWS FLASH••••••••••

WE ALL HAVE PROBLEMS! Many of you have problems that are much worse than mine, even though you believe mine is worse.

My secret to peace, comfort and joy in every situation is that I never look for comfort, peace and joy.

You only have to look at Christ, and after that, you become changed!

I don’t look for comfort, peace and joy when I’m sick or hurting and take these trips to the hospital, but by the power of Christ I take it with me, AND IT’S INFECTIOUS.

I love the following passage:

Philippians 4:4-8 KJVS
[4] Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. [5] Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. [6] Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. [7] And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. [8] Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

When you need to find that peace, look back through your life and realize all of the miracles God has brought you; AND PRAISE HIM because He is the peace, comfort and joy!

The above link contains several of my memories that help me. If you suffer from PTSD, try to pick those good memories in the bad times to fight the bad memories during that same time. They are there, we just have to keep fighting! You are still a warrior!
