Fear of fractures dissappeard trough fall

In consequence of a heavy accident, Ludwina's back is already troubling her for years now and again. She has to move regularly for it, she has to swim and to make exercises. Some ten years ago a doctor told her she had one vertebra, similar to that of a woman of 80 years. At the end of 2006 she went back to a doctor because she needed a prescription for the physiotherapist. He was of the opinion that she had not shown up for a very long time indeed.

Whoever offers praise glorifies Me ..

HE WHO SACRIFICES THANK-OFFERINGS HONOURS ME, AND HE PREPARES THE WAY SO THAT I MAY SHOW HIM THE SALVATION OF GOD Psalm 50:23

On Saturday the 16th of April, Ludo went to sit down at night on the edge of his bed, and he felt something darting into his groin and thigh bone.
When he wanted to sit down, he had to stretch his leg, otherwise it was too painful. Ludo prayed for it immediately and he proclaimed the Word of God over his body.

Sorting!

In Belgium we figured it out: the time that you could just dump your trash on the sidewalk for the garbage truck to pick it up is long gone. Television, glass, cans, green waste… everything used to end up in 1 bag, cart or box. If people back then would have told us one day we would be sorting that junk ourselves, we would have had a good laugh about it. Now, as the years have passed, we are there: we are so used to sorting the stuff, that we are shocked when we find someone that does not do so, because it serves our environment!

So who did invent sorting really? God, of course!
You could object that when God created the world there was no paper trash nor were green waste containers required. But God taught us how to sort more than merely visible trash. He also taught us sorting our thoughts, a practice that, if well done, contributes to a happy life.

“Set your minds on things above, not on earthly thing” (Colossians 3:2) is His commandment. “demolish strongholds… that sets itself up against the knowledge of God…” (2 Corinthians 10:3-6) is another advice He gave us. After all these years some of us have still not excelled in this type of sorting. All too often we still fill ourselves with every possible thought and junk that we can find, the media being well-willing to serve our every need...

With the holidays coming up my suggestion to you is this: try sorting your thoughts, leading them instead of them leading you. This type of sorting will change your life, and in time, the whole world!

Enjoy your holidays!
Many blessings,
