Wives - and FLARE UP Left knee

Wednesday was a day of Phone and Zoom - I spoke to Jen, Jane, Lilian and Sue.  All are coping, all with various difficulties, which probably describes everybody at the moment.  And I spent a while trying to get through to the doctor's surgery. It appears that my long overdue diabetes blood test was not done with the others...    On the doubleplusgood side, all the other results are in the normal range apart from the inflammation levels which are raised.  But I know that my arthritis is in an active phase - the pain is telling me. My left knee is very painful at the moment.

On Thursday a letter came through the door changing my Hospital appointment with the Arthritis Specialist (for the 4th time) - and changing it back to a hospital visit not a telephone consultation which it was.  I rang up to say I could not make Thursday and could I have a new date.  The receptionist however thought it might still be a telephone consultation and is going to sort it out and get back to me...

I will now have to keep following up on that - as I can do Thursday, provided it is by telephone.

I feel exhausted. And look forward so much to the promised time on earth when "No resident will say "I am sick"".  I hope to be there. I hope we all will be.  World events are rushing along, down the path the Bible prophecy foretold.

Anyway, enough droning on about my health (or lack of it) and I must return to the subject of the blog - WIVES.   

The second item in the Seminar was:  Wives Rejoice in Your Husbands.  The cited Scripture was Proverbs 14:1. "The truly wise woman builds up her house, But the foolish one tears it down with her own hands."

Do we build up our husband in our speech to him, and to others about him?   Doing so is the course of wisdom.

And another question:  Can I add even more joy to my marriage?

Its a good question. A husband and wife can work at making each other happy - or they can make each other unhappy. There is so much sadness in the world. Why not be happy?

And this Seminar contains advice from the Originator of the marriage arrangement, from the Maker's Manual, God's inspired word.
