ANGELS and ANOTHER SLEEPLESS NIGHT

ANGELS
https://youtu.be/1SiylvmFI_8
An Angel Loves you each every day
Till you both meet and your earthly time is at an end,
your Angel shall never go away.
Come rain or shine or snow, your Angel is always there.
For you command not, cause your Angel is everlasting night or day,
As your Angel you should know, actually Cares…
With Love to You All!

ANOTHER SLEEPLESS NIGHT

https://youtu.be/KodNFsP6r88
Dreams of fear, fighting the snake as it took someone dear.
Cut its head off did I, with GOD’s help I watched it die.
None the less, I was so troubled, I prayed through Christ Jesus.
For our FATHER GOD to calm my soul as together we shall defeat the beast!
Then as early morn began, I began to awake from my rest.
I am so very, very tired but I do know now.
That one day, as I go to my final rest and I am at peace.
Knowing I have done right, with my time on this earth.
FATHER GOD helped me fight the good fight, I will have finished this race.
Most important, I will have kept my Faith!
With Love from Sir Richard.

I HEARD ANGEL WINGS YESTERDAY!

I HEARD ANGEL WINGS YESTERDAY!

https://youtu.be/1SiylvmFI_8
Really, I was on the couch watching some TV during a chore break and I heard the fluttering of wings. First thought, the LORD has sent one of His angels to bring me home?? Turns out, it was a little bird behind the couch that flew into our home and was trying to leave through our front window. Bird and myself are both OK :) 

With Love and all that heaven will allow,

FIVE YEARS AGO ON MAY 7th 2014

FIVE YEARS AGO ON MAY 7th 2014 HOW JOYCE NARROWLY ESCAPED DEATH FROM BLOOD POISONING?

https://youtu.be/1SiylvmFI_8

E. Coli lives in the gut of everyone and it is normally controlled by other good bacteria, which prevents it from causing problems but sometimes E. coli can get out of the gut quite randomly and then multiply because there are not other bacteria to prevent it doing this.
That's when it can cause massive infection, often in the form of Blood Poisoning, or Sepsis. This is because most people are not seeking treatment quickly enough; when she start to have symptoms such as a fever and trembling.

E. Coli or so I was told later, was something of a potential cause when a person begins to feel unwell a couple of days before near collapse.
When the infection started she felt a little shaky in her arms and legs, as if they were trembling very slightly, and she also felt a little short of breath.
The following day she was in the hospital again and felt quite well but by that evening her limbs again suddenly started shaking severely. 
Realizing such excessive shivering known medically as rigors was a sign of a high fever according to Hospital Staff.
Joyce was coming down with something and her face was terribly flushed she suddenly found herself unable to catch her breath properly. The infected usually are gasping for breath which is very terrifying!

All one knows is that when your breathing is that bad it can be also a sign of heart failure, this is when you need an Ambulance! Once in the Hospital it is revealed that her body was fighting a massive infection.
One test which measures the amount of a protein in the blood show that high amounts are linked to an infection produced a result of 384mg per litre of blood. A normal result is five mg or under. 

You are usually immediately prescribed strong antibiotics through a drip to battle the infection.
Normally, one usually cannot stop shaking and part of your mind goes blank too. You don't think of the how and why of the situation. 
You just think: "Please Help Me!"
Test results together with scans of her kidneys, abdomen and chest revealed that Joyce had been struck with a virulent infection triggered by E. coli in the body.
The bacteria, which normally live in the colon, had without any obvious cause escaped the intestine and moved to the kidneys/bladder from where it has entered the blood stream.
This then triggered Sepsis or Blood Poisoning, which is caused by the body's response to the infection. Rather than helping to get rid of Sepsis, the Immune System makes it worse by releasing a high number of infection fighting proteins known as cytokines. These proteins, rather than detecting the infection, cause damage to the organs of the body and affect blood circulation.

After a few hours the antibiotics kicked in, then Joyce's shaking had stopped and she started drifting in and out of sleep. During this time the lab results which confirmed the blood poisoning which had been caused by E. coli. I was noting down this all I could for something to do other then comfort as I had been awake for the last 48 hours.
As a observer I was absolutely shocked at the sheer randomness of it.
It's quite frightening how it can strike at any time and there's nothing you can do about it!
Especially if one has had Sepsis before which she had in the form of flesh eating disease in 2008 so she was then prone to Sepsis that would strike anywhere on her body.
Though this type of E. Coli infection can strike anyone, children and the elderly are more vulnerable as their immune systems are not as strong.

The only after-effects of this illness were tiredness and weakness.
To help boost their health after you now have to take probiotic drinks twice a day.
Probiotics claim to increase the number of healthy or good bacteria in the gut. "Good" bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract are part of the body's immune system. The gut contains more immune cells than anywhere else in the body and these help to prevent bad bacteria from growing in the bowel or entering the body through the wall of the intestines to cause infection.
Drinking two to three litres of water a day to flush out bad bacteria and also drinks if two glasses of cranberry juice, as research suggests components in the juice may disable E. Coli bacteria.

Sepsis kills up to 50 per cent of sufferers partly because it strikes so quickly and the infection overwhelms the body. If I hadn't called that Ambulance and the Hospital had not given the right treatment, Joyce could have been dead within 24 hours…
Yet the worst was yet to come and I was in denial, as I am no Doctor. 
Joyce came home as this was her wish not to be in a Hospice.
GOD knew, as He was ready to call Joyce home and on May 27th He did. AMEN.

I HAVE BECOME JOB

I HAVE BECOME JOB

In the Old Testament Job 1

1 In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil. 2 He had seven sons and three daughters, 3 and he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys, and had a large number of servants. He was the greatest man among all the people of the East.

4 His sons used to hold feasts in their homes on their birthdays, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5 When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would make arrangements for them to be purified. Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering for each of them, thinking, “Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular custom.

6 One day the angels came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them. 7 The LORD said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”

Satan answered the LORD, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.”

8 Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.”

9 “Does Job fear God for nothing?” Satan replied. 10 “Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. 11 But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face.”

12 The LORD said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger!”

Then Satan went out from the presence of the LORD…

Richard here, to tell the truth I am working hard every day to become closer to GOD.

Then as for myself being “blameless and upright,” I am always trying to be careful to avoid doing evil. Well, let’s just say that my work is daily, to become even more righteous. So, I would like to testify my story of FAITH with you if I may?

My life I feel at times is a series of crises punctuated by major disasters big and small but I always keep trying. For all of us, is this not what we all do each day of our short lives to continue on till one by one you and I plus every other individual is called home by the LORD.

Just 28 years ago Joyce and I met and just a mere 21 years ago, we had a combined family with my wife Joyce we had her 3 my 2 plus 2 house guests, 2 boyfriends one a cousin, a cat and not to soon after this 3 puppy dogs. Every day was a challenge and adventure at the same time. The thing that I Loved the most was my Wife Joyce both of us like 2 log poles holding the other up when needed. We traveled life’s road and have been there and done that, made it through moments of pee your pants giggles, struggle and strife. Yet my life on this earth was made better With Joyce we were a team.

The Christmas one year was our lesson in gluttony, for I was the present decorative wrapper and when Joyce got the troops and things done would come into the parental fortress of; those who must be obeyed or when voluntold! We both wrapped till three in the morning and were exhausted after this but we did it with LOVE as this was a tradition.

This year though the tree was almost buried (promised Joyce I would never post the photo), all the way up to the Star Tree Topper both of us had a night cap and looked at the insanity of our efforts but eh? Tradition and if you looked at it was sort of an art form. OK maybe if you looked hard with your eyes and imagination while Bing sang “Oh Holy Night” in the background. Now the rules were that this day was the only day I did not have to make coffee for Joyce and our family was only to wake us up at 9:00 AM with our Christmas stockings and coffee for Mom and I, which all could open their stockings but NOT the presents. This is a Voluntold and Not Negotiable At All! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8847nrkci34

Joyce was not a spring out of bed person, as you could have a War beside her side of the bed and she slept through it. I on the other hand woke up at a creaking of the floor. As this is why I knew that after we crashed at 3:30 AM, that my youngest daughter was down stairs already. Drooling at the presents up to the tree top and reading the labels for hers. Then another child and another till each of the “I CAN”T WAIT” had their turn and now the long hall to 9:00 AM.

Tribble Dog dies, Lucy Dog dies, Lily Dog dies! Other friends do not know what to say and they just drift away…

For the ones who do know, they have nothing more to say and I feel helpless once again.

Another night of restless nightmarish sleep, I wake up drenched in sweat, scared, paranoid, again and again... (Last night it was bad again (March 25th, 2017) as I could only see my puppy Lily Beth’s face just before they put her down. I CRIED all night like I am now. I told her how sorry I was and I know she knew what was about to happen as I failed her too. Yet now It is so lonely here, sorry for being a bother.)

I just want to crawl into a ball, into/under a blanket, under a rock, cause Joyce also died from what her dog Lily Beth died of after her; Congestive Heart Disease and from my life Joyce is missing.

Once upon a time I could help others but I cannot now help myself for Joyce I am missing you... In grief I am HOPELESSLY TRAPPED!

Every moment of every day I am experiencing what I can only describe as intolerable emotional pain, which is unrelenting, ever pressing and directed from different sources consistently all the time.

WHAT HOPE FEELS LIKE

https://youtu.be/cjY9TVTwap8

HOPE is the motivation that we all have known from the time of our own creation.

On through, to the individual growing pains for each member of our families.

From our first beginnings newborns, to this present day, then on toward the end to each of our own individual destinies end.

Each of us waits daily, eagerly for HOPE!

For as each day brings renewal with one or another, again we all await with HOPE.

Nothing from GOD is greater than the gift of LOVE and HOPE! To give your life so another person can live is the ultimate proof of love. During the night that JESUS CHRIST was betrayed, He told His disciples of His intention to give His life in exchange for mankind. He told them: “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends” and then He set the ultimate example of self-sacrifice by going to the cross.

For from this without giving another HOPE, what is seen is no HOPE at all.

For whom HOPE’s, for what they already have?

Because if we were to HOPE for what others HOPE for, patiently in HOPE.

Then and only then, will we know "WHAT HOPE FEELS LIKE"!

So remember, once you have it;

“NEVER GIVE UP HOPE”!

FOR IF YOU LOSE HOPE, THEN NEXT COMES THE LOSS OF YOUR FAITH.

WITHOUT FAITH, YOU BECOME TRULY OUT OF TOUCH WITH GOD

AND THEN YOU WILL BE CAST OUT INTO THE ELEMENTS, AS YOU BECOME NAKED, VULNERABLE, IN FOREVER PAIN AND HOPELESS…

As for me well, I have Cancer X’s 2, Heart Disease, Diabetes Type 2 that rejects the insulin I take. Which caused Non-Viral Hepatitis, onto Non Alcoholic Cirrhosis and 40% of my Liver is now dead and my Cancer is back but instead of my left arm it is in my neck, which will be confirmed in April.

I have had 20 Cancerous polyps in my bottom that were removed, also an unrepairable both side of me hernia mesh that that tore away and has pushed things sort of out of whack.

My prostrate is enlarged but not yet cancerous, yet?

Neuropathy from my left shoulder to the tips of my left fingers, also in my feet due to the Diabetes and arthritis in both knees which is really painful should I walk and for shits and giggles a bit of COPD thrown in along with and I still do not believe them, PTSD since Joyce went home to the LORD.

Job 17

1 My spirit is broken,

my days are cut short,

the grave awaits me.

So I am going to have a small bucket list of 1 thing that I can afford because I am fearless!

Again, tears I have a plenty and if tears were like money, I’d be rich!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vg5qDljEw7Q

I HAVE BECOME JOB…

As with my torment I often feel like Job,

who I am not!

I feel it is the same test of FAITH within me.

Within all of us really, the same test of FAITH

As we sometimes live our lives just as Job did.

Job 19:25-27

25 I know that my redeemer lives,

and that in the end he will stand on the earth.

26 And after my skin has been destroyed,

yet in my flesh I will see God;

27 I myself will see him

with my own eyes—I, and not another.

How my heart yearns within me!

Amen…

P.S. Be without fear in the face of your enemies.

Be brave and upright, that God might love thee.

Safeguard the helpless.

 

 

Psalm 51:1-17 A Thought For & From Sir Richard

 
PSALM 51:1-17

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SiylvmFI_8

Have mercy on me, O GOD,
    according to Your unfailing Love;
according to Your great compassion    blot out my transgressions.
Wash away all my iniquity    and cleanse me from my sin.

For I know that my transgressions
    and my sin is always before me.
Against You, You only, have I sinned    and done what is evil in Your sight;
so you are right in Your verdict    and justified when You judge.
Surely I was sinful at birth,    sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
Yet You desired faithfulness even in the womb;    You taught me wisdom in that secret place.

Cleanse me with hyssop (the holy herb) and I will be clean;
    wash me and I will be whiter than snow.
Let me hear joy and gladness;    let the bones You have crushed rejoice.
Hide Your face from my sins    and blot out all my iniquity.

Create in me a pure heart, O GOD
    and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me from Your presence    or take Your HOLY SPIRIT from me.
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation    and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

Then I will teach other transgressors Your ways,
    so that sinners will turn back to You.
Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O GOD,    You who are GOD my SAVIOUR
    and my tongue will sing of Your righteousness.
Open my lips, LORD,    and my mouth will declare Your praise.
You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;    You do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
My sacrifice, O GOD, is a broken spirit;    a broken and contrite heart
    You, GOD, will not despise.

In the name of You GOD the Father,

   CHRIST JESUS the Son and the HOLY SPIRIT;

   I pray – Amen…

WHAT WOMEN CAN DO BETTER THAN MEN?

WHAT WOMEN CAN DO BETTER THAN MEN?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FbyVgeS3Js
My wife Joyce, according to the Medical Examiner, on May 27th 2014 went home to our LORD due to, Congestive Heart Failure…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SiylvmFI_8
1 in 3 women die of heart disease and stroke, which is more than all forms of cancer combined. Although 9 in 10 women have at least one risk factor for developing heart disease, only about half are aware of the issue at all.
Are the signs of heart attack the same for Women & Men?
In the past, it was believed that women and men had different signs of heart attack. This may not be the case. Both women and men may experience typical or non-typical symptoms such as nausea, sweating, pain in the arm, throat, jaw or pain that is unusual. However, women may describe their pain differently than men. Nevertheless, the most common symptom in women and men is still chest pain. Cardiovascular disease (heart disease and stroke) is a leading cause of death for Canadian/American women.
