UP Beat or Beat Up
==================
.
My husband, Edward has always been one to give the shirt off his
back, literally, or to give his last bit of change.
.
He never asks for anything in return and he is a very hard
worker and provides well for his family. Recently, I had knee
surgery and gall bladder surgery, and he worked and took care of
me and still had time for our three kids, all less than 11 years
of age.
.
It just seems that nothing ever goes his way and now we have
been kicked out of our home of six years so our landlord can
move her friends in. We have to find another place to live soon
…and I know we will.
.
I just feel so bad that no matter how hard Edward tries,
he never gets anything or anywhere.
.
I spend a lot of time trying to understand how someone like him
stays so upbeat.
.
I have prayed for guidance, and I have prayed for silly things
like for him to be chosen for something of value. I realize we
are blessed with three happy, healthy children and fairly good
health ourselves, but now my prayers are just that he may
receive a pat on the back or something just to give him a little
boost to go on trudging through what seems to be a meager

5 Ways God Uses Problems
……
The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you – depending on how you respond to them.
.
Unfortunately, most people fail to see how God wants to use problems for good in their lives. They react foolishly and resent their problems rather than pausing to consider what benefit they might bring. .
Here are five ways God wants to use the problems in your life:
.
1. God uses problems to DIRECT you.
.
Sometimes God must light a fire under you to get you moving. Problems often point us in a new direction and motivate us to change. Is God trying to get your attention?
.
Sometimes it takes a painful situation to make us change our ways. (Read Proverbs 20:30)
.
2. God uses problems to INSPECT you.
.
People are like tea bags…if you want to know what’s inside them, just drop them into hot ever water! Has God tested your faith with a problem What do problems reveal about you?
.
When you have many kinds of troubles, you should be full of joy, because you know that these troubles test your faith, and this will give you patience. (Read James 1:2-3)
.
3. God uses problems to CORRECT you.
Some lessons we learn only through pain and failure. It’s likely that as a child your parents told you not to touch a hot stove. But you probably learned by being burned. Sometimes we only learn the value of something…health, money, a relationship… by losing it.
.
It was the best thing that could have happened to me, for it taught me to pay attention to Your laws. (Read Psalm 119:71-72)
.
4. God uses problems to PROTECT you.
.
A problem can be a blessing in disguise if it prevents you from being harmed by something more serious. Last year a friend was fired for refusing to do something unethical that his boss had

The Power of Touch
==================
.
I worked as a medical/surgical nurse at a busy hospital and was
young in years and experience when this happened.
.
I had a patient to care for on my night shift along with eight
others. This particular patient did not talk, move or even give
me eye response when I was speaking to her.
.
She was alone; no family. She was a DNR (do not resuscitate),
no heroic measures for her, just let her be.
She was on the telemonitor, which watches what the heart is
doing, rate, rhythm, etc.
.
After I did my initial assessment (like a physical exam), I
repositioned her, placed pillows at the areas known to have
skin breakdown (any bony prominence) and tried to make her
more comfortable. Then I went to speak to the nurse watching
the telemonitor for the shift so I could find out her rhythm,
etc. to put in my nurse’s notes.
.
I was shocked when she pointed to the screen that displayed my
patient, “This is what a dying heart looks like.”
.
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. She didn’t look to be in
any distress when I was just with her. I asked a few questions
then quickly went back to the patient. Still no change.
.
As the evening went on, I got patients admitted from the emergency
room and things got very busy. I had to make time to check on my
“special” lady.
.
Every four hours I like to check vital signs if someone is in
this state. I took them again; pulse rate and blood pressure
were lower. I was standing at the bedside and could talk to the
telemonitor nurse over the intercom in the room. I asked her if
there has been any change.
.
“The heart rate is 60 and dropping.” While I was checking blood
pressure and breathing rate, suddenly there were two other
nurses and several nurses aide’s in the room. Since she was DNR,
there was absolutely nothing we could do.
.
The other members stood and watched as the voice over the
intercom said, “Heart rate is 50 and dropping.” Her respiratory
rate dropped from the normal 20 a minute to 15 then 10.
She was going.
.
I stood there feeling completely helpless. I must do something.
The only thing to do was pray.
.
“Heart rate is 40.”
.
I prayed silently and looked around the room. Everyone was just
standing, watching, with their hands clasped in front of them.
She was not struggling, but lying peacefully with her hands across
her chest, rising slower and slower as her breaths decreased.
.
Speaking to the intercom I said, “Her breathing is 5.”
Of course I am touching her while checking blood pressure but it
is not the same as “touching” her.
After a moment her breathing stopped completely.
