JPPT1974's Thurs Thoughts 3/6/2025:
But family should be
About in love and in
Care and in the accepting
People for who they are
Sadly that they are in status
Richness and that it should
Never be about status but about
Love and sadly family over in status
Doesn't look over at those who are beyond them and
Their level no matter how many times we try to please them.
It seems nothing at all is ever good for them.
Really so sad and horrific in not accepting people
Just the way they are in the old Billy Joel song of the same name.
Take care JPPT. God says our real family is the family he adopts us into. Families desiring status is a remnant of how people are seeking self-righteousness. The Bible says the Lord has made us righteous b/c of what he's already done on the Cross.

Nevertheless, our blood families are super important, & Satan loves to attack it There are many ways he does this & he's very good at it in addition to them desiring status: the man doesn't want to lead or provide or neglects the children, the woman brings the man away from God, the children ruling the parents. He designed it to be God -> Father -> Mother -> Child. This isn't me making it up or following what conservative culture of the 80's said or whatever, this is Genesis, & a common theme thruout the Bible, & Paul iterates it in the NT. ) Often times it's Children -> Mother w/ the father out of the picture & God seemingly out of it. & now he's adding a 2nd in a fake imitation of what it s/b. But the Lord IS still in it & so while Satan is good at messing it up, he can't interfere w/ the Lord's plans for his people.

JPPT1974's Weekend Thoughts 3/7-3/9/2025:
People that care about
Status and don't seem to
Care about in the getting to
Know others as a person
Just they are blinded by status
Rather than love and how
People need to not look at status
It is about love and care.

But that family doesn't
Have to be by blood
It can be by the family
You chose from rather than a
Bond of blood and how
Jesus wants us to know about
Family and love and to
Care and share for others
Rather than by status.

People who have gone
By status really get blinded
How that by status they
Can lose everything and everybody
They loved or thought they love
By it and how that everything and
Everybody one by one departs them
Just remember family is by love
Not by status on it.

JPPT1974's Mon Thoughts 3/10/2025:
Family is not united by
Blood always and for
Those who are with blood
Who are not by love and
Look over at status sadly they are
Missing out and that how love is
United by only love and care not status
And not even blood my friends.

Understanding that when people
Bond by love and overlook by blood
Doing so by love and kindness
Zeroing in on bonding and
United in love and care
Family should be about those
Latter two things love, care, and sharing.
Not by status or even blood who only
Care about status sadly.

JPPT1974's Wed Thoughts 3/12/2025:
My father has Parkinson's Disease.
It is really so tragic and
Sad to see him being such a
Vibrant man to know having to
Go from using a cane to a walker
Now in a wheelchair that he is trying to get
Used to as this is his new normal now.
His wife of fifty-six years and myself
Live with him and help him.

New normal that is the
Understatement and in the affecting
Not just him but by myself and
Really most of all, that of my mom
As that he was in the US Air Force
It may had to do with Agent Orange that
In the affecting on those who were in the
Military not just in those who didn't see
Combat like my dad didn't but it had a tremendous
Effect on him and others like him.

How that now he
Is going to be going
From in the having on a
Cane to walk in to a
Walker and now that he
Is going in a wheelchair and
We are looking for in an electric wheelchair
On it as it will help him in
Making him be much more
Easier to be in an electric wheelchair.

He was in learning about
His Parkinson's Disease diagnosis five
Years as he began to notice
Some symptoms and that
Due to being a man and
Mom and I being women as
We have to both hold him
In trying to when he was walking with a cane
Due to his falling down.

That there were very
Kind strangers on it that when
He fell as mom can't at all
Do it on her own like I can't
But it is our new normal.

God doesn't want His children to
Hurt but that He just
Knows that our father would
Be diagnosed over in the
Parkinson's as nothing ever
Catches him off guard and
Knowing that we will have to
Watch over him around the clock
But all he does is nothing but sleep.

But that is life
And that even though
It is very hard to see our
Father like this but that
He has in the providing for the family the
Breadwinner over in the family
Now we are the ones who need to take
Care of him over in this diagnosis.
