Dear KKIM family,
Good Morning! How are you this day?
Flag Day is coming up June 14th and Father’s Day June 17th. Flag Day is my Dad’s birthday, I will never forget that on HIS Birthday he bought me my first brand new bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes he did!!!!!!!!! That’s the kind of Dad I had!!!!!!!!!!!! Father’s Day is fast approaching…………My Birthday is July 4th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a sign on my desk that get’s the attention of most everybody, in fact some grab the little plaque and hold it, “For I know the plans I have for you,” Declares the Lord, “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11
This is my testimony to you this day……………
I was asked by Ambassador Media Magazine(It’s in the June Edition) this Father’s Day Question, What is the quality you most hope your children remember about you?
I answered, “That I believed in them that they could do what they thought they could not.”
AMEN! Our Children need our encouragement! Even you and I need daily encouragement!
My Children are achieving things they never thought they would…….because of Godly encouragement.
I grew up under the influence of true men of God, my Dad and Grandpa Caraway. Grandpa Moede passed away when my Dad was 13 years of age. I was surrounded by Pastor Kuamme, Sunday School Teachers Mr. Fredrickson and Mrs. Hartberg and countless others in my hometown of Windom, Minnesota which is so special to me because of the values I learned.
I read this quote this morning from Minnesota Twins manager Ron Gardenhire commenting on the struggles of a rookie player………
“It’s not going to be all rosy here. So you’re going to have to battle through some of these times to actually see what kind of character you have.”
When the going get’s tough, the tough get going. Godly tough………by putting the Armour of God on.
What Gardenhire said, is just what my Dad would say……..life is not a bed of roses son, but through hard work you will make your way.
These, what seem to me, simple lessons in life are HUGE, as I don’t know if society overall knows them. More are growing up wanting life to serve them, they want life handed to them, as Dad used to say, “On a silver platter.”!
Our kids are making their own way……….Greg managing 10 restaurants in the Denver area living his dream, Gretchen out in Mule Shoe Texas living alone and working at the Wildlife Refuge living her dream and attending Eastern NM University.Stephannie working in physics for a research business in Denver living her dream, Mike working in Denver in computer support for Dish network, he is not where he wants to be yet in his career, but he will get there. Lars at Columbia College living his dream in studying Cinematography and he now has his own apartment!!!! All 5 kid’s are doing extremely well, PRAISE GOD! They are all growing at their own speed in their relationship with Jesus Christ.
“You will fail at merging a family together.” That one really hurt me and Sharon!! But look above what I just wrote!!!! PRAISE GOD!!! All things are possible through Jesus Christ! Our home is built on the rock of Jesus Christ! It was and is, only possible with Jesus Christ.
It has been a journey, and continues to be a journey, it of course was and is not easy, only with Jesus we go forth in His strength and wisdom.
This is the key in our house………Thanking the Lord for my wife Sharon who stands by me everyday. Thanking the Lord for a hard working wife…….she put’s in a very hard day everyday as an RN. Patients love her for her Godly attitude! Thanking God for a Women of God who has great patients, a Women of God who has a peaceful presence, some say Sharon is so quiet……yes she is, but inside God is speaking to her and in her Godly manner she carries out Godly discernment. I have learned much from Sharon, my friend Tom Johnson says, “Sharon is a strong Women.”……….yes she is, people make the mistake of underestimating her Godly strength, she has been through much in life that has made her stronger, besides I am the loud mouth of the family!!!!!!!!!!! As Friend Chuck Bates says, “You say enough for the both of you, Dewey!” LOL LOL!
Sharon has taught me that words are not always the answer, being quiet, is often the best answer.
One final note on my comments about Sharon.When I wrote briefly about her this past weekend on Facebook, I got the most replies I have ever had on Facebook, mostly from Women. That told me guys, that we need to affirm our wives more! AMEN!
“For I know the plans I have for you,” Declares the Lord, “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Psalm 29:11
I still can also remember those few in my life who offered me nothing but discouragement, “Oh you won’t make it in radio.” Well 34 years later I am still chugging along!
I have to say, what is missing much with father’s is the discernment of Jesus Christ. Nothing is possible without the discernment that Jesus offers us. You see all this drama in the World? Much caused by the lack of discernment. To have discernment you have to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, plain and simple.
I meet to many, who say they are Christian, but they go off on their own “feelings” and not Christ given discernment.
If more so called Christians would use Christ given discernment we would have a much better world.
So many thrive on Drama, Drama that sucks out energy from families, Churches, Businesses. Drama is not have Jesus Christ.
I guess this message from Fullnessonline kind of summarizes what I have just shared PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 5, 2012. Surrendering your life to God brings His kingdom into your life. Wise are those who know they are not the masters of their lives. Your goals in life are not your own, but rather your goals are to say what He says and do what He does. Take then this opportunity to yield and be at peace with your Maker. In His kingdom Jesus is always Lord and Master. Like the rich young ruler of Scripture was advised, you do well to sell all and seek first His kingdom. Peace, joy and righteousness reign there. Burdens are lifted from your shoulders. You fall to your knees and surrender all over again without thinking or resistance. In that position, your life is refreshed and transformed. Surrender.
Matthew 5:3 (GW) “Blessed are those who recognize they are spiritually helpless. The kingdom of heaven belongs to them.”
Here’s Doc Joe……
How can you tell if your diabetes management plan is working? Monitor your blood sugar at home. Daily testing with a computerized glucose meter tells you whether your diet, exercise regimen, and medication are working – or needs adjusting. In-home blood glucose tests can also alert you to dangerous spikes or dips in your blood sugar level.
When to Test Your Blood Sugar
You may or may not need to test your blood sugar every day. It depends on the type of diabetes you have, how long you’ve had it, and how well it’s controlled. Ask your doctor for a personalized daily schedule. This might include testing before or after meals or exercise, before bedtime or upon waking, or additional testing on days when you’re ill or highly stressed.
How to Test Your Blood Sugar
Keep a daily log of your readings, follow the instructions in your user manual, and use these guidelines to ensure accurate readings:
– Wash your hands before testing.
– Make sure glucose meter and test strip are at room temperature.
– Make sure test strip hasn’t expired.
– Calibrate your meter for the current box of test strips.
– Make sure the drop of blood you draw is large enough.
– Types of Blood Glucose Meters
You can choose from a variety of glucose meters. They’re all fairly equal in accuracy, but vary in cost, ease-of-use, and features. Some meters have memory to store your results. Others require fewer steps to get a reading. The newest meter to hit the market provides an automated log for insulin doses and blood sugar level readings, along with software that tracks your progress and transmits your readings to your doctor. Ask your doctor for a recommendation and check with your insurance company to make sure the meter you buy is covered under your plan.
