Oraletta's Adventure

Being a member of the Family of God, which is both local and global; I would like to share specific issues about the adventure The Lord and I are on dealing with lung cancer. I want to do this so that those who are praying for me will be better informed.

New Things are happening in my life.

Hello Everyone,
I am really having a "Great Time" these summer months (what a difference a year can make). I went to the first "Hen Party" ever in my life. A friend of mine had been after me for about two months to go, so finally I went. OH Boy! did I have a wonderful time. I even learned how to make "Greeting Cards" of all kind. So now I am making my own cards. So if you get a card from me if will probably be "Homemade".
The next exciting thing is I am learning how to crochet & hopefully knit. I have crocheted in the past ( many years ago), so I thought it would be nice to start back. I think it is past time that I get started with my two Grandsons "Hope Chest". Each boy will get a blue & pink baby blanket from Grandma. Then we will go from there.

There is something else I would like for each of you to think about along with me. When I was told back in Feb. that I was in "Remission from cancer", most people would say to me "God is Good,", and I was always in agreement. Well I have been thinking about that lately. Yes He is Good, (I looked up the word good which means: valid; sound; acceptable; healthy; strong; dependable; reliable; adequate; and the list goes on and on). Then I said to myself, God is better than all of this. God is Sovereign. So I looked up Sovereign, which starts out saying: a term by which is expressed the "Supreme rulership of God." Now I like that Supreme Rulership much better than Good. However, I do realize what people are trying to say.

Another thing however that I thought about is this: God was just as "Good or Sovereign" on the day I was diagnosed with cancer as He was on the day the doctor said I was in remission. And guess what, He will be just as Good & Sovereign when I take my last breath here on earth. Yes our God is a Mighty God, He is the ONLY TRUE AND LIVING GOD. Yes He is Sovereign above all. (the book of Hebrews)

Well Dear Ones, with this I suppose I'll close. You pray for Roosevelt & Me, and we'll be praying for you.

Loving each of you with the Love of Jesus,
Your Friend, Oraletta

    As always, thanks for those good words. We rejoice in who God is and know that He is good all the time, in the storms, valleys, high places, times of sorrow and times of joy, God alone is GOOD!
    Love You Both, Lou Ann
