Hello and

to our friendly forum!

I just must ask, though: how do you avoid neglecting your husband and your child since becoming crippled?

Re: I believe in God

So maybe I wasn't clear enough to what extent I am crippled. My legs are still "intact" if you will but even with prayer and medication (as a last resort) the pain has become unbearable. I have been forced to use crutches to move around but in a few weeks from now I should have my own wheelchair. This will increase my mobility and we will move things around in my home and install more cupboards within my reach since this seems to be a permanent issue for me.

I can still nurse my baby, change, clean, and take care just fine and I sleep with him and take the naps. So I do not bother my husband at night and only ask him to reach for things that are very high up when he is home. I have crutches but it's very difficult to move around for too long (it can get very exhausting and painful on my arms to use the crutches), luckily enough, we have a very nice one story home. I do not have any stairs to walk up or down and we do not have any land that is uneven as well, so I can go in our front yard and back yard as long as it's not muddy.

I still cook most of the meals at the moment but for the time being my husband is helping me to click the buttons that I tell him to and what not. Of course, I sit down and prepare, peel, cut, and put together all of the food, it's just that at the stove that I can't stand for too long. Sometimes, I'll ask the husband to check that nothing is burning in the oven and explain what it should look like or ask him to just put things in and out. Otherwise, we would all starve and that is rightly unreasonable.

It's not an ideal situation at the moment to have my husband help out in the kitchen, but as we are cooped up in the house right now, as is everyone else, it gives him something to do besides tend to our gardens outside.

I am not sure if this would be considered neglect (and honestly I have never thought that I may be neglecting my husband due to my current illness) since my husband has not complained.

As a married couple, we promised to each other, that we will be here for each other through sickness, health, and till death do us apart. This is the "sickness" part where there will be an adjustment period. As soon as we have a few "wrinkles ironed out", I believe that I'll be able to perform all of my duties unaided once again.

I do feel a tinge of guilt that I became ill so quickly but it is definitively part of a bigger cosmic plan that I do not understand yet.

Do you think I am neglecting my husband and my baby boy? What do you think I should do? I'll take any suggestions. Thank you.

Hi. What were you going to say two years ago when you joined this forum but never bothered getting around to?

Re: I believe in God

Hi.

..You mentioned a former church:

At the moment, I do not attend a Church … I will have to find a wheelchair accessible church and I am incredibly excited to start going again.

Were elders available there or was it an egalitarian format where anyone could stand up and start talking at any time, if they felt so inclined. God has instructed how to avoid confusion and what is possible for His congregation. Elders have distinct functions, endorsed by Christ, which should benefit anyone in your situation. For that you'd need to be a member of His congregation and again specific requirements have been detailed by God.

Hebrews 1:1-2 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds

Jesus made the worlds. Some things (such as clean and unclean foods) vary from place to place and from time to time. Others (such as making idols) have never altered in every word proceeding from Him. A good example would be Egyptians. There was a specific time when certain actions against them were commanded which are not necessary now. Obviously if someone is trying to enslave you when God has already promised you your own domain, different criteria apply in that moment than when dealing with a lost sheep. Jesus explains:

Luke 15:1, 3-5, 8 Then drew near unto [Jesus] all the publicans and sinners for to hear him … And he spake this parable unto them, saying, What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing … Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?

Moronic pharaohs and concerned shepherds are examples of sundry times and the divers manners in which God speaks to us. He is speaking today, Luke and Hebrews being two books among many bringing His words to us in ways we can appreciate. To understand and respond. Will you let Him in?

Concerned,

Mitza.

Have you tried prayer? God made you a cripple, and only He can heal you, so that you can serve your husband rather than have him help you all the time.

Just like in Luke 13:11-13 "And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.
And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God." !!!

Welcome to God's favorite forum!

Do you have your husband's permission to use his computer?

Dear Mrs. Toxic: To you, I extend a most warm

to

. My, how we are pleased that you have found your way to our blessed corner of the interwebs galaxy, and it is my prayer that you will seek the

with all of your heart here, at

.

I do hope that you will not mind my commenting about your disability, Dear. I am terribly sorry that you are in such a distressful condition, but one wonders if you are harboring secret sin from which you have not yet repented? You know, sometimes the

will use an infirmity to punish one for living in sin. And, we must also remember that

is very strict about those who cannot come to

House to worship in such condition.

Leviticus 21:16-21:
16 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
18 For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
20 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
21 No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the Lord made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.

I do hope that you will confess your sins (all of them) to the

, ask for

forgiveness, and follow the

as earnestly as is possible for the rest of your live-long days whilst confined to your yet-to-be-received wheelchair.

May

richly bless you, Dear, as you give

Re: I believe in God

Welcome to our loving, Christian family, AntiToxic.

It sounds like you are leading a good Christian life. Keep that up and I'm sure Jesus will deliver a healing to you very soon!

But it does make me wonder, what terrible sin did you commit that caused God to visit this affliction upon you?

**James Hutchins** · 04-13-2020, 03:39 PM

Re: I believe in God

My prayers go out to your unfortunate husband and he has my hopes to source a undeformed wife.

Testify, sister!

Truer words have never been spoken. Why I've seen God make the blind see and the deaf hear. Grow new limbs when sin had previously ripped them from the body.

Before you Mrs. Toxic goes begging like a joo

to Jesus for new legs, she had better make right by Him.
