I pray you each are richly blessed today & every day so together 😊 we can All Praise God
God and His work through GAW.
so true. Thank you Jesus for your unfailing Love from which you created Every thing. And for all the people in GAW participating...in helping others Awaken (not only to raw evil in this world, But) as well to all that remains & continues of good...
I am thankful that the Lord has called me to follow Him and He has opened my eyes to know His Word.
Good for you :).
Jesus & me go back a long (decades) way & we talk together spontaneously daily. Yet in the Bible mostly still continue in the 'Cherry-picking state'😊 of wisdom God as Jesus on earth directly said that continually help me grow...
I am so grateful for God's constant abiding love, especially when he pours out His grace and mercy on me and He assures me that He will never leave me nor forsake me...what an awesome God we serve...He is my all in all...
Amen.
I am so thankful that the Lord allows me to use his strength to keep me going, he has never denied me, not once, not when the mess I was in was due to my own doing, not when I thought I would perish from fear of loss, not when I felt I could not go on, that I would break into a million pieces, his strength, his rod and his staff, were freely given, always.
I am thankful that I woke up this morning, health is stable, and I can serve my Lord by serving others.
well said.
I pray for my grandson to continue his journey to detoxing from meth successfully and to never be tempted by this evil again, to lean on God’s strength and stay with it!
I too am thankful that your grandson is Detoxing from meth. ARGH, the poisons that people subject themselves to assuming that any such crap can fix their problems, when they only destroy the person's life. - How exactly is he Detoxing?
Cold turkey and a a bit of 420 when restless legs and anxiety get bad. He is determined and sick of being a slave. I send him motivational stuff I find on Pinterest every day. The extreme fatigue is finally getting better.
Why I asked "How exactly is he Detoxing?" - spent 40 yrs. in Acute sick-care, where as a nurse I worked tirelessly helping people regain their God-created health via Non-drug means. So "doing it cold-turkey" in this case is really harsh.
Would you be willing ? to help your grandson by sending him these -
Meth use disrupts the gut microbiome, leading to a host of health problems. Therefore, probiotic supplementation can help restore the balance of gut flora, supporting digestion, bolstering the immune system, & influencing mood and behavior. One of the best ways is drinking Kefir (a cultured, fermented milk product.) much Higher in beneficial bacteria, than is yogurt. Kefir has been used for 1000 years. While Yogurt usually lists 3-5 kinds of bacteria, otoh Kefir has 12 Live Active Cultures. An excellent example is Strawberry Low Fat Kefir from cow's or goat's milk. --- at https://traderjoesrants.com/2019/05/05/trader-joes-whole-milk-kefir/ - (Note: the Lifeway-brand sold elsewhere is more expensive). Start with 2 ozs. until the body adjusts to it working as by God designed, & later increase in a Smoothie adding various seeds.
Prioritize lean proteins, made up of amino acids, the body's building blocks. They play a vital role in the production of neurotransmitters, the brain's chemical messengers. One such neurotransmitter is dopamine, the “feel-good” hormone. The amino acid tyrosine is a precursor to dopamine, and supplementing with it can help restore the brain’s dopamine levels, reduce cravings and improve mood. Ample lean proteins like chicken, turkey, fish, and legumes can aid in repairing tissues damaged by meth use and support brain health.
choose Complex carbohydrates in whole grains, & vegetables not only provide energy but also are rich in dietary fiber, & antioxidants that aid detoxification and support overall health.
Healthy fats. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in tiny fish, walnuts, flaxseeds & others. Chronic meth use destroys the brain in 10 regions (I posted elsewhere here). Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of polyunsaturated fat that the body cannot produce on its own. They are essential for heart health, cognitive function, and reducing inflammation. Omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA & DHA are well-researched & found helpful for their anti-inflammatory properties and their role in brain health.

Please understand that your grandson's "restless legs & bad anxiety & extreme fatigue" are due also because he Lacks enough magnesium. As a CC-nurse, I shared why Magnesium is absolutely essential in order for the Heart to relax in between beats/contractions https://communities.win/c/Nutrients/p/15JU7untkU/feel-your-heartrhythm-needs-ca-m/c
Meth wreaks havoc on the nervous system, & the B vitamins, particularly B9/Methyl-folate & B12/Methylcobalamin, both known for their neuro-Protective effects. They help repair the damaged nerves, restore neurotransmitter balance, and mitigate the cognitive deficits associated with prolonged meth use. Also they are involved in other tasks, from energy production and red blood cell formation to ensuring the healthy functioning of the brain and nervous system.
Meth use leads to oxidative stress, a state of imbalance between free radicals & antioxidants in the body. This imbalance contributes to a host of health issues, including various chronic diseases & premature aging. As a powerful antioxidant, Vitamin C combats oxidative stress, boosts the immune system, protects against cardiovascular disease, and enhances iron absorption. Your best friends highest in C are fruits, starting with common KIWI 167mg in 1 cup also good as you get its seeds.
Also in 1 cup = Orange Juice 124mg, Strawberries 97mg, Pink Grapefruit Juice 94mg, Pineapple about 80mg, Tangerine Juice 77mg, Cantaloupe Melon 65mg, and over 100 others https://tools.myfooddata.com/nutrient-ranking-tool/Vitamin-C/Fruits/Highest

Good for you Mary.
Since I came to the USA at barely 13, I have contemplated this often & mostly I woulda been happier in the days of "Little house on the Prairie" as that is how I too started life in the country-side in which we all grew our own food, & people were healthy...& content. ~ The only Advantage I'd miss is the internet 😊
Honestly, I used a ' cell-phone ' for 3 years only, because it was required for my last position in Health-care because of the dangerous situations we were Assigned to function in = I asked Jesus daily to protect me because the office didn't care if any Staff in the field died. Increasing their Profit was their only interest. As soon as I had New roof paid for, I stopped. And haven't used a cell-phone since. However (except for christianity-Clubs), I do find the internet helpful...
Germany, east-part when it existed.
No matter what evil befell me, I have lived to Praise God. And thus, mostly I live with Jesus peaceful & content & hopeful... that I am Blessed to live until Jesus Returns to Rule over HIS kingdom here on earth for it will be truly 😊 Heaven --- until then MAGA will do 😊
God bless + have a wonderful weekend, too 😊
