Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: What do YOU want for Christmas???

First, I don't have a spare bedroom to rent out. Secondly, when I need the one bathroom in my home, I need it NOW. I really don't want to deal with unpaid rent and fair share of utilities anyway, nor would I want to smell someone else's cooking of things that gag me and having to deal with their friends coming in an out of my home. I know too many women who have had miserable and major problems with renting out a room in their homes. No thanks!

Best I live alone and deal with my own problems on a day to day basis. Some day the Lord will take me home to a better place.

My pastor doesn't even understand. He suggests that I put on Depends every Sunday morning and get myself to church. Yea right!... like I want to sit for an hour or more in a puddle of diarrhea and smell like an outhouse. I don't think so!

I'd far rather stay home and drink chicken broth (yum!) with fresh ginger in it and listen to a Sunday sermon on my radio.

My three grown children live far away from me, and they don't understand that I can no longer dance to their tune nor cater to THEM at this time in my life. They have completely written me off and have no contact. Their life is about living in the fast lane with all of today's bells and whistles and latest technology, have high incomes to support their lifestyle. They have no idea what it is like to simply crave a simple bowl of chicken soup... they eat in high end restaurants all the time.

My purpose in life is that of an encourager and I work daily with an international prayer team that supports one another in all things through prayer.

God is good!
