The researchers studied patients who already were eating a heart-healthy diet and taking statin drugs to control cholesterol. The addition of plant sterols helped further lower total cholesterol and contributed to a nearly 10 percent reduction in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, the so-called "bad" cholesterol. Results of the study were published in the American Journal of Cardiology.
The National Cholesterol Education Program recommends that those with elevated cholesterol eat foods containing plant sterols as a way to lower cardiovascular risk, but many sterol-containing foods are inconvenient for some patients.
Structurally similar to cholesterol, plant sterols can reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the gut by competing with cholesterol to get absorbed and transported into the body. When consumed in the diet, sterols are known to lower cholesterol levels, but sterols are not readily absorbed in the intestine unless they have been dissolved in something that the intestine can easily absorb. Because sterols are not water-soluble, past strategies have involved dissolving them in fat.
Most sterol-containing foods studied so far have been brands of margarine. Studies have found that a daily intake of one or two tablespoons of sterol-containing margarine could significantly lower LDL cholesterol. Some juices and puddings also contain plant sterols.
"One problem is many of our patients already have lowered their intake of fats and calories and don't use products like margarine on a regular basis," says Anne Carol Goldberg, M.D., lead author of the new study and associate professor of medicine at Washington University. "In addition, many of these people eat out regularly, and they can't easily take a particular brand of margarine to a restaurant."
To deliver the sterols in pill form, the plant compounds were combined with a substance called lecithin and compressed into tablets. When mixed with lecithin, the normally insoluble sterols are able to dissolve in water and get absorbed in the intestine.
Goldberg's team studied 26 patients who were following the American Heart Association Heart Healthy Diet and taking statin drugs to control cholesterol. Over six weeks, half were randomly assigned to take inactive placebo pills while the rest took sterol tablets. All patients ingested four tablets, twice daily with meals, while continuing to take statin drugs.
After treatment, those who took the sterol pills averaged a 9 percent reduction in LDL cholesterol and a 6 percent decline in total cholesterol. And Goldberg's team found that the higher the LDL before the study began, the greater the drop in the bad cholesterol.
"Those who started with higher LDL got a bigger response, a bigger drop in their LDL, when they added plant sterols to their regimen," Goldberg says.
The plant sterols appear to provide an effective way to lower cholesterol levels, especially LDL cholesterol, according to Goldberg. But she says the sterols probably will work best when given as an additional therapy, and she recommends they be used in combination with diet and/or cholesterol-lowering statin drugs.
"This type of treatment would be in addition to dietary changes and other medication," she says. "There probably are some people who have very mild abnormalities in cholesterol who could get by with a sterol supplement alone, but people with higher cholesterol levels will need medication, too. They'll take plant sterols in addition to other therapies and benefit from the additive effect we observed in this study."
Goldberg says it would be useful to try and replicate these findings in larger studies.
"We used a small sample size, but we still saw a significant effect," she says.
The sterol pills used in the study are not yet commercially available.

Explosion destroys building, kills one
An explosion laid waste to a restaurant and a shop Thursday afternoon in downtown Pueblo, killing one person, injuring at least seven and forcing several blocks to evacuate. Crews pulled a survivor from the rubble more than four hours after the blast.
The cause of the explosion was being investigated. A leaking natural gas pipe was found in the street next to the restaurant, but it wasn't clear if the pipe was ruptured by the explosion or contributed to it, Fire Department spokesman Woody Percival said. The pipe was capped.
A total of seven people, including the woman who died, were transported to the hospital. An eighth person went unassisted later, Percival said.
The person who died was one of two women rescued from a shop next to the Branch Inn restaurant, Fire Chief Chris Riley said. At least five of the injured people were in the restaurant, Percival said.
Firefighters dug a man out of the rubble of the restaurant around 6:30 p.m. Riley said he was conscious and talking.
Glass block, bricks and other debris were strewn more than 100 feet from the restaurant. The third-floor windows of an apartment across the street were blown out.
Mars rover Spirit 'talking' again
Despite a nasty Martian dust storm, Spirit lives.
NASA had not heard from the 5-year-old Martian rover for four days. Just when engineers feared having to give up the ghost, the aptly named robot radioed back to Earth on Thursday that it survived.
Engineers shouted "she's talking," at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, Calif. They were afraid that a dust storm had drained Spirit's solar batteries, triggering it to shut down. Spirit's batteries are low, but working.
Spirit and its twin, Opportunity, are living long past their planned three months on Mars.

Ex-con executed for killing soldier
Texas executed a former New York City hair stylist with a long criminal record Thursday for the robbery, rape and murder of an Army medic at her apartment near Fort Hood.
"From Allah he came and from Allah he shall return," Denard Manns said from the death chamber gurney.
Manns, 42, criticized or thanked various attorneys who had represented him, expressed love to friends and said, "I'm ready for the transition." He uttered what appeared to be a brief prayer three times and was pronounced dead 10 minutes after the lethal drugs began to flow.
Manns' appeals in the courts were exhausted and the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, acting Wednesday on a petition filed by his lawyer, refused to commute his sentence.
Manns was convicted of raping and murdering 26-year-old Michelle Robson in 1998.
The former mural painter from New York City had moved to Texas that year after being paroled after serving nearly six years in prison for armed robbery – his second stint in jail for the crime.
He maintained he had nothing to do with the death of Robson, who lived with her husband a few doors down from where Manns was staying with his half brother and cousin in Killeen, in central Texas.
Prosecutors said DNA and fingerprint evidence implicated Manns, who also was found with some of the slain woman's property.

Getting the budget balanced is critical. The path we are on is making the margin worse. Does everyone agree?Hide replies
And if that is true, why would Senate put out a budget that doesn't balance?
Cue the haters in 3...2...1...Hide replies
...or the realists....
Perhaps, but many are so blinded by hate that anything that comes out of Ryan's mouth with be shouted down with name calling.
The President publicly stated that balancing the budget is not a priority. Nancy Pelosi claims the federal government doesn't have a spending problem. The Senate Democrats' proposed budget has $1 trillion in economy-killing tax hikes.
Paul Ryan is the only voice of fiscal sanity out there.
Balancing the budget it not good enough - we have more than 16 billion to pay off with significant interest rate risk looming.
Ryan's way stops the bleeding, other side of the isle - you just can't reason with crazy.Hide replies
*oops trillion
If a "business" cuts its operating budget only and never increases revenues, it dies, you Tea Party fool.
I have yet to see Paul Ryan name one tax loophole he shut.
fan of naught ...pray that you dont get to see a paul ryan loop hole cut....mortgage interst ,real estate taxes,are on his list of loop holes to be cut!Also the loophole ofnot claiming what your employer pays for your insurance as income will be cut.
Your statement makes no sense. Cutting operating budget does increase revenues. Sale Price - Cost = Profit. If Sales Price remains constant, but Cost goes down, Profit goes up. What you are referring to is raising Sales Price and raising Cost to keep profit the same. Problem is Profit is negative already so really in effect, you are changing nothing. Good try though.
@fan - in the context of our federal budget, that is the most unintelligent post in the history of posting.
Ryan's budget kills the economy to "save" the budget.
Unfortunately, in reality, his phony numbers don't save anything...
Mr. Ryan, if you listened to the people...if you REALLY listened to the people, you would GET. OUT. OF. POLITICS. NOW.Hide replies
Ryan only listens to $$$$$$
I live in Paul Ryan's district and can honestly say he does not represent my values or political viewpoint in any way shape or form. However, I know many family members, neighbors and co-workers who see him as the golden child of the Republican party and will vote for him despite it not being in their best social, economic or environmental best interest. Don't forget, Paul hasn't held a private sector job. Like ever. What would Ryan, a political science major with a minor in economics, do with his worthless degree in the real world?
This is 100% self-aggrandizement. Ryan was appointed to lead a bipartisan commission on the budget years ago. He failed miserably, intentionally, so he could advance his own personal agenda. If he wanted to help the country, he would have done so then. He has zero interest in America's interests. I used to like him somewhat, but lost all respect for him then. He represents what is wrong with American party-first politics of today.
Iraq costs $15 million a day. Ryan wants to increase military spending.Hide replies
Ryan wants war to feed his military industrialist donors.
...and kill YOUR kids. I don't remember Paul Ryan "volunteering" to put HIS life on the line.
The Afgan war costs more and will for years and the Reagan tax cuts were not paid for. Stop the military spending which is getting the US nothing and look into what is going on with Wall Street and the big banks.
Yeah, go ahead and ignore N. Korea and Iran.............

I have recently set up SSL on a domain. This is on shared hosting which seems to be causing problems with redirecting the site to
https. I have asked previous questions regarding this problem without success. Any attempt seems to result in the site entering an infinite redirect loop. I have been given the following code by the service provide who host the site, which solve the problem of redirection, but not across all browsers. On Chrome, the code works as intended forwarding a
http page to its
https counterpart. However tests in Internet Explorer seem to forward all pages to the
https homepage and Firefox seems to just show an error screen. The code is as follows
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_SSL'] == '1') { header("Location: $redirect"); } else { $redirect = "https://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; header("Location: $redirect"); } ?>
Could anyone elaborate on this code to find a solution to this now long running problem.

Gaza mortar shells target Israeli forces searching for Hamas tunnels; Israel responds with airstrike, tank fire and declares border area a closed military zone; Hamas evacuates two schools as a precautionary measure.21:44 04.05.16 | 4 comments
President Putin did the right thing by deciding to give the missiles. Israeli government only understands force and nothing else. Syria should have weapons for self defense. Sharon is a war criminal and is defying, dodging and decieving the U.S,Russia,EU and U.N on its Road map commitments. Very soon their will be a face to face final encounter once this phase of distraction and defiance ends and only direct collision is the only option. Israel will choose this option which is self destructive.

Reducing Consumerisation of IT risks, new enterprise app store provides employee tools for reducing shelfware and ensuring software licence compliance
Maidenhead, UK - January 22, 2014 - Flexera Software, the leading provider of Application Usage Management solutions for application producers and enterprises, announced a new release of App Portal, the industry's leading self-service enterprise app store. Among other enhancements, this new version offers 'My Apps,' a first-of-its-kind dashboard giving employees visibility into the software licences on their devices and tools to identify and eliminate shelfware and non-compliant software use.
"Enterprises are committed to strict cost control and waste reduction, as well as giving users greater freedom with the latest Consumerisation of IT technologies, such as enterprise app stores. But with this freedom comes responsibility - employees often don't realise the cost impact of the software they have installed, and whether or not they use those applications," said Maureen Polte, Vice President of Product Management at Flexera Software. "App Portal enables users to take responsibility and return unused applications. It is the first enterprise app store on the market to give employees the tools and information they need to download and use applications responsibly and cost effectively."
App Portal Reduces Consumerisation of IT Risks
While enterprise app stores provide employees with tremendous freedom in accessing business apps in a familiar, iTunes®-like environment, IT departments fear that loss of accountability and control could result in software licence non-compliance (audit risk) and over-purchasing (shelfware). For instance, applications downloaded by users frequently fall into disuse, such as in instances when a target project is completed, or when the application does not prove as useful as intended.
App Portal already provides robust approval workflow functionality, and industry-leading software licence checking capabilities through integration with FlexNet Manager Suite, Flexera Software's market-leading Software License Optimisation solution. Further reducing Consumerisation of IT risk, App Portal's 'My Apps' feature gives employees greater visibility into their software use and new tools to further eliminate waste.
A new customised dashboard lets employees view software licence cost and usage information for applications installed on their devices, helping them better understand the cost of using or not using software:
Consolidated Dashboard: A single comprehensive view of all apps installed on employees' devices, including those obtained outside the app store, allows them to see at a glance their installed apps, along with the cost, usage and compliance status of each. This consolidated view raises employees' awareness of software licensing and compliance issues, facilitating greater partnership in optimising software use and spend.
Compliance Alerts & Workflow: App Portal empowers IT to interact with users to promote licence and policy compliance. Alerts notify users of policy infringements such as when an application hasn't been used for a specified period of time, or if there is no record of a licence associated with software found on an employee's device. Employees then respond to the alerts enabling IT to take appropriate action, creating an ongoing dialogue between IT and users around improving Software License Optimisation. Alerts also ensure better corporate control when implementing Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies. Users can both easily access the software they need and demonstrate that their applications, even if purchased outside the corporate procurement process, are properly licenced and being used in compliance with licensing terms.
Software Policy Score™: To encourage ongoing employee efforts to optimise their software licence usage, a new Software Policy Score indicates how closely applications installed on the user's device comply with corporate policy. Users can keep their scores high by aggressively resolving the policy alerts they receive.
"My Apps demonstrates the powerful possibilities when you integrate an enterprise app store with Software License Optimisation technology capable of governing software licences and product use rights enumerated in the licensing agreement," said Polte. "No other enterprise app store is able to solve the very real problem faced by enterprises adopting consumerised IT environments - the loss of accountability and control over enterprise apps. Now we're able to combine real-time licensing and entitlement data and present it to users to raise awareness of software licensing and encourage them to reduce costs."
The new release of App Portal also provides support for SCCM 2007, SCCM 2012, and Symantec Altiris Client Management Suite, enabling IT to present a single App Portal instance to business users, even when multiple deployment systems are managing client devices across the enterprise. This allows for a seamless App Portal end user experience even as enterprises are supporting multiple deployment systems or migrating from one system to another.

As the rapid adoption of containers continues, companies are finding that they lack the operational tools to understand the behavior of applications deployed in these containers, and how to identify issues in their application infrastructure. For example, how are multiple containers within an application impacting each other's performance? If an application's service is degraded, which container is to blame? In the case of an application outage, what was the root cause of the outage?

Today on Dr. James Dobson's Family Talk Radio, Dr. Meg Meeker interviews Deb about her most recent book, I Choose You Today: 31 Choices to Make Love Last.
You can listen anytime via podcast. Here's the link: Dr. James Dodson Podcast
A portion of a recent radio interview I did for Live the Promise / Faith Radio has been turned into the blog post below. It's a great time to set your goals for taking your marriage to the next level in 2016.
"One of the most urgent human needs is to be heard."
When we are in a tough situation, the last thing we want to do is listen to our spouse. We tense up, distance ourselves emotionally, and try to get the last word. But God calls us to honor them by engaging and letting them open up. There is power in giving someone the opportunity to be heard. This can be practiced with every relationship, but is particularly important in marriage.
Author Deb DeArmond writes about this in her book, I Choose You Today: 31 Choices to Make Love Last. She and her husband had been married a very short time when he pointed something out to her about the power of giving someone "air time." He shared that he first felt attracted to her because she had listened to him. He told her,
"You were interested in what I was thinking about. You wanted to know my opinion and how I felt about things."
Forty years later, it's till one of his strongest needs.
"I recognize he needs to be heard; I cannot cut him off. He's an engineer. He thinks long and intricately about things- he's a process guy. He said to me once, "You think faster than I do. You talk faster than I do. And if you want to win you're on a roll, but if you want an outcome we can both really support, we need to slow this down a little bit and come to a solution we can both live with."
It can be easy to run our spouse over in conversation, but that doesn't build intimacy. Deb urges spouses, especially wives, to draw out their spouse by asking questions and listening well. Ask,
We're struggling. What are your thoughts about it?
What's in your heart?
What would you like to see happen?
What needs to change in our relationship?
This is not just a natural issue but a spiritual one, as Deb points out. "Open the dialogue, because as soon as the dialogue stops we start listening to the wrong voices. Shutting down communication can give Satan a foothold to work against us and start to unravel a relationship.
Key Scriptures: Proverbs 18:21; James 3:5
How would your marriage change if you and your husband made the spoken declaration, "I choose you" every day? Even when "for better or worse is disappointing? The book offers inspirational stories, conventional wisdom and thought provoking questions to explore your choices and commitment to each other . . . every day of your marriage.
You CAN make a choice to take your marriage to the next level – no matter where it is today. It's all about the choices we make. Endorsements include Focus on the Family and James Dobson's Family Talk. Here's what they have to say:

"Not in front of the kids!" was a phrase I recall a mom in my neighborhood using fairly often. It was always whispered through gritted teeth, accompanied by a stern glare, when one of the teenagers in the room used a word she though inappropriate for us little kids.
The teens thought it was hilarious, and did it to show off how grown up they were and to bait her practiced response.
Adults on social media, discussing politics, and specifically the recent world events in Paris and California might benefit from the presence of that neighborhood watchmom.
I am stunned at the hatred and vile comments hoisted into cyerspace from those who claim to love and know Jesus. And if the depth of their anger and vitriol are any indication, I doubt Facebook is their only outlet. They write it because they believe it. And if they believe it, it is invading their attitudes and their conversations with those in their world.
Both of these actual comments from people whose profiles showed they were Christians. And these were some of the tamer quotes.
This is not just a political issue. This is a family issue.
What about the children? Your kids, your grandkids? What are we teaching them about the very specific commandments Jesus gave us while here on earth?
"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you," Matt. 5:24 (KJV).
"Do to others as you would like them to do to you," Luke 6:31 (NLT).
It does not instruct us to do unto others as they have DONE to us. And while what has been done is horrific, without excuse, and beyond explanation, we must know that those who have murdered innocents have been deceived by their false prophet into believing they are serving their god.
We have the opportunity to teach our children to follow the Word, regardless of our fears or our feelings. It's easy to do so when all is well with our world. Much tougher to do when it seems chaotic and out of control. But it begins in us, to reject the fear that breeds anger and hatred and lean heavily on God's Spirit within to love and forgive instead. Our children learn what they live and live what they learn. What are they learning in our homes today?
Here are three tips to prevent your anxiety from creating fear in your children.
In the Rogers and Hammerstein musical, South Pacific, there is a beautiful song, You've Got to Be Carefully Taught, that addresses the idea that children are born as clean slates. And yet they learn how to hate. It doesn't have to come in a daily tutorial or indoctrination. It comes by observing the people they love and trust. Read the lyrics (below) and see if they strike a chord in you. Little eyes are watching, little hearts are forming their thoughts based on the adults around them. They're counting on us.
You've Got to Be Carefully Taught
You've got to be taught
To hate and fear,
You've got to be taught
From year to year,
It's got to be drummed
In your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught.
You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made,
And people whose skin is a diff'rent shade,
You've got to be carefully taught.
You've got to be taught before it's too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate,
You've got to be carefully taught!
I was part of an interesting discussion on social media recently. A grieving mom had posted about the decision made by her adult children regarding the Christmas holidays this year. Their plan meant they'd not be present with her and her hubby on Christmas Day. Instead, they will spend it with the families of their spouses, and then arrive for a late celebration a couple of days after the holiday.
Many other moms joined the discussion, expressing similar experiences and acknowledging how painful it was. What struck me was how often these women blamed themselves for not being the mom their kids would want to come home to. "I thought we were really aclose-knit family," one woman shared. "I guess I was wrong."
These sweet mamas pronounced themselves "failures" because their grown sons or daughters would choose to spend the holiday with their in-law families rather than the "people who raised them." Heartbreaking. And so not true.
My response to that sadness was simple: it's probably not about you at all, so don't pick up the guilt of inadequacy quite yet. It's okay to be disappointed. But let's be honest, unless there's been bad blood or difficult family drama in the past, it's most likely the balancing act couples must play at the holidays: Christmas Eve with HIS family, Christmas Day with HER family, alternating Thanksgiving each year with Easter, and so on. It's a complex schedule.
It might be finances that keep them from coming, or the desire to finally have a Christmas Eve in their own home. The in-law family may due to host them or they might be applying pressure or guilt. The first year I decided to invite both my folks and his family for Christmas Day in our home, it nearly started World War III. But it all worked out. Eventually.
I have three sons; no pink in my tribe. I understood early that my role in their lives changed the day they married. God sent these boys to me to raise, but not to keep. I was never supposed to be the most important woman in their life. That may be a tough pill to swallow, but it's God's plan, not mine.
So if my son's wife (or a daughter's husband) takes that top spot, their family becomes part of the equation. I'd love to have all of my sons, their wives, and my grandsons home for every holiday, but it's not only unrealistic, it's not fair. Those other mamas should be honored as well.
So if you find yourself in this situation this year, here are three tips for dodging the self-blame and keeping it all in perspective.
This is the first year we will not have all three of our sons and their families together at some point during the season. So my hubby and I will travel to visit one couple in mid-December and do an early celebration with another son before they head out to visit her family. On Christmas Day we'll be with our third son and his family in their home – not ours. Another first. We are looking for a place to volunteer that day as well.
It will be a different kind of holiday. But different's not wrong, it's just different. Most important though is not to beat yourself up if your celebration will not look like the Christmas card image we all have in our head. Comparison is about making you feel inferior and that's no way to honor the Lord.
After all, it's not about us. It's about the birth of our King who came to us that night, His parents far from their families and all they had known. And look how well that turned out.
Merry Christmas.
"I've solved the mystery," a newlywed recently told me. "I now fully understand why my husband never puts his dish in the sink or picks up his underwear off the floor where he stepped out of them. His mother raised him to be helpless."
I laughed. She didn't.
She recounted their cross-country trip for the Christmas holidays, which they spent in her mother-in-law's home. "It was our first Christmas together as a married couple, but his mom had not been well and she begged us to come. Apparently her son is the cure for what ails her," she sighed loudly as she recalled the trip. "She waited on him hand and foot. From the tearful greeting at the front door till the moment we left.You would have thought he was coming home from the war: My son! My son has come home! "Just something about that set my teeth on edge. His home is 2000 miles away. This is his mother's home. He's a grown man, for crying out loud."
It was a tough situation. But most men come to the altar with something very real: the other woman, his mother, who has known and loved him far longer than "that new woman." Mama probably also thinks she loves him more than any wife ever could.
You can come to the in-law party at any age. It's not reserved for twenty-somethings alone. But the older you are, the more challenging a task to build a relationship with the other woman may be. Accepting and welcoming a new daughter might be easier when you're 45 than at 60. We've spent more time on the planet at 60, selected and become committed to our way of thinking, living and being.
The same is true for the new bride. The longer you've been out from under your own mother's purview and lived on your own makes a difference. Accepting the drama from a brand new mama may be a long way down on your to-do list. And the challenges between mamas and the girls who marry their sons have no expiration date. The distance and difficulty may remain in the relationship far beyond the first year of adjustment.
There are other twists on the scenario with the women in question smiling through gritted teeth at best, snarling and spitting at worst. All as we sit together around the Christmas tree in celebration of the birth of our Lord.
There may have been past hurts in the relationship between the MIL and the DIL. Other variations on the theme may be a factor, as well: today's families are complex, with blended families, ex-spouses, step-grandparents and so on. Tensions can run high.
So how do we focus on the real reason we've come together? A couple of quick tips: don't dredge it or dramatize it. Drop it, instead.
Why not make this the year you make your move and choose a fresh start in the relationship? Consider it a gift to the man in the middle. Doing it will make more real the holiness of this holiday season – and it will make our Lord smile.
This topic is tough to address in a single post. My book, Related by Chance, Family by Choice, covers the topic of women-in-law relationships comprehensively. Written with the input of my own three daughters-in-love, it's for every woman whether the relationship is just beginning, already difficult – or good, and you'd like to take it up a notch. You can find it at the links listed here at:
or at your local Christian Book store.
This is one of those posts I call "evergreen" – it's applicable year after year and in so many different ways. When I wrote it last year, we were preparing for an unusually small Thanksgiving gathering. But for many, small is the norm. You may be away from family, or perhaps your family is not super-sized. My motto is: "If you can't fix it, feature it!" So here are some benefits of an intimate turkey day gathering. Enjoy!
This will be a different kind of Thanksgiving holiday. Many of our family members (and some oft-included friends) will be traveling this year to see family in other places. Instead of our usual table for 35 or so, we will be fourteen for turkey. Different.
Especially since the chief turkey briner/cook will not be present. No worries, our matriarch will step in to baste that bird into glorified goodness. I don't need to double or triple the side dishes, and we will cut the recipe for pumpkin cheesecake in half. An adjustment here, a time-saver there.
So instead of feeling blue over the crowd that won't gather, I've decided to treasure the pleasure that will come with a small assembly. No scrambling for the white meat. No gravy shortage. Fewer dishes and less time in the kitchen. But that's the low hanging fruit. What about something a bit meatier? Here are three differences I'm looking forward to this year.
Colossians 3:15 encourages us: "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful." I pray your holiday brings you a refreshed awareness of God's presence in your life – no matter what your circumstances. He sees you. He loves you. So while this Thanksgiving might be different – He remains the same, yesterday, today and forever. Happy Thanksgiving.
There are days we long for a do-over. Yesterday's poor food choices or the thoughtless remark made in a heated moment. Small things that add up. But what about the big stuff? Like a look back on your parenting and wondering if you'd do it all again in exactly the same way. Time provides insight and often, important lessons. I'm pleased to introduce my new friend, Sharron Cosby. She tells her story with transparency, as she looks back on her life as Mom. You may want to take a moment to learn from her story – and change yours while there's still time.
by Sharron Cosby
A friend recently asked, "If you were granted a do-over with your children, what would you do differently?"
My first response, albeit unkind, was, "Probably not have any!" I quickly let her know I was joking, but there were days when the thought played dodge ball in my mind.
The question was posed after I shared my story of our addicted son. The heartaches our family suffered wreaked havoc on me spiritually, physically, emotionally and mentally. I feel like I have PTSD. Even now, with five years clean, his arriving late for dinner or coming into our home when we're away jerks my memories back to the dark days of his active addiction.
I've often wondered what I'd do if a time machine appeared and afforded a second chance at child rearing. Here are a few things I want to believe I'd change:
As I pondered a do-over, I came to the conclusion that even if I had made these changes I wasn't guaranteed a different outcome. I could have been Mother of the Year, cooking, cleaning and chauffeuring kids all over town, but at the end of the day, my children had choices to make, independent of me. Would they still make the same heartbreaking choices? I don't know.
One thing I do know is that I loved them and had their best interests at heart. Their father and I taught them to love God, their family and friends. They were never unloved. There were days I didn't like them, but they were always loved—and they knew it.
I don't need a time machine to provide me with a do-over. God's Word tells me, "Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning." Lamentations 3:22-23a NIV.
Every day I have fresh opportunities to know Him deeply, to love unconditionally and to extend grace. I'm still their mom. They're still my kids. There's always tomorrow.
