Special Blessing From God
The love of children if the father’s blessing, and it is a great blessing. How many fathers have their hearts rent and divided by the rents and divisions that are amongst their children! It doth blast and wither all the comfort the parent hath, to see that there is no agreement of love, no correspondency or affection amongst those that came from the same bowels, the same loins. This is a blessing which was no common in the world, no not in those times. Adam had not this blessing. Adam when he had only two sons, they could not agree, but one murdereth the other. Abraham enjoyed this blessing, when he had but two sons, one is mocking the other, Ishmael is mocking Isaac. Isaac failed of this blessing, he had but two sons and one threatened to murder the other. The days of mourning for my Father are at hand, then will I slay my brother Jacob. This was not Jacob’s blessing, he had twelve sons, there was one of them, Joseph the common butt of all his brethren’s envy, they did all spite him, the Archers did shoot at him and grieved him and sorely hated him. They could not all agree, there were divisions among them. It is no ordinary blessing then. You see David a holy man, yet what divisions were there among his children, one murdereth another, Absalom caused Amnon to be murdered: Adonijah riseth up against Solomon, he cannot bear it, that his brother should have the crown. You see then that this is a blessing, and it is an extraordinary blessing. Therefore take notice of it, you that have an agreeing family, children that live together in love and unity, look upon it as a special blessing from God. [Joseph Caryl]

About
Nothing much to tell. I’m walking a single solitary pilgrims walk, in England, that is not an easy one. I am a Calvinistic Covenanter Christian, My Autonomic Nervous system is failing slowly, which has led to severe disability, with an ultra rare disease than medics don’t even understand, often misdiagnose.and will no doubt kill me at some point. But, I trust the Lord to get me where I’m going. All glory to HIM.
The symptomology listed on the link, most porphyrics will only have most of those symptoms if in an acute attack. A few of us, with the ongoing, smouldering symptoms, that never go away, have most if not all of the symptom list, even when not in an acute attack, and are persistent and constant. Anyone who has ever been in the psychiactric system, diagnosed as this or that, even if physically well, should consider this illness could be responsible. King George III, the most famous porphyric, his sole symptom was “insanity.” Its so rare in part, because it’s massively under-diagnosed. But in making this illness known, when it struck me physically a few years ago, God vindicated me from every mis-diagnoses and bersmirchment upon me medically that has ever been made, and has made them all null and void.
