f Your Bible And You ~i\
By Dntel Dm* ^ |
Have you wondered about this
thing called prayer ' Sometimes it
seems almost pmadoxkal that an all
powerfrd.att-knowing Gad would wail
to act until there were enough fervent
payees from His righteous! As I think
about my children, I cannot imagine
seeing their need of some good thing
and yet waiting to see if their friends
really want them to have it. Yet. that
is the picture that some well-meaning,
sincere people give us of our loving
Father in Heaven.
If God does not need our prayers
to inform Him of the needs of His
children, perhaps He needs some
connection on this earth. Can it be that
our God cannot act without some
pooling of power or Faith on this
earth? 1 don't believe that the God of
creation needs us in order to
accomplish His wdl ln fret your Bible
says that if we neglect to *ow the
world God's Love, die "rocks wiU cry
out.' Think of the demoniacs firm
whom Jesus cast a legion of devils
Who was praying for them? Who fell
com passu*, but our caring Savior0
Who came to bring Jesus to them? No
One!
So, our Father needs not dwpower.
He needs not our information. What
purpose then does prayer serve? Why
did our Jesus spend so much tune in
prayer with His Father? I believe that
prayer changes or effects the one who
prays. The real reason for the
commands to pray lay within you and
I. fellow Christian! The aoed is amp,
not God's! Next time we shall expjfge
just what that need is. In the ra^n
tune, stay close to the Father! ^

Last week we discussed allergies
and their causes. This issue we will
talk about the best ways to prevent
and treat allergy symptoms
Remember that allergies are the
symptoms seen when our immune
system is exposed to something we
are sensitive to. Some of the common
things that kids are sensitive to (called
"allergens") are dust, mold, pollen,
cigarette smoke, and animal hair . The
best way to pre vent allergy symptoms
is to avoid the allergens as best
possible. For instance, if you know a
child is sensitive to cigarette smoke,
you should keep them in a smoke free
environment as much as possible. Here
are some suggestions to helpavoid the
common allergens at home Keep
doors and windows closed during the
growing season to keep pollen out.
Change filters on dust frequently to
prevent dust accumulation Vacuum
weekly in living areas to keep dust
levels down For highly allergic
patients, consider an air purifier in the
bouse. Household pets should be
banned ifa person is sensitive to them
The moist soil ofbousehoid plants
can increase the indoor mold content,
so keep the number of indoor plants
low Children whoare allergu should
not have guflfed toys unless they are
stuffed have toys unless they are
stuffed with non-a/lergic material or
can be machine washed in the hot
cycle every few months. Patients who
are sensitive to dust should wear a
mask while dusting the house There
should be no smoking whatever in the
home!
The bedroom is a good place for
collecting dust mites, especially in
the mattress, carpet, and feather
pillows. Some suggestions in the
bedroom include, 1. Use dacron
polyester pillows, not feathers or foam.
2 Use airtight plastic covers on the
mattresses and for springs; 3. Wash
bed clothing weekly in the hot cycle.
4. Dust and vacuum 2-3 times a woe):
5. Use hard floors or small rugs in**#
of carpet if you caa; 6. keep pet gad
plants out of the bedrooms. aii
When allergy symptoms hue
started there are some good, sale
medications to use. These are calfel I
antihistamines. An example dp
Benadryl or Dimetapp. A few o$gr
medicines for kids with antihistanuqgf
in them include pedtacurc, araggf
tnamimc and chortrimeton. Some
good prescription antihistamine
include pyhatan and Tavist.
For teenagers, 1 sometimes
prescribe seldane or hismanol
Remember that some antihistamine*
cause drowsiness and patients with
asthma should take them with cantfon
Other prescription medications that
help wttl) allergy symptoms include
nasal steroid sprays (Vancenase, etc.)
and cromalyn sodium (Nasalcroin,
etc.).
Some kids with allergy symptoms
require allergy testing (skin testing)
by a specialist This testing can help
pinpoint exactly what the patient is
sensitive to. An allergist may suggest
allergy shots to help make the patleni
less sensitive over time. Alleigy shots
can be helpful, but remember it takes
sometimes up to 4 yean for these to
won in a patient. ? ,
Remember, the best way to help
with allergies is to keep patients away
from what they are sensitive to ;as
much as possible. Educate yourself
and the child to what they are senskive
to. whether through experience ior
allergy testing. Avoid the common
allergens, especially cigarette smoke
Try to dust-proof the house t?d
bedroom as much as possible. If
medications are needed, use them with
caution and consult a physician jf
needed
Take care, and we'll talk
next week!
