HOW THANKFUL ARE YOU?

Blood dripped from his mouth as he gasped at about one minute interval. My Doctor friend was in-charge of his dressing that particular morning, he tossed the patient's arm in any direction he chose as he fixed a drip to it.

My heart became very heavy as I flowed with compassion towards the patient; his sister and mother watched as he was being attended to that morning. There were other cases but I had a full glimpse of this one.

I later asked my Doctor friend if the patient had a severe accident but he said he has a tumour. Do you mean the stuff blocking the whole of his mouth from either talking and eating delicacies is cancer? I asked and he said yes. What is his chances of survival was one last question I asked my Doctor friend and he said "it is proffessionally confidential". Of course you know what that means, don't you?

Sorry to bother you with such a picture this morning but I think you should know about this. You are not an accident: what, where and who you are today is by God's grace but how thankful are you?

Conclusively, empty your tank of complains and murmurings and load it with thanksgiving for just what,where and who you are now because grace is that thin dividing line between you and that fellow who is eaten-up gradually by cancer making it possible to thank or praise God with his mouth. fft

Good morning and have a great week.
