Lessons from the Hospital

An elective  operation confined me to my mom's home - no complains as I get to be taken great care of.  Mobility is an issue, and I am prepared to slowly gain full independence in due time.  There are multiple thankful moments as I get to do things slower and thank God for the lessons stored during the process. 

One such lessons includes:

- knowledge of the eventual outcome, but the patience and focus required in waiting. 

This happened in the hospital while I was awaiting my session with the Physiotheraphist.  Despite knowing that they would come and get me, impatience sets in when their schedule was packed and they could only pay me a visit post lunch.  Madness sort of set in then... it was a good reminder there and then that I know Christ will return, but certainly not according to my time.  Yet during the waiting time, I have to continue to be focused on waiting, and doing what is necessary and not be driven to madness due to my impatience.

I am certain this lesson will stay with me for quite a long while to come... :)
