I am an 80%

 

I now am in day two of recovery from surgery.  What do we call it when going to the hospital and having surgery is a normal part of our life?  Do we call that “medical restoration” or “mandatory renovation”? 

I thought I might write a book to myself entitled “Reflections from the bathroom floor”.  This booklet could contain my thoughts and emotions about life as seen from lying on the bathroom floor after passing out and collapsing.  Some of my topics might be….

• My family looks bigger from this perspective.
• Why they don’t believe me when I tell them “I’m fine”
• The floor is hard but I don’t seem to mind
• I can hear my inner man praying even while I am mentally out of focus.  It nice to hear my heart is more in love with God than my mind thought.
• Why I am more concerned how others will deal with what is happening to me then I am concerned what is happening to me.
• Will the paramedics be able to pick me up
• I think this cold floor is actually helping to break my fervor.
• Can I have a pillow

Thanks to the love of God, the prayers of many people and the medical blessings of our community, I live to have a 50/50 chance of having this again.  If I apply that to my weather forecasting skills, this means, maybe I will and maybe I wont. 

I any case God is with us on the bathroom floor, in surgery, in the recovery and with us back home.  A lesson that I seem to be learning again and again and again over the last 12 months.   I’m not complaining, but maybe I should apply my life to the prompting I had from the Lord on Sunday morning before all these events unfolded.

Rod, you get it right about 80% of the time, so you are wrong 20%  of the time.  Don’t be so confident in what you know as humble to learn/live what you don’t know. 

 

 

For me just cross out the word “women” above and insert the word “others”.
