My son moved to his new house this week. Everyday I helped. I packed boxes, cleaned, complained and rejoiced. Physically, I hurt. An urgent visit to the Doctors office took time. Deadline closed in. “
The Doctor said I was sick. She ordered blood tests, a cat scan and two other tests.
She said: “Rest, drink clear liquid only for three days and get lots of rest. After three days eat a bland diet. Then, follow with another cat scan in 3 weeks.”
Take the Antibiotics. Instructions on the Antibiotics said to take with food! Is clear liquid food?
Oh my, I don’t know how to rest. Is packing boxes and more boxes resting? Perhaps worrying worrying about a deadline is called stress? Is thinking about a trip to the South during winter storms stress?
Birthday Celebration
In the midst of all, my son celebrated his birthday. His daughter, her Mom and I ate cake with him in the new home, surrounded by Boxes! Thank you Jesus, I lived to see this. I am so excited he is not renting and has his dream home.
I listened to his 11 year old daughter saying….”Daddy” and a few minutes later “Daddy” again and again, new questions each time, her curiosity became contagious. Her Dad always answered her and I watched the bond between them grow.
That’s how it is when we call “Jesus.” He is listening. He will answer. Our relationship grows. The past 2 weeks I have called “Jesus” many times. Just saying His name brings calmness and joy.
Recalling a happy place in Jacksonville where I served on the worship team…we sang this song:
I sang it a lot this week and remembered what music means to me. I don’t play like a professional but you know something, Jesus loves to hear me sing. He will love to hear you too! Sing today and enjoy the life you have.
Move is Complete
Well, the boxes I packed are now in the new place. Today, we will finish cleaning the old place and start new memories at home.
I am shocked my desire for food has diminished. This week I will focus on adding some flavor to the bland diet. I feel better.
What’s on a Bland Diet? Think no flavor. Actually, hold your mouse here and click to see what I am eating and drinking. Antibiotics are gone. My symptoms are improving.
