went to vist my couz, Tina, in Nuh today. She was admitted for fever and vomiting but had her appendix removed! told me the doctors suspected appendicitis but in the end it wasnt. but before she had time to figure out what was happening, she was wheeled to the operating theatre.
Now, she has to withstand the excruciating pain of 3 open wounds. Blood tests and more blood tests, swollen limbs and drips. She struggles to eat, to excrete and to even move.
Is there a need for all that?
And it seems like she's not the only one.
Seeing her pained face and state, i felt so helpless, and scared. It's not the first time i visit a loved one in the hospital but everytime, i still dunno what to say or do. How to comfort, how to help,how to instill hope. I think even the most hopeful person can lose hope when they see their loved ones suffering and yet they are unable to do anything to ease their pain. i understand and really do.
And i really thank God for health. I know it comes from Him. and i thank Him for my loved ones' health. By His grace, they recover and are kept well. I 've learnt to give thanks for my health and not to take it for granted. It's real scary to lose health.
today,before i left,i prayed for my couz, asking God to bless her and her family. When i've finished and looked up, there were tears in her eyes! and i'm shocked, cos she has not accepted Christ so i was thinking why she was tearing... as i wondered in amazement and asked her not to cry, i realised one thing.
That, it's not me who's speaking anymore, it's God.
