"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.'" ~Jeremiah 29:11-13

Perspecitve on Pain
Now that I have cable I keep the channel on Discovery Health most of the time. I've been watching hour after hour of shows like "Mystery Diagnosis" and "Untold Stories From the ER". All I can say is that I've gotten some perspective on pain. Yes, my hip is hurting a lot again. But after watching shows on people who have had things like an adverse reaction to an antibiotic that led to ALL their skin falling off or people who have large hunting knives embedded in their heads, well, I feel blessed. Oh so blessed! My hip may hurt daily, but at least I'm not dying from it. Yes, thank you Jesus!

That was very encouraging in a silly way. We have a lot to be thankful for!
I love those kind of shows too. If I had cable, that's exactly what I'd be watching..either that or Animal Planet...But watching things like that does make you put some things in perspective...:)
