Tonight, my blog will be short. I have a bit of an anesthesia hangover and feel as if I may fall asleep at any moment.
I am home after elective surgery, an Achilles debridement, and although it is categorized as elective, it did not feel elective. My compassion for people with chronic pain has grown by leaps and bounds over the last year! The hope of pain relief feels like the best Christmas gift ever. I have one more foot to fix and long for pain-free movement. My Dr assured my sister today in the post-surgical update that he is optimistic I will find relief!
And yet, I am aware of those who do not have the same promise of relief that I do. I will pray differently, more faithfully, and hold much more compassion and understanding for those who live with pain. Tonight, I am aware of the words, make me a channel of your peace…
May I bring intentional peace into the spaces I enter every day! I hope you will also pray to be a channel of peace and deliver peace with kindness and hope!
