I was sitting in the Dr's surgery feeling sorry for myself this morning, I'd gone to talk to him about changing my anti-depressant dose as the stresses of recent weeks have had a really detrimental effect upon me! An elderly lady came in, she was obviously in pain and short of breath, she took her seat, and fumbled with her jacket dropping her keys in the process...
I picked them up for her and she treated me to a beautiful smile. I'd gone in to the waiting room in no mood to talk to anybody, but we were soon chatting, and she told me of how she'd been to Cyprus in November, it had been hot, and she'd enjoyed simply sitting on her friend's balcony drinking in the sunshine and blue skies. She reminded me of how important it is to appreciate the simple things, sunshine, and birdsong are free, and if we take a moment to notice them they can lift our spirits!
From the Dr's' surgery I headed into Cambridge for a Hermeneutics class, where I was encouraged by a couple of comments that were made about my contributions, I have to admit that I have felt that I am the only one in the room who is struggling to grasp what on earth is going on! Today the penny dropped on a at least two occasions! Phew...
I am trying to relax and trust God....
Music helps... this is good:
