Most of us at one time or another have been in the hospital for various reasons. Maybe it was a routine checkup, a Covid related illness, or N operation as a result serious injury or disease. Whatever your hospital stay has been most if not all of us do not look forward to this experience. Guess what? I once again found one of my poems I wrote a while back that speaks to time spent in the hospital.
THE PROCEDURE
I was the first to check-in feeling a little tense I tried to relax. A thousand thoughts flashed through my mind. What if ……. I tried to think positive thoughts I so much wanted to feel better. I don’t like this place I’m in. Things could go wrong. One can’t control the outcome.
But doesn’t this mirror life itself? All I could do is put my faith in God. Somehow I felt much better. I felt more at peace. Just at the moment I placed my faith in thee. I tried to keep my thoughts stayed on thee. It was hard it wasn’t easy but I keep hearing a whisper “I am with thee.”
Upon hearing these words a soothing warmth coursed through my body as if a white light had redirected my thoughts. The renewed energy I felt , the new insights I was given, filled me with faith, and gave me confidence that I would be alright.
It was an unbelievable peace, and I felt everything would turn out just fine. Life Is a procedure filled with uncertainty, but when your faith is directed in thee, your strength our renewed, your energy revitalized, and your mind is filled with peace.
I now realize how devastating it can be for a family that is struggling with a member undergoing a very serious and life threatening diseases. I’ve had family members and friends die from cancer, emphysema, strokes, Parkinson’s Disease, kidney failure, and other unknown diseases.
On the other hand my wife Darrelle was cured from stage four melanoma cancer that she developed 38 years ago. There is strong evidence of thousands of individuals that have also been cured of cancer. The reason I’m sharing this information with you is that it really hit home when I was diagnosed with a serious life threatening illness in January of 2021. I’ll share more with you when I’m ready to reveal more of what I’m struggling with. In the meantime keep your thoughts positive, and keep a smile on your face. Godspeed, Carbie out.
