Home Sick From Work

| No Comments | No TrackBacks |

I'm feeling awful today, temperature, sore throat, cough. I went in to work for about half an hour because as soon as I decided I wouldn't go, I remembered a couple of things that urgently needed doing. Why I get so guilty about work when I'm genuinely sick I don't know, I rarely have days off.

Speaking of sick, Dad rang me on Tuesday morning and he sounded so much better. He said he told those doctors where they could shove the valium he was on, and I had to laugh, because I can hear him doing that. He said he was able to walk around better and he's alert. There's a chance the hospital will send him to a rehab home for 3 weeks and it can only be good for him. He was okay with that too. Broken ribs can take weeks to heal. I'm much relieved after talking to him.

Devotion

"Once, as I traveled through the Himalayas, there was a great forest fire. Everyone was frantically trying to fight the fire, but I noticed a group of men standing and looking up into a tree that was about to go up in flames. When I asked them what they were looking at, they pointed up at a nest full of young birds. Above it, the mother bird was circling wildly in the air and calling out warnings to her young ones. There was nothing she or we could do, and soon the flames started climbing up the branches.

As the nest caught fire, we were all amazed to see how the mother bird reacted. Instead of flying away from the flames, she flew down and settled on the nest, covering her little ones with her wings. The next moment, she and her nestlings were burned to ashes. None of us could believe our eyes. I turned to those standing by and said: "We have witnessed a truly marvelous thing. God created that bird with such love and devotion, that she gave her life trying to protect her young. If her small heart was so full of love, how unfathomable must be the love of her Creator. That is the love that brought him down from heaven to become man. That is the love that made him suffer a painful death for our sake."
