Today was a day cloaked in a mist of hope; interspersed with flashes of panic. A family member had to have surgery with only a days’ notice to prepare. I’m glad to say it all went well. As I sat in the waiting room swallowing down my fear I looked at the walls and pondered all the words they’d heard- over the years. If these walls could speak, what would they say?
I sit and pray
In this hospital waiting room
If the walls could speak
What would they say?
Would they recite entreaties?
Would they sing praises?
Would they wail with grief?
Would they sigh with relief ?
These walls have heard
More prayers proffered
All sincere and raw
All of which
God has heard

Oh, Dear Viv. I’m glad the surgery went well. I thought about you only this morning that I haven’t even asked about your son since the last time. I hope he is alright. I agree that Prayer is very potent and does wonders during crises situations. God is faithful. Stay strong. Blessings. 🙂

Yes it’s a place to think the worst isn’t it. And there is nothing you can do but wait. So I’m glad to hear all is ok with you and family.
