I have never been a patient person. Just ask my family. I like things to be completed and done, way before most of them can be. Of course that is how I am being with my new knee. I would love for life to just be moving on as if nothing has happened. Rodney knows how cooped up I have been feeling so he thought he would do something sweet for me and take me out to dinner the other evening to a sit down restaurant.
At first I thought "hey this is going to be ok", but as I sat in the restaurant , with my leg propped up, the pain came and so did the fatigue. By the time we got back home I was so ready for PJs and the couch. I guess the doctors and the therapists know what they are saying with the 2 to 3 week time frame of staying put.
We humans just do not seem to be able to wait on anything. In this microwave, drive through, and internet world we really are used to instant everything. Patience is not in our beings. If only we could see the big picture for our lives. The one that God can see. Then maybe we would be able to peacefully wait for things to work out. He can see our future and how we can make a difference where we are and how this all works with the world around us. He tells us, in Jeremiah, exactly this........
Jeremiah 29:11
Common English Bible (CEB)
11 I know the plans I have in mind for you, declares the Lord; they are plans for peace, not disaster, to give you a future filled with hope.
Patience Sweet Friends!
Blessings!
