It has been a hectic week. I know I complain a lot about the amount of work I have. But that's just me - the eternal complainer. I do get fed-up listening to myself whine sometimes. I am sure it gets annoying to others around me who have to listen to me too. But you Lord, you made me like that, no? You know that I complain a lot but that deep inside me, I love what I do and I am grateful that I have my work. The thing is - some people wonder how it is that I can be so stressed out over something that I like doing. Beats me too!
The week has also been quite lousy as I had that beastly cold - it was not half as nasty as the last bout of flu I had, though - so thanks :) . What was really bad was I had awful pains all over my body all week. You know, the pain got so severe that I threw caution to the wind and downed those painkiller, right? Well, they killed the pain temporarily but they also killed my tummy in the process. Gastic pains can be quite quite horrible. So I had to rush off to the chemist to get meds for the tummy. I called you and said I hope I did not have to go see the docs. Well, thanks again for the tummy pains got better soon after that. But I learnt my lesson - I have to remember to take my antiacids with those painkillers.
The body aches continued - my bones felt like they had been crushed under a tractor - and my head was pounding like crazy. There did not seem to be any letting up - and since I had had that terrible experience with the pain killers - I refrained from dosing myself again with them - hence had to bear with the pain.
Then, yesterday at mass, I told you all the above. at mass, I asked you to make the pain go away at mass, I felt my pain was nothing compared to what you bore for me at mass, I remembered that you gave your life for me at mass, I thought of all the pain you bore for me at mass, I asked for the grace to bear it all at mass, I offered up my pain to you at mass, I asked you to touch me and come into my life at mass, I felt you so close to me.
When I went to bed last night, my body and head continued to hurt. last night, I remembered my encounter with you at mass. last night, I ceased to complain about the pain last night, my body ached but my heart was at peace last night, I went to bed without taking any pills.
When I awoke this morning, I saw my husband beside me this morning, I thanked you, God, for the gift of him this morning, I told good hubby how much I love him this morning, I did not get up in a crabby mood this morning, I remembered to thank you, Lord, for my life this morning, my body aches have somehow disappeared. this morning, my head feels light and I can think clearly. this morning, I want to thank you, Lord.
