Bed ridden

Ps. 119.18 It was good for me to be afflicted, so that I might learn your decrees.

The last 3 days have seen a return of an old companion of mine – deep pain down my back. It is frustrating to be immobilised again – and especially to see Sheba having to do so much work on my behalf.

It is also hard because there is so much that needs to be done at JSK – and each day is precious.

I am however, reminded of a piece of wisdom that Stanley Nelson shared a few months ago. Talking about the importance of work – and of rest – he pointed out that if we do not take our rest on time – God will give it to us all at once – and we will be experiencing it on the hospital bed instead of the easy chair. How true.
