Ohhhhh noooooo!! I KNOW what back pain is like, ESPECIALLY after surgery to install rods in my lower back!! WHAT an 8 weeks that was, post-surgery!! Whooey! Thankfully, Ray, "This too SHALL pass!" (Every time I realize that statement in my own mind whenever I'm suffering one pain or another, looking to God for comfort [ Isaiah 26:3 ], God comes to my assistance, lots of times immediately......ohhhhh, I am
SOOOO GRATEFUL for Him!! INDEED He IS
CLOSER!! than hands and feet!! (I don't know off the top of my head where this particular Scripture is, as my Strong's Concordance to the AKJV Bible is upstairs, and it's a struggle for me to climb stairs [ I have screws in both feet. ] )
As Scarlett O'Hara said in "Gone With the Wind," "Tomorrow is another day," and hopefully Ray
WILL be chipper enough to get together with you all in Holy, Sacred Fellowship next Sunday!!
Maybe this back injury is God's way of getting Ray to slow down a little, and do some R&R in his favorite chair and refresh himself with GREAT SCRIPTURES or other inspirational readings!!! I always, if I'm feeling OK enough, take advantage of my "down time" to do some Inspirational reading. It ALWAYS makes me feel soooo good all over -- very refreshed! -- when I'm finished!! YAY!!
Eeeeeeaasssyyyy does it, Ray!! And may you feel
REALLY CHARGED UP AND
RARING TO GO next Sunday!!!
