About hearts

Whew!  What a week!  This is one of those times when I am so thankful for the weekend.

A few weeks ago, my husband injured his back moving a piano.  The injury sidelined him for a few days but he was gradually making his way back to being healthy and able.  And then this week he re-injured it.  This time, the pain has been much worse.  For the past three days he’s been confined to bed, the couch or an upright chair and it’s been hard on all of us.  He’s got four different kinds of medication that’s he’s been trying and none of them are really making a huge difference.  We suspect that the only thing that’s really going to help is rest.  And time.

I’d like to say that I’ve handled the situation with grace and dignity, but I haven’t.  I’ve felt anger and frustration and since neither of is really getting much sleep, fatigue.  Thankfully, though, God and I had a few heart to heart conversations in which he set me straight, reminding me that when I am weak, he is strong.  And today, although the situation hasn’t changed, my heart has.
