"Blessed be God, even the
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Mercies, and the God of all
comfort. Who comforteth us in our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort
them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are
comforted of God."
2 Cor. 1: 3&4.

My day was Monday
and Wednesday,
My time was 10:15,
Sitting on the right, next to Mrs.
Daniel's,
My chair was # 3.
My center had no TV,
It was often
very cold,
I would take a blanket, and something to read,
And think
about being back at home.
I was the youngest person in the
place,
And people often replied:
"Your too young to be on this
machine,"
I must admit, at times I would wonder "why?"
Each
scheduled day I would arrive on time,
Weigh myself, and get into the
chair,
Ready to be dialyzed.
Never really wanting to be sitting in
that chair,
I was feeling sorry for myself,
Until I said this
prayer:
Dear Lord, How I need you near me,
I must admit I'm
scared,
This all seems so overwhelming Lord,
I'm weighted down with
a load of care,
I feel so run down at times,
Just like a car run out
of gas,
And then there's the tubes and the scars,
And the questions
that people ask.
But I know that your word promises,
You will never
put more on me than what I can bear,
But Lord I've sure grown
weary,
Sitting here in this chair.
Though there all people all
around me,
Trained to give me care,
How could they possibly
understand, the burdens that I bear?
Don't get me wrong Lord, I'm
thankful to be alive,
For I know without you Lord, I would have surely
died!
Help me on my journey, though the road seem hard and
long,
Help me on to remember it's when I'm weak, that I am
strong.

hast
considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities."
BIT OF WISDOM:
"We are all faced with a series of great
opportunities
brilliantly disguised as impossible situations."
