Thankful Thrusday

This day has tested me.

I was able to get into the dentist directly after dropping off the kids at school.

While having the dental work done I began to have a bit of trouble breathing opened my eyes and there in my mouth LATEX!

"Latex! I exclaimed and she quickly pulled her hands out of my mouth, I grabbed my albuterol and gave myself a squirt. Wipes off my face then went and washed my face. Then she gave me a tooth brush and I brushed the latex off and out of my mouth. Took another squirt. Got out the epi pen in case.

She felt so awfeful for it is yes on my chart and all it was her error and oversight.

The think I am most thankful for is this.

Recently my thoughts have been on my selfhood.

Just who am I?

Once we got the latex off me we spoke.

Telling her that I make mistakes and that she should just see my dirty laundry.

Laughter came up in her as she sat really upset that she had put me in harms way.

A mistake.

I told her that the one time that I really ever got angry about it was when I had had the implant and that other doctor blew me off and did the surgery with latex gloves and I had to come out of anistia and have the double fitigue of the latex effect.

"I would be angry too" she said.

Yes, I told her but I chose to forgive him for if not the consequence would be worse than the latex.

A hard heart.

I told her the ship wreck of a hard heart as I witnessed so many times is so devastating.

I comforted her. She was saying NO I Should be apologizing to you.

I accept it and told her "it's alright , I will be alright and as many times as I have come to this practice it is amazing that it has not happened before. We all make mistakes.

There was no charge.

I left to go home and stopped to get some ribbon I needed and saw a calendar for $5 and I really need one.

The calendar is on praise.

INSIDE the calendar was the hard card stock

upon that cardboard that is usually a thing to be tossed...

was this

Just think, You're here not by chance, but by God's choosing.

His hand formed you and made you the person you are.

He compares you to no one else-

You are one of a kind.

You lack nothing that His grace can't give you.

He has allowed you to be here at this time in history to fulfill His special purpose for this generation.

Today was the perfect day to get a calendar

I visited my sweet friend over at Tea with Tiffany

This is what she posted today

We all face many giants.

I am so glad for the cheering sections along the way.

Blind folded.

The coach is there.

Don't give up he screams in my ear.

I have felt like I just cant keep going

It's too hard.

The weight is too heavy.

I thought to compare on the way to the dentist and thought of the shame of it for my life has so much ease when I think of so many others without the privilege.

This reminds me though that we all face different giants.

My lips are numb from the latex and I feel week.

The tasks are high.

I love the song that is the inspiration for this blog.

Don't worry mother, it'll be alright
And don't worry sister, say your prayers and sleep right
It'll be fine lover of mine
It'll be just fine
Lend your voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend your strength to that which you wish to be free from
Fill your lives with love and bravery
And you shall lead a live uncommon
I've heard you anguish
I've heard you hearts cry out
We are tired, we are weary, but we aren't worn out
Set down you chains, until only faith remains
Set down you chains
And lend your voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend your strength to that
Which you wish to be free from
Fill your lives with love and bravery
And we shall lead a life uncommon
There are plenty of people who pray for peace
But if praying were enough it would have come to be
Let your words enslave no one and the heavens will hush themselves
To hear our voices ring out clear
With sounds of freedom
Sounds of freedom
Come on you unbelievers, move out of the way
There is a new army coming and we are armed with faith
To live, we must give
To live
And lend our voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend our strength to that which we with to be free from
Fill your lives with love and bravery
And we shall lead...
Lend our voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend our strength to that which we with to be free from
Fill you lives with love and bravery
And we shall lead a life uncommon
