Vet: “The doctor said I can’t
drive anymore.” His wife gently patted his knee.
Wife: “I guess we knew this was
coming.”
Friend: “But it still hurts.”
Vet: “We’ll have to sell the
house.”
Wife: “We could move closer into
town where we can walk to the store.”
Vet: “Neither one of us can
walk.”
Wife: “Well at least we won’t have
to buy gas for the car since we can’t drive it.”
Vet: “We’ll have to buy gas for
the car if we keep it…I guess we could sell the car.”
Wife: “Well, I think we can
cancel the appointment with eye doctor, don’t you?”
From my bird’s eye view my heart went out to all three of the
old-timers as they grieved the loss of a driver’s license and tried to formulate
plans for the future. Jesus reminded me,
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
(Matt 6:34 NIV)

Gail;
-----As Jesus went from town to town crowds gathered around Him for healing. He even resurrected a few dead folks. The same effect followed His apostles. But as many as went and were healed went not and were not, and more. In fact, the bigger population of the world proceeded obliviously about their business and were not healed either. As many as went and were healed or even raised from the dead eventually died. The rest did too. And we all have been getting sick, and hurt, and growing old, and accruing troubles, and dying ever since. It is the way of the world. I love the wife’s final comment. Our joy does not come from being relieved of life’s troubles. It comes from responding to them correctly.
Love you all,
Steve Corey
