Time to slow down
A close relative recently had a heart-attack and as a result was rushed to hospital and spent a couple of days in intensive care. He's since come out but because of the trauma to his heart, his brain seems to have been affected and will take some time to "regenerate" and recover. He has done well over the past week and given his high level of fitness, would probably recover fully - however, it would probably take a while and would require the support of those around him.
This also serves as a reminder to the rest of us that life is more than just chasing the deal, the business, the money. Life is more than work and meetings. No doubt we need to earn our living, but we also need to live. Unfortunately we are only reminded of the fragility and preciousness of life and our time here on earth when something major happens in our lives. So take heed and remind ourselves everyday that our Creator made the day, and the night, and all things beautiful in between. He made it for us to share with our loved ones, to point out, to cherish.
Pray for my relative, and for the rest of us who are slaves in this world.
