I can't help myself - 30 years in emergency services has left me with this strange upbeat sense of humor. In the worst situations it shows up. I can't tell you how many times I've had to just bite my tongue when my odd take on life has tried to express itself. A blessing and a curse all rolled into one (especially for my poor tongue!)
Hello Egraine;
"strange upbeat sense of humor. In the worst situations it shows up." Thats me! Oh my gosh, I'm not alone. In the most extreme or awkward moments I'll expose a sense of humor that throws everyone off. In 2014 we had a church member admitted to the hospital because of serious heart palpitations and when my friend was feeling better but still in the hospital, I spoke with them on the phone and asked if my cell phone will explode if while charging I'm talking to that person? My friend wasn't expecting me to say such a thing and I don't know why I asked that. But the person starting laughing so hard, in front of the doctor, nurse and other visitors. Later I was told my friend felt much better.
I don't mean to do these things but I do.
Anyways, I digress. I want to praise God you are feeling better, Egraine. After much sleep, if you get the chance, listen to Hear Our Praises by Darlene Zschech on YouTube. When I am driving I enjoying listening to this song and I start reflecting God's creation - the sky, mountains, valleys and the waters, just praising Him. Thank you for sharing how God is healing you which is an encouragement to us all.
God bless you, Egraine.
