‘You will live in a spirit of glad surprise’.
Ruairi got a shock when he first saw the gash on my forehead this morning on FaceTime. I assured him that all is well. ‘Sun damage’. No sun-tan protection way back then. Saving hay in our swimsuits morning till night. Beyond sore for days on end. Amber Solaire tourist luxury!! Snob goods.
Thank God my ‘gash’ will heal. I may be left with a mark but nothing sinister. However, heading to Holy Mass I planned to visit my Docter tomorrow. Just to make sure all is going according to plan.
After Holy Mass, worried visitor to our town chatted with me. He works just two days and he needs more. Last week he complained he had no work at all. I shared what I know to be totally true; if we are not super grateful to God for what we already have, then we halt the flow of new Blessings into our lives. Attitude of gratitude at all times! He seemed pleased to hear that.
Somehow I did not take my usual route home and I actually wondered why, as I strolled along. Then, much needed surprise event! Wonderfully kind Docter and his charming wife walking my way, having attended Holy Mass too. On the spot, he kindly examined my ‘gash’, telling me all is fine thank God, adding ‘Come to the surgery in two weeks’. Wondering if I should apply some cream or something, both of them uttered in unison; ‘Holy water’. They know me so well!!
So grateful and relieved. I called Ruairi up right away, our young folk have enough worries of their own without adding ours to their list.
This morning, I read and took particular note, in that precious gem; ‘God calling; ‘You will live in a spirit of glad surprise’. Honestly. Words fail me!!
‘Though we speak much we cannot reach the end and the sum of our words is: ‘He is the all’. Sirach:43-27):
