An Unexpected Hospital Visit

When I woke up yesterday morning, I assumed it would be an ordinary day with an equally ordinary agenda. But God had different plans for me. I received a frantic call from my husband mid morning who asked me to meet him at the hospital. My mother-in-law had suffered an apparent stroke..I rushed to the hospital. Her only symptom was wild involuntary movements of her left arm and leg. Luckily she had no bleed in her head according to the CT scan. We are now waiting for the MRI results. I am embarrassed to admit that I was briefly annoyed at the interruption of "my" own  little world and the fact that I will have to rearrange things a little to help out. God is trying to tell me how fragile life is and how I often take my life for granted. What I needed was a wake up call to my complacency   Nothing stays the same for very long.  I really am thankful for my life. Thank you God for reminding me that it's not all about me!
