Why couldn't modern medicine find some way of giving patients bodily systems that wouldn't be dependent on refilling gasoline...I mean, taking medicine! Kinya said he'd go with me, like he always does.
It was HOT...I hadn't been out for awhile, haven't been walking or had any real exercise, for that matter, so even this 5-min. walk felt like torture for my weak back. We were "just walking," after all, not stopping here and there to take captivating pictures of wildlife.
I didn't see any of the flowers in the flowerboxes or parking lot...
The only living creatures that greeted us, I thought, were the kitty in the clinic parking lot and the sculpted sparrows on the sidewalk rails; but they were pretty extras God wanted me to see; thank You, Father.
As I was waiting for my prescription to be filled, it began sprinkling. I guess God used that to give us natural air conditioning, to bring down the temperature. Kinya and I decided, instead of taking nature pictures, since we might get rained on, to stop in at a nearby grocery store this afternoon--and God had treats lined up there for me...by the time we got out of the store, the clouds had parted, showing us a beautiful blue sky again.
By now, I'd gotten in the frame of mind where I could see the flowers God had been placing along the way for me. I hadn't been able to enjoy them when thinking about how hot and miserable I was. Just before going inside when we got back, I noticed my Mother's Day orchid mentioned in a previous post.
Hm; thank You God, for loving even silly folk like me who "gotta" be made every once in a while to enjoy His blessings!
