The Orthopedic Surgeon had removed the quarantine, so I quickly called Glory to let her know to tell everyone they were welcome to visit. Still drugged I faded into sleepy oblivion, until I was once again awoken to never ending giggling.
I slowly opened my eyes to a room full of smiling family members. When they saw my eyes flicker in recognition they all laughingly chimed in, "Stop pulling my leg!" This brought a grin to my face and an idea to my mind. I said, "Our family has always used God and humor to help us make it through everything. We can't stop now! I welcome any prayers and jokes you guys can come up with. While I slept God told me in a dream that we needed to keep our positive attitudes, because we would be a testimony of His power and a light to others who need Him."
Then I became really serious and everyone was on edge to find out what could be so important . I hesitated before asking, "Do you think when I go for a pedicure I can get half off?" Relief and a bit of frustration crossed their faces then it all melted into boisterous laughter...
In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5:16
I am blessed
