I Am Not There Yet
….and not sure if I ever will be, wherever 'there' is. After his final tennis match in the Australian Open, the Australian Of The Year gave a great speech including the comment that he loves his disability. I thought 'good for you mate. I'm not there yet.' And with things going the way they are, I wonder if/when that will happen.
Not to be too sarcastic about it, but I only feel worsening pain when I walk, stand, sit and lie down. Consequences of being legally blind are painful. Meal time food and drink spills do not fill me with joy or confidence. I may as well say it, it's all true.
I also know where I'd be but for the love and care of my wife and loved ones. Not long ago I talked to God of my predicament. And He said (again) "...and if I don't grant your wishes, will I be enough for you?" There's only one of two answers to that for me. My mind says 'Yes' to this question. Living this out every day and night is the big deal
