Silence hung between us, the memory flying back~"Oh that Tree--yes I recall helping you cut it down--and I also remember laying on the ground, my lungs begging for air--realizing I had met my match by trying to work with you!" I felt a deep ache inside--"No--it took another Tree to do all this damage~~nobody's fault but my own!"
Aged Eyes filled with Tears--her hand lightly caressing my shoulder--no words needed. Compassion poured and I drank it in. Two women~~bound together by friendship and the memory of Trees.
Dear Martha, as always I am brought up short as I read your post. As always you give God the credit for your outlook on this issue of pain. I would like to repost one of your post on my blog. I don't have many who stop by, but the few that do I think would be touched by your persistent willingness to continue on praising Him in the face of chronic pain. Which one would you pick or would you like to write a new one? I have never done this except to copy and paste so if you know of another way then tell me. I do know how to link them back to your site, or I think I do, hehe. You could send me an email with what you would like to say. Let me first send you something I would write before they read your post. I will work on it for a couple of day and send. Love you friend, praying for you.
