A New Heart
Daddy was never one to go to the doctor
unless he felt really sick. One time
when he hadn’t been feelin’ up to par
for a few weeks, Mamma finally got him to go to the doctor. I went with Daddy, bein’ I was home from
beauty school.
The doctor ran some tests
in his office includin’ an EKG.
Somethin’ showed up on the test that the doctor didn’t like. He set up an appointment for a heart
catheterization for the next day.
This test showed that Daddy had blockages
in five different arteries. We were all
shocked! Other than bein’ tired, Daddy didn’t have any other symptoms. Daddy was gonna need a quintuple bypass. This was the most major event to happen in
our family.
After surgery, Daddy had a reaction to one
of the medications which kept him in the hospital longer than planned. Finally, he was well enough to come
home. Within a few weeks, Daddy was back
to his old self. He went back to work
stronger ‘n healthier.
Lookin’ back on Daddy’s heart surgery reminds
me that we all get a new heart when we accept Jesus as our Savior!
Ezekiel
18:31 Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed,
and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit.
Lord, thank you for the new heart we get when we receive you as our personal Savior. In the name of Jesus, amen.
Things To Think 'Bout:
1. Have you accepted Jesus?
2. Do you need a heart check-up?
Thanks JoJo!
