This morning I brought grandma to the hospital for her medical review. As much as I was concerned that her hip may not be healing well due to the fall she had last Sunday, I prayed and asked the Lord to prepare my heart.
An x-ray was taken when we arrived. After a short wait, the result was out and we met the specialist for the review. Based on the x-ray, grandma's hip is healing well and she is on the road to full recovery, provided that everyone takes all the precautionary measures required.
The doctor, however, advised me to up the physio-therapy sessions which grandma is to do at home. He feels that this will speed up the recovery process and also to strengthen her muscles.
It is a relief to know grandma is well. Again I can attribute all these to answered prayers! :)
I am supposed to help a dear sister-in-Christ today at her office. Last night it only occurred to me that grandma's review is today and I had no choice but to send her my apologies.
After sending grandma home, I headed to Vivocity. Another bookstore, Page One, is closing down and all books are going at 50% off. Stationeries are at 30% discount. I bought a couple of books - mainly for work purposes.
I was not planning to watch a movie but since I was near a theatre, I decided to catch a locally-produced movie entitled, "We Not Naughty!" Well, it was entertaining but to me, the storyline was a little predictable and occasionally messy. The one thing that caught my attention was right at the end when there was this phrase, "It's The End That Counts."
I do not know why it was included but as I pondered on this, it reveals to me something about life. You know, in our living years, we pursue our dreams. We get caught up in the rat race. We experience good or bad relationships with our family and friends. We may or may not take God seriously in our lives. Sad to say, many times He is non-existent in what we say and do... sometimes to the point of going against His will.
One thing I realised as I thought of the phrase mentioned above is this - everything we do till the day we breathe our last must prepare us for THE END and beyond because that is what counts.
We can earn as much money as we want but we cannot bring them with us when we leave this earth. We can compete with others in reaching the top but at the end, we still come crumbling down when we are on our death-bed. We can choose to go against God by disobeying Him or sometimes to the point of denying that there is a God but when we die, we have to stand before Him to account our lives.
I know what I have shared so far sounds scary or morbid but the "now" determines the "then." What is it going to be for you and me?
Well, something for us to ponder. It hit me and I will always keep this phrase in mind! :)
Just packed for work tomorrow. I will try to sleep earlier tonight. :)
