God is great.....

My heart stopped for a moment when I received a phone call from my ex. colleague yesterday morning.  It was regarding my nephew.  He just has an epilepsy attack in his office which he just started work early last month. I rushed myself to his office.  Upon arriving, there was a medical doctor attending to him. His office colleagues were in shock as this is the first time they have seen such attack. I was calm and cool as I have seen this many a times in my office when he was working in the same office as me.  Every time he has his attack, my heart goes out for him and wondering why he has to go through life like this.  My heart ached for him so much so, every time the attack comes, I would be scared and always on my toes, alert !

after he regained consciousness, he normally forgot what has happened to him as he was still daze.  The ambulance came and took him back to the hospital for observation.  As usual he will refuse to stay in the hospital and insist to rest at home. I prayed that the Management will not asked him to leave after the attack episode in the office.  It was a tense weekend for me as the uncertainty of whether he will continue to work there or given the boot when he returns back to work the following Monday.

On Saturday morning, I received the dreadful phone call from my ex.colleague.  I am trying my best to control my emotions and to prepare myself for the worst.  He sounded serious and my heart was beating fast.......he said the boss is concern over the incident yesterday (Friday).  His advice was to have proper rest, medication and importantly to take care of his health by taking more nutritious food !!! My thoughts for the worst is yet to come.  The bombshell will be next...........!!!!! Please take care and have a good rest before clocking in to work when he is well !!! Did i hear what I just heard from my ex.colleague ?? I was elated and immediately burst "THANK AND PRAISE GOD" for his greatness and goodness. Thank God for leading him to work  for such an understanding boss. I was almost in tears !! I asked for the boss number as I need to personally thank him on behalf of the family. His number was busy when I tried calling so I decided to sent a SMS to him. My message :
"on behalf of the family, we sincerely thank you for your kindness and understanding to accept the condition of his health to allow him to continue working with your company.  May God bless you and your family always". He later replied, you're most welcome !!!

GOD always works in his mysterious ways and this is one of them.

THANK YOU, GOD !!!

S incerely thankfully.

Long after she is gone, I am still in a daze. What started out as a diversion from work as I stood looking out the window had left me flustered and in a turmoil.

It’s hard to explain why that look had impacted me thus. It was as if an old sore had reopened and its wound, after all this time, still painful.  

For years I’ve searched.. in faces of people I meet at malls, airports, hospitals. I’m at a loss to describe exactly what it is I am seeking but I know I would recognize it if it appeared. Through the passing of time, I thought I had convinced myself to end my search, but ever so often, out of sheer habit, I would unconsciously look; with no real hope of ever finding it again.

I didn’t deliberately set out to find it. The first time, it lasted only a split second so much so I wondered if I had imagined it? But in that brief glance; when she opened her eyes to look at me; it seemed as if time stood still and she had spoken words I alone could hear. Words I couldn’t comprehend or perhaps, chose not to in my denial to accept what I thought was said. Not knowing what to make of it, I have kept this a secret. But I could not forget.

   

It is inconceivable that I finally found closure in the most unlikely of place and circumstance; through a scene in the movie “Daylight”. The friends I was with must have thought it strange that I had cried so hard at the theatre that night. But the realization of what it was you were trying to say dawned on me with such clarity that I finally understood.

Since then I have been searching…. and I told myself, if I ever do find it, it will be me speaking, assuring you that everything is alright…
