The Truth - 51
The Truth, The Whole
Truth and Nothing But The Truth
If you have ever been sick in your life,
this testimony below from a 69 year old woman would make a load of sense to you
"Today I’m sitting in my hospital bed waiting to have both my breasts removed. But in a strange way, I feel like the lucky one. Until now I have had no health problems. I’m a sixty-nine-year-old woman in the last room at the end of the hall before the pediatric division of the hospital begins. Over the past few hours I have watched dozens of cancer patients being wheeled by in wheelchairs and rolling beds. None of these patients could be a day older than seventeen."
Does that resonate with you?
At 69, she had had no health challenge until cancer was detected in her system and instead of being nihilistic about it, she was expressing gratitude because she was seeing much more younger persons being taken to the Wards because of same ailment.
What lesson does one have to learn from this testimony?
It should remind us that there is always, always something to be thankful for. And that no matter how good or bad we have it right now, we must wake up each day thankful for our lives, because someone, somewhere is desperately fighting for theirs.
Now that is The Truth, the WHOLE Truth and nothing but the Truth

I call it grateful and thankful as well. In the course of our life, we tend to always feel that we need this or need that when we forget to be thankful for what we already have. Being thankful have a natural way of radiating inner joy that flows within and around us. Thank you for sharing this lovely story.
