Better every day

I talked to Dad this morning. He's still a little groggy, and tired, and he has a bit of a fever that's been coming and going; but nothing out of the ordinary for the recovering surgical patient. He's coming along nicely, and expects to go home from the hospital tomorrow.

You know, I spent the summer as a hospital chaplain last year, and there I saw it every day; but it still does not cease to amaze me how quickly people are up on their feet and then sent home after major surgery.

All praise to our gracious God, in thanksgiving for the healing skill He has placed in the hands and hearts of the doctors and nurses who do this work every day.
