The room was big! To be kind, I didn’t get the faces of those waiting around us there, today. On each-or under the polite mask-looms the possibility of: fear of the unknown, seriously high costs for procedures, various levels of discomfort…and so many other things running through your head when waiting. It made me so very aware how grateful I am to know the true meaning of joy. I could be hurting-not at all. I could know a scary diagnosis. I don’t. I could be here alone. I’m not.
Was the visit challenging? More than I will describe here.
Did you realize there can be times when we’re not happy-but still have joy? Today was one of those times.
Joy seems so easy when everything’s going well! The true test? The one that helps you lock into your faith? When life is not going exactly how you’d like. When you or someone you love is having a challenge. That’s when faith shines bright. That’s when you can include a smile, or bring a smile to another. That’s when God shows up…and highlights joy.
Ps. We do not have the results of this scan. I will post again, for a further update, another day. My heart is grateful tonight, and full of joy. #RICH#THERICHWAY #JOY
