A short stroy from my recent stay in the hospital.
In The Rehab Hospital (part 1)

In The Rehab Hospital (part 1)
It was three o'clock in the morning and I was having a hard time sleeping. We all have those kind of times when we are in the hospital. I was listening to a Christian radio station that played lovely old hymns and some of the newer Christian music. I had to ring the bell for the nurse to let the rail on my bed down so I could go to the bathroom. My nurse that evening was Bernie, a young Hispanic male attendant. He straightened my bed and got me fresh water.
When I came back to my bed he stayed for a few minutes listening to the music playing on my smart phone. The hymn that was playing was 'I Surrender All.' Bernie began to hum with the music so I began to sing the words.
This led us into a conversation about the hymn.
I said, "Bernie, I think you know that hymn well."
He replied, "Indeed I do."
I said, "If we sing the words to that hymn, we'd better mean what we are singing, as God may take us through a trial and we may have to surrender all to Him."
That is just a short story of being in the hospital for 16 days.
