GO
I feel quite sick right now and have for a long time. I remember when I was very young I had a phobia of
throwing up. I must have been eight or nine years old and I would make my dear mother sit with me in the
bathroom as I sat on the floor near the toilet, knees on towels for padding, body ready to heave, tears
streaming down my cheeks. Mom would be trying to comfort me, knowing I was probably not going to
vomit since I rarely did. I was mostly-sort-of-a-hypochondriac in that sense. But Mom did not make me feel
bad or stupid; she was supportive and loving. I listened to oldies music back then and I remember a song
that went, "Apple peaces pumpkin pieeeeee" came on the radio while I was crying in the bathroom because I
was yet again afraid of vomiting and we burst into sudden laughter because I said that song was making me
nauseous. Instead of remembering fear and sickness, I remember love and care. I feel so grateful to have had
a mother who took such loving care of me. I know that she would be so happy to know that I have found
my loving Father who is so good at taking care of me. And so He does right now. As I am sick and going to
have this procedure tomorrow to try to find out what is going on, I know Mom is in Heaven, watching me be
sick and...yes vomit...but vomit without fear...(go me!)...and I know Mom is proud of me and glad that I
have my Heavenly Father taking care of me. She knows He can take care of me better than anyone can.
Doctors included. O Great Physician, heal me, Lord.
STOP
*********************************
So Mom, this one's for you:
Linking up with Lisa-Jo Baker and I hope she doesn't mind that I made up my own word because I don't know what her word is going to be.
Remember, this 5 Minute Almost-Friday!
