Why do we fall?

The fall as it happened today has left me in complete confusion.

Why did I fall?

I was just standing waiting for my footwear and am at complete loss to understand why this happened.

It took me a while to regain my composure and get up.

Oh my God!

The pain was excruciating and I started questioning my ability to withstand any more of this pain.

Escorted home by my distraught son who was constantly blaming himself for my fall , I was again given the diversion in trying to convince him that it was not him but my fate that caused this!

Subsequently I found that the right leg pain was more profound and severe.

Decided to have an x-ray to ensure that nothing major had happened.

Once again my poor kid escorted me to hospital,where my sister and second son were waiting to receive us.

An X Ray revealed a hairline fracture and after all the necessary aid,left for home.

The painkillers did little to the severe pain and the fall from grace again.

This time my ego wasn't bruised.My body pain won over everything.

Every step was a herculean effort.

I think my ability to withstand pain has come down now with age being the main culprit.

Wallowing in self pity and loathing myself,broke into tears.

But even that passed in a while.

Why do we fall?

Only to get up and get going again.

This fall cannot break our spirit.

We are stronger than this.

Whatever had to happen will happen even if we are extremely careful is the lesson I learnt.

Just endure and move on.

Miles to go before I 😴.

Hand of God

There I was sleeping after a long day.

Suddenly awakened by my boy,who never would unless it was really important.

I rushed to the next room to find my husband on the floor.

In coherent or coherent words coming out of his mouth.

My God !

If that wasn't a nightmare I don't know what else is?

The next minutes did not allow us to play pause.

We had to do something, called our helplines for ambulance and physical support and emotional support too.

Rushed him to a hospital which was 20 kms away.

Wheeled him into the ICU.

The paramedical care given by our son worked wonders and yes,we heaved a sigh of relief after five days of evaluation and medical intervention.

Why this happened especially when he was sleeping we know not.

But what I saw was the divine play.

The left part of his body lost itself for a while and when I saw the way it regained itself, that's where I saw God.

His mercy which is limitless bestowed upon us.

I agree that there was an incident but it was His intervention which corrected the blip.

Our humble prostrations to the Mighty One who has decided to let him have everything again.

What else can I offer to the omnipotent one who has been an ocean of Mercy to us!! ❣️
