Hi all,
I found that there are two camps as far as visiting a sick person. Some persons want a crowd around while they are sick, others want to be left alone to heal, I'm with the latter group. I prefer to be alone to heal and will then seek out persons when I feel better, I love email, and cards, prayers and such, they don't interfere with my healing. But yesterday two persons from my work said the hell with my wishes as they barged into the cancer center to look me up. As I am weak and had no where to exit I had to face them, their wishes seemed to be hallow as I saw the shock in their eyes, my state has detracted since I was last at work. I kept wondering why they had come here, soon enough I got to see their ulterior motive as they hauled out the religious pamphlets. I felt that I was being prayed upon in my time of weakness, these persons pushing their version of God on me despite my personal views on this subject. Their gross trespass into my personal life left me angry and off my treatments, it invades my sleep and effects my healing ability, just what I need at the lowest tide of my whole cycle. I pray the Lord to give me the strength that I may start to forgive this trespass, thanks a lot, only thinking of yourself and not those you affect.
Next time you feel like dropping in on a sick person make sure that you are welcome and not a hindrance to the healing process...
