Dear Lord -
I thank you that today I am feeling a bit better and that the back pain is much less as are the muscle spasms. I'm terribly tired, but I think I may have turned the corner toward recovery.
I am also praying that You will help me to be patient and understanding with all of those around me who really don't understand what I have experienced or who lack any compassion for those who suffer with poor health. Help me Lord to remember that others are suffering and need kind and gentle encouragement. Most of all... teach me compassion.
Annie :o)
