A HUSBAND'S DREAM

A very fun and bubbly friend was telling us about her emergency appendectomy in Des Moines. She was there alone with her daughter for a soccer tournament. It was quite an ordeal, but her hilarious facial expressions, gestures and storytelling skills made listening to her long, long account a very enjoyable experience.

Finally, she got to the surgery itself, which was in the middle of the night. She said she was telling a really, really funny story while they had her all ready to go on the table. The anesthesiologist waited patiently as she continued to tell this really, really funny story.

Finally, he said briskly, “That is a really, really funny story, but now it’s time for you to stop telling it,” and he snapped that gas mask on her talkative face and shut her up, faster than you could say “Jiminy Christmas.”

We all laughed when someone exclaimed, “It’s a husband’s dream!”

Prayer request: Someone who is very sweet and reserved has become increasingly dismayed over the unhealthy choices that are being made by someone she cares about. She is mustering the courage to speak out about it and risk their longtime friendship. We pray for wisdom, patience and a winning mix of empathy and reality for her in the delivery of that perhaps unwelcome message. We are sure it bears Your truth and expresses Your will. In Jesus’ Name, we ask that You bless that conversation, Father, and turn that life around fully toward You. (James 5:7,8)
