A few years ago, my nine-year-old grandson hung around with me
on a teacher’s in-service day. After
breakfast at Chick fil-A, Bennett and I picked up Kathy at dialysis. Bennett asked her, “Marmie, do you like
dialysis?” Kathy chuckled and answered,
“Well, not really, but I have to go to dialysis in order to live. And I want to be around to watch you grow
up.” Bennett was quiet for a while. I explained to Bennett that dialysis was like
him getting a shot at the doctor’s office.
I said, “You really don’t like it, but you need it.” Bennett though for a minute and said, “I
guess dialysis is better than … well … you know … living upstairs.” Sometimes we have difficulty facing the
inevitable. The writer of the book of
Hebrews said in Hebrews 9:27, “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but
after this the judgment.” Hey, are you
ready to die and ready for that judgement day?
If you aren’t ready for those two appointments, message me and we can
chat.
