Earbuds

 

I’ve started using my wife’s earbuds at cardiac rehab.  Although they’re an Apple product, they bluetooth seamlessly with my Android phone.  I downloaded Spotify to play songs to keep me motivated while I exercise.  Pedaling for 9 minutes, rowing for 6 minutes, etc. can get tedious.  But Monday, I was finished with exercises, and as I was wrapping up my paperwork, one of the nurses said, “Nice singing today.”  With the earbuds in my ears, I hadn’t realized that I had been singing with the online songs.  The nurse had a slight smirk on his face when he said it, so I took it to be a joke.  But I didn’t care.  I had finished my exercises in record time with minimal ‘pain and suffering’.  I smiled at his off-handed compliment and mouthed a ‘thank you’ to him as I turned to leave.  Psalm 40:3, “And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.”  I was proud of my song selection that day, and I pray that Brian had heard a few ‘praises to the Lord’.  Maybe he’ll think about the Lord a little more.
