Steel Gray

What color would you use to describe your past week? Why? (Serendipity Bible Fourth Edition, page 1718).

This week began with my visiting an emergency room because of an excruciating pain towards the back of my torso. This same week also saw the return of my friend Connie to surgery to remove an implant put in place following a breast mastectomy. The reason she returned was because of severe infection around the implant. This puts her back to “square 1" regarding in-place drainage tubes and the like. All this reminds me that life can have a steel gray character in which facts are insurmountable and not subject to elimination by any type of wishful thinking. During such times it is especially important to receive and be appreciative of all acts of kindness.
