Music Discovered

My long-time friend Al Wipf is in the hospital this week for a heart valve replacement. His daughter, Lisa, has been keeping us apprised of his condition, which thankfully is very good. On the first evening, though, when things weren't quite so clear, she penned this note:

'The orchestra that God is directing is sometimes beautiful sometimes painful sometimes miraculous. Sometimes we are given a show/performance that is amazing.

God allowed me to be off this day, I took off long ago. There were two nurses that knew Tobi from high school, a patient of mine and dads is the head floor nurse and took care to over see us. A friend of mine Shannon was here for her husbands surgery: comfort  A friend of mothers was volunteering at the front desk. All were orchestrated to be here today; at this time.  At this place. Whether good happens or bad we have blessed by these people; our friends that have surrounded us.

It's eight. They want to take the tube out but he refuses to breath deep enough. But his colour is good and temp good. They really think he's doing well.   This is the last email for the night. Tonight All is well with the world."

All is still well with the world; God is in charge, regardless of the circumstances in which we find ourselves.There is a symphony being played that occasionally we are allowed to hear. I'm glad that Lisa had such a moment and shared it with the rest of us. Remember the music.
