Prayer

Heading to the hospital and I think as I put the sock on a purple and swollen 
ankle of my second oldest son in its a fracture, i am brought back to the year of 2008 when i fracturesd my own foot, compartment syndrome they called it,

if my heart can open as much as it does to feel such empathy for my sons 
condition, and what was once my own,  

I will be doing great service in the world today, 

chaplaincy!
