Wisdom Quote #7 6/17/16
One night, I found my wife crying in our living room. I had no clue what could have made her cry. “Why are you crying?” I inquired. Instead of talking she pointed to the thick book she was reading on her lap. “Are you reading a sad story and it made you cry?” Again she pointed to the book, still crying. I took the book from her. It was a human anatomy and physiology text book. Laughing, I asked, “What in the world would make you cry reading a human anatomy text book? If it was the Bible I would not be surprised!”
Then she explained. I was studying the parts of the human ear for my test and I realized how intricately God designed the human body. The complexity of the human ear is so amazing! It shows God’s wonder! It reminded me of the verse in Psalm that says “I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” (Psalm 139:14). All human beings regardless of color or creed, young and old, rich or poor are created in God’s image. They are His master pieces. Every single person is designed by God and therefore must be treated with love and care and respect.” She said with sparkles in her eyes like a little child. Then she continued. “I was praying that if the Lord will allow me to become a nurse, I promise to respect and care for my every patient regardless of who they are.” I knew then that she would be a very good nurse.
My wife shifted career from engineering to nursing. Now she is a nurse–an extraordinary nurse I must say! She loves visiting patients in their homes because in that environment she builds relationships with them that usually opens the door for her to share the love of God. While working as a bedside nurse she always looks for opportunity to lead a patient to the Lord. I am so happy I married my former Sunday school teacher! I’m still learning valuable lessons about life from her.
I’m sharing this story to honor her on her birthday this month of June. Happy birthday sweetheart! I love you. If you missed our love story please read the blog: “The Love of My Life Pt1 and Pt2”.
