Cherish every day, do the important things...

Saturday's, are they another day to lounge on a couch or favorite chair watching a show, possibly doing yard work, or how about just doing nothing...

Five short Saturdays ago Rob may have been doing some of these same things. Today he is having to relearn how to move in a way to function in today's world, simple things those of us without a disability take for granted like, touching our hands together, scratching an itch, rubbing our face with both hands, wiping our noses, not to mention thousands of other things that are done each day.

When you get to the end of this post I would challenge you to take a few minutes and think back in time about 30 minutes and try to list all the things you did during that 30 minutes up until finishing reading this post, how about walking to the computer, opening or turning it on, clicking the browser icon, navigating to this post, reading while using the mouse, are you drinking coffee, tea, soda, are you shifting in your chair, did you cross your legs, tap your foot, are you thinking about what is written in this post?

Rob can do none of these by himself currently except the thinking part, he is having to learn how to teach his muscles to work in a way to accomplish these tasks. But he is also thinking about all that has happened since June 6th and what the future holds. He is talking to his Lord and Savior about all of this and much more. Please take the time to do these things above then take a few more minutes and pray for Rob specifically about some of the things you are now thinking about.



Until next time,

Chris
