What’s the worst thing we can do to someone, especially someone we care about?

 

I had a recent overnight stay in the hospital.  It was for a routine surgical procedure.  Now that I think about it, I’ve never understood the difference between major, minor and routine when it comes to surgery.  If it is performed on me, it’s major.

 

But…….to make a long story short, my stay was extended into the late afternoon due to some complications.  It was while I was waiting to be discharged, due to patient load and staffing, they decided to close the floor I was on.  Perfectly good business sense, but the problem was they didn’t tell me.  It was like they had forgotten me.  The halls were quiet, almost deserted.  It was not a good feeling.  Thank goodness for the call button.

 

Here is my question.  Who are you forgetting in your life?  I’ll guarantee you to them it is a miserable feeling.  I’ve been working on a list and I’m ashamed to say, that list is long, heartbreaking and soul-convicting.  I find myself over and over again saying, ouch.  Aren’t you glad God still issues wakeup calls?
