Canes

I came across Jeff's assortment of canes tonight. As discussed in an earlier post, Dr. Long got rid of them to keep him from being dependant on them. It was a reminder to me of how far he has come. During Christmas, Jeff and Tiff's church, Lighthouse Community, has a Christmas Eve service. We attend every year as it is a simple celebration of Christ's birth. No blaring music, just a time to reflect and listen. The church usually has 4 members share their testimony. This year Jeff shared. He shared about his surgery and how he felt it was God teaching him his plan rather than Jeff's plan for his life. As a parent, it was a comfort to hear.

But as he spoke, I still felt the pangs of guilt. Could we have done something earlier, did we wait too long, could we have lessened severity of the injury. As I reflect on it now, Jeff's' message still has not sunk in. Resolving my guilt with the acceptance of Gods' will, will take a while longer than one night.
