You know that I should know better by now. I just thought that my next post would be about my rehab. Following is the most exciting thing that has happened to me since rehab.
God really does work in mysterious ways. Just after rehab, I went straight to Houston to be with my wife as she had a mastectomy because of breast cancer. One morning standing in a line for breakfast, I was behind a young black man. He was just trying to order some eggs, but the lady behind the counter just couldn't understand him. She was oriental and had a strong accent. This young man, who I will call Rodney, exhibited great strength and just accepted what the lady made and told her God Bless You. He meant it. I just had to meet this guy and went into the dining room and invited myself to sit down with him and eat.
Found out he was an ex-Pro Football player and his girlfriend was in the hospital for some surgery that would prepare her for a heart transplant. We spent some time together, even playing dominos in his girlfriend's room. Her name is Tamera. I told him about my wife and he and I prayed together several times. We prayed for Carla and Tamera. As we left the hospital, I got their phone number and wanted to hear when she was going to get her heart.
When we left to go to Houston last week, I called and talked to Tamera. She was still waiting for her heart. Carla had her surgery last Thursday and went home from the hospital on Saturday. We are staying at our daughter's house in Houston. On Sunday, I got a text message from Tamera. Her heart was in Houston and she was heading for the hospital.
Today, we had to go back to the hospital and get a checkup on my wife's surgery. While we were at the hospital, we went by the cardiac transplant unit and met Tamera's dad. She got her heart last Sunday night. She is having a few complications but everything seems to be alright. God blessed me and let me meet this wonderful person.
Listen to the video, It starts out by saying that this game of baseball is only 1/2 skill, the other half heart. Well the same could be said for life itself. You gotta have heart and Tamera got her new one.
Life is exciting if you just listen. God will lead you if you let him.
Please take care of Tamera dear Lord and help her to heal.
