Visit from John
Today I had a visit from my friend and brother in the Lord,
John. Like us, John has 3 sons. I used to play basketball with the “old guys”
like John and I against the young guys John sons and others. These games were
some of my favorite memories. Over a decade ago John suffered a farming
accident and due to that is in a wheelchair now.
It was great having him visit. He understands
some of the thought processes I deal with and have to resist. Of course
resistance without the Lord’s help and the Bible is futile. It was a great
visit and I have come to appreciate John even more than I used to. I still see
John as a father of 3 sons and a very active person. I still don’t view him as
a wheelchair-bound. He will always be the other John to me! I know people see
me as being in a wheelchair but strangely I still have a self-image that doesn’t
include that. It still seems like I’m going to wake up some day and MS will be
gone.
