Click here to read the first 75 lines of the story Unfortunately, it did not work, but at least I tried. I was sure looking forward to my doctor's visit and getting the authoritative word from him. Until then, someone else in the house had that word, and it certainly wasn't me. I am not very trusting of doctors these days. I don't know if they get it right or not. I don't depend upon them because I know a doctor can make a mistake. Sometimes a mistake is worse than the illness. But I take things as they come and try to think them through before making a decision. Then, the day of my doctor's appointment arrived. After I went through all of the examinations that doctors like him usually do, he looked at my results, and said, "You're fine, you're doing good." When he said that, I looked at him, smiled and said, "Doctor, can I have that in writing?" He laughed at me and then left the room, and I went home. The first thing The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage said when I walked in the house was, "What did the doctor say?" I've been waiting for this moment for a long time and I was going to savor every delicious moment. "My dear," I said as soberly as possible, trying to hide chuckles, "the doctor said I was fine and doing good, and doctors never lie." Then I splashed a laugh all over the place. It was one of my finest moments. I do not often win like this, but I have learned that it takes a lot of work to get to one win. For me one win is worth the effort. While I was enjoying my win, I thought of a Bible verse. “Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary” (Galatians 6:9). It's very easy to lose heart and I've done it often. The key to all this is, don't give up, be diligent and sow the right seeds. Tweet
