Science With Compassion

The diagnosis and treatment plan was presented with austerity
When I suggested an alternative natural remedy,
“You’ll still be sick” was said arrogantly
Well, I knew a second opinion was a must
Someone so rash, how could I trust


So, I reached out to two more medical professionals
And both confirmed the scientific diagnosis of the first
But they explained all the treatment pros and cons patiently
And put my mind at ease


Healing is a process
It takes prayers of course, but in science we also need to rely
But science is not enough
Healing requires compassion and love
As Jesus demonstrated to the crowds as He traveled forth 1
We heal better, when we know someone cares for us.


Scripture reference:
1 Matthew 14:14, And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion.

The Simplest Task Can Become A Major Task

I was going to walk three blocks to corner store
When all of a sudden a major cramp came in my leg
Ohh, how a simple short walk became impossible
It reminded me
Doing some everyday routine things can be taken for granted
But get sick, or unable to perform them,
And the simplest task can become a major task


I used to hear about athletes not playing due to a small bodily injury like a sore toe
And I’d think, how trivial
How could something that small prevent you from playing
But then I experienced a toe injury
And while the body part is small
The pain is huge
And it prevents you from doing a lot of things


I feel like thanking God more now
To be able to do simple things with ease
Simple things can be overlooked blessings
Sometimes we want or pray for major stuff or miracles
Not realizing the greatest blessings are already with us.

Scripture references:
1 Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you


The above verse reminds me to thank God for every blessing and not to overlook the daily routine blessings He gives me everyday.


Psalms 75:1 (To the chief Musician, Altaschith, A Psalm or Song of Asaph.) Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
