Glimpsing Grace through practices of the rule of St. Benedict and the Cistercian charisms . This site is personal pondering of what it means to be fully human and yet only children in relationship to God. “Beloved, we are God’s children now and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when He appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as He is . “ 1 John 3:2
WORD PRESS. DAILY PROMPT
Have you ever broken a bone?
Yep, Broken ribs given to patient after CPR . And here is the Conversation of a jaded nurse whose patient complains of broken rib pain.
Im sorry sir , i know it hurts
It’s really not broken , its only a fracture
But , your heart needed a jolt
Or you would be in rapture
All will be healed in a little longer
As what doesn’t kill will grow back stronger.
A friend of mine spent several weeks groaning with a cracked rib after I saved him from choking with the Heimlich maneuver. I agree with the jaded nurse. Some things are more permanent than a cracked rib.
