Today I got up sick after having spent the night sick. I started reading Hope for Each Day by Billy Graham. I wanted to share part of what I read:
In the midst of his suffering, Job said, "Man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward." (Job 5:7, NIV). It is true. I have never met a person who did not have troubles of some kind. Fear and sickness rob us of happiness; broken relationships and shattered dreams destroy our peace.
But one of God's greatest promises is that all of these will be forgotten in Heaven, where "there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." (Rev. 21:4)
This is the supreme reality of Heaven. Throughout eternity there will be an intimate relationship between Christ and His Church. He will be the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne, and He shall lead them to the fountains of living waters.
I found comfort in those words. I hope you will, too. Have a blessed and peaceful week.

Job is a surprisingly comforting book. He's the ultimate in endurance, tested faith, and unrealized despair.
Good post. Hope your starting to feel better. It sounds like those meds have you wiped out. It will get better.
