One Big Pill
Charles was working hard outside building a new sidewalk with large cement paver bricks.\xa0He was making good headway but was growing very weary as he goes back to his pickup truck to carry the final 100-pound paver to put in in place.\xa0As Charles picks up the paver from the bed of the truck is slips from his hands and falls on his right foot. He was sure that it was probably broken, and as he took his shoe off, he noticed that his foot was swelling up quickly.\xa0Sally, his wife, was not home at the time, so Charles hobbles to the driver seat of his pickup truck and heads to the Emergency Room.\xa0After waiting for 30 minutes, the pain was almost more than Charles could stand. Finally, he was called back to a room where Doctor Smith carefully examines Charles\u2019s foot and then took an Xray.\xa0Dr. Smith checks the Xray, and there were no broken bones.\xa0\xa0Dr. Smith came back and said, well Charles, the good news is that the foot is not broken, but there is damage to some muscles and ligaments.\xa0\xa0Dr. Smith hands Charles a pill big enough to choke a horse.\xa0He turned to Charles and said, \u201cI\u2019ll send the nurse in with some water.\u201d
Charles waited another 30 minutes with his foot hurting more all the time.\xa0He finally loses patience. Charles hobbles out to a nearby drinking fountain, forces the pill down his throat, and slurps down an abundance of water until the pill clears his throat. He hobbles back into the examining room.
Just then, the nurse comes in with a large bucket of warm water,\xa0she looks at Charles and says, \u201cOkay, after the tablet dissolves, soak that foot for about 20 minutes.\u201dI hope that brought a smile to your face today.\xa0If it did pass your smile onto some else, we all could use a kind smile each day.\xa0Our Thursday thought is, \u201cI tripped over a box of Kleenex this morning and thought I had broken my ankle. Thankfully, it was just soft tissue damage.\u201d


Here is our verse for today:
(https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%2010%3A15&version=NLT)
And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, \u201cHow beautiful are the\xa0feet\xa0of messengers who bring\xa0good\xa0news!\u201d
