time...the ultimate physician

Why is it that time is the only thing that can heal all wounds?
Why isn't there a pill...or a magic potion...or even a universal "phrase" or saying that would work to make things better instantly?

Shane thinks it's because if we had an instant fix, we wouldn't learn from our mistakes or hurts and we would be doomed to repeat them. I think that makes perfect sense...except for the fact that I end up repeating them anyway.

How many times are we faced with the same temptation again and again...and how many times do we fall for it?

I know that I shouldn't have that last cookie...but if I get up extra early tomorrow and run...

I know my budget is really tight this month...but it IS on sale...

I know he said he would be there for me...and when I have this surgery I'm sure he will stand behind his word...in fact, that's one of the things he prides himself on...doing what he says he will do.

But I sat alone all night in a hospital...waiting for a visit...hoping for a phone call...that never came.

At the moment, I'm recovering from a number of wounds...some much deeper than others.
Time will take care of the physical ones.
With the help of my God and my friends...I'm going to take care of the rest.
