Time...Our Moment
Time could be defined as an instance or single occasion for some event. Yes, time is a period in which we live and follow in, but it’s also a once in a life-time hour, second…moment. And how we decide to act during those few seconds could honestly define our future. We live a life where we are put to the test everyday and where we’re persecuted from the inside, meaning our flesh has to die each day to the darkness around us. Because of time our body’s age, the older we get the more fragile or skin becomes; however, it should be the opposite with our spirit. Yes, our spirit should mature, but it shouldn’t become old and fatigue, instead it was marvelously designed to become stronger and healthier with the years that go by. As hard as times could be with different environments and different people, we made the choice to be the light. Oh, how I wish that every new situation that I encounter would be peachy; but I also need to understand that without challenges I won’t grow and I won’t learn, and time will just keep ticking.

Reflecting on clinical?
ReplyDeleteIlana,
ReplyDeleteI liked your post because it reminded me that challenges are an important part of life, and they really do help us grow. Every time I can remember truly growing spiritually is connected with some sort of lesson I had to learn - sometimes not an easy lesson either.
I also appreciated how you put the older adult care in perspective. Yes, we are there to care for them, but they can teach us so much if we only listen to them. I am excited to talk to some of the residents on my patient's floor...many of them are over 90! Just imagine what they could teach me and the stories they could tell!
Thanks for your post!
