Stop writing! haha. ok. it's good to reflect.

I just wanted to share that I had the chance to wheel a patient to a clinic today. No big deal and no i'm not boasting about my little kind act lest my reward in heaven be taken away! heh. I was leaving the hospital and this lady gestured to me. She said she was stranded because she needed a wheelchair and the security personnel weren't getting her one. So i went to the reception to find out what was happening and they said the porters were going to retrieve the wheelchairs because they were in great usage that day. Part of me thought, woman, please relax, they are doing their job, just be a bit patient, but part of me thought to stay and just see what I can do for this woman. I've also learnt that often it is God who brings these little interruptions into our lives. I was in fact heading home so i did feel a bit interrupted. A minute or so later a wheelchair became available because a patient had got off and got into a taxi. Since there was no porter I volunteered to wheel the woman to the SOC given that i wasn't in much of a rush anyway. And I was so blessed by that simple act. I mean sure I helped her, but I think it was more for me (tts not why i helped her of course), I was more blessed by it. Just the act of showing kindness to another person, the simple 'no-brainer' act. I needed that. i needed to be reminded why it is I'm doing medicine, especially when the going gets tough and you feel rather uninspired. I needed to be brought back to the simplicity of it all. The simplicity of life, the simplicity of joy and love and kindness. I needed that Lord, thank You for reminding me why and that You are with me.
