What is the matter with your husband?
A couple of weeks ago, my husband experienced some sharp pain in his chest, but it went away after about 30 minutes. Two days ago, he felt pain again in his chest, which lasted for over forty minutes that time. As soon as I was ready to go to the hospital with him, the pain subsided. The next day, the doctor told my husband to get a blood test and an electrocardiogram from which we will know the results in about a week as to why my husband has been experiencing this kind of pain. I haven't been sleeping well since the second time he felt chest pain. If I feel him shifting in bed, I wake up to see if he was in pain. If I haven't been feeling him shift in bed, I wake up to see if he's still breathing.
Where does his sister fit into this?
My sister-in-law experienced some complications during the birth of her son in late April. Her son is fine, thankfully, but she has been feeling mild to extreme pain every day for the last four months. Every day, my husband and I pray for her and sometimes I wonder what God is trying to tell us about her ordeal. We went to visit her in Toronto in early July and my husband will see her again in late September. For these past few months, my husband has worried about his sister and I think his anxiety has manifested into a physical ailment (because my stress manifests itself in the form of stomach pains, so I wonder if the same is happening with my husband).
What does the song have anything to do with this?
Not much actually. I like this song because I found the lyrics amusing, yet pragmatic. When this song came on my iTunes, I listened intently to the lyrics. About three minutes into the song, this is what I heard:
Brother and Sister, together we'll make it through
Someday a spirit will take you and guide you there
I know that you're hurting, but I've been waiting to be there for you
And I'll be there just helping you out
Whenever I can...
Someday a spirit will take you and guide you there
I know that you're hurting, but I've been waiting to be there for you
And I'll be there just helping you out
Whenever I can...
Suddenly, I wept, quietly ... for my sister-in-law, for my husband, and because of the immense pain that they are both feeling, both physically and emotionally. I pray for strength and restoration of their spirits and health. Please pray with me. Please.
