When Reality Strikes

I spent an hour or so with a chap today who is dying of cancer ... we had a cup of tea and a serious chat ..... a man who had enjoyed good health all of his life ..he is a good man who is seeking peace with God ...I won't give his name but please pray for him.

I was reminded of this poem ....

I walked a mile with pleasure, she chattered all the way
But left me none the wiser, with all she had to say
I Walked a mile with sorrow, never a word said she
But oh the things I learned from her, when sorrow walked with me
