The following is from a post on Facebook that my Grandma, Genda reposted on Facebook from a guy by the name of Rick Brown. I thought that this was very much something that should be posted on here:
A 93-year-old man in a hospital in Italy who survived COVID-19 was billed for the respirator which he needed for a full day at the height of his sickness.
He began to cry. The doctor asked him not to cry over the expense because they could work something out. His response made the doctors cry.
The old man said, “I do not cry for the money I have to pay, because I can afford all this. I cry because I’ve been breathing God’s air for 93 years, but I never paid for it. It takes 500 euros to use the respirator in the hospital for a day. Do you know how much I owe God? I have never thanked God for this before.”
The words of this man deserve our reflection.
When we breathe freely without pain and disease, no one takes the air seriously. Only when we are without it do we realize how precious a gift from God each breath of life is!
LET EVERYTHING THAT HATH BREATH PRAISE THE LORD!
-Psalm 150:6
