Good Morning. Here is a great thought for the day:

THE DOCTOR CALLED TO SAY that her husband had experienced a massive heart attack. Gladys Johnson raced to the hospital, wondering later if she had even managed to hang up the phone. She tried not to think the worst, but as she reached the doorway of her husband's room, she lost her composure.

All she could see was a mass of tubes, all kinds of machinery, and squiggly lines on the monitor overhead. "What happened?" she cried.

"A stroke," the nurse answered grimly. "He's stable now, but not very responsive."

Gladys fell to her knees at the side of the bed and gripped her husband's hand tightly. "I love you so much," she whispered, pressing his hand to her forehead. She prayed and told him how much she needed him to recover.

"Mrs. Johnson, what are you doing here?" the doctor questioned from the doorway-a little rudely, Gladys thought.

"I'm praying for my husband," she said.

"But Mr. Johnson is in the next room."

In her emotional state, Gladys had entered the wrong room. "Oh dear, I hope I didn't disturb this poor man," she said as she left the room.

"He's been unresponsive for a while," said the doctor. "I doubt that he even heard you."
The next day when Gladys visited her husband, she noticed that the bed in the next room was empty. "What happened to the man next door?" she asked.

"He gained consciousness shortly after you left," the doctor replied. "We're running some tests on him now, but I think he's going to be okay. He said an angel spoke to him last night and told him to get better."

Let people know how much you care, it does make a difference..

Have a wonderful day.

"Each morning is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When the sun rises tomorrow this day will be gone forever, in its place will be something you have left — may it be something good. Follow your heart, it knows what to do."
