Going to Sleep For Hours To Wake to a New Day

Two weeks ago I had entered the hospital because of the pain I was having.
Getting some relief was the measure I had hoped to attain.
While there the pain came back and I had to face an operation.
The day of the surgery I had been given something to put me to sleep.
I found myself going to sleep and remaining so for the evening hours.
I woke the next day about ten o'clock; in the morning.
Little did I know I was to stay for two days in ICU.
The parched lips and throat were forced upon me for I wasn't able to have anything to eat or drink.
I feigned to have some water but even this necessity was to be abhorred.
I couldn't wait to get my lips on the water I had so long desired.
Fresh coo water was mine to savor at last.
I was able to wake up with the next day at sunrise and later this day I had my family to come to see me.
Jesus is the One Who provided for my needs and supplied the water I had wanted so badly.
It was Jesus all the way and in Him I was made whole.
