Jack’s Winning Words 9/28/20

Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.”  (Van Gogh)  Coil springs, smaller than a grain of salt, using wire 1/3 the size of a human hair are made for heart repair by a Michigan company.  I recently had surgery done using small robotic instruments.  Vincent knew it, and so do we…Great thing happen when there is co-operation: in art, in a heart, in a family, in a country.  Have you seen examples of this in your experiences?  :-)  Jack   

FROM JM IN FH:     he winning words that reference to your surgery are perfect for all aspects of life! Thank you as always for sharing your insights.  Try to behave yourself, only to quicken your recovery, LOL! 😃===JACK:  I haven't heard "Behave yourself!" since I was a little kid.

FROM BLAZING OAKS:  Hard to imagine such tiny intricate pieces being manufactured and used to save heart patients!! Amazing! One would have to be alert and adept to hand that to a surgeon, and him, to insert it properly! whoops! Oh no! (Ha!)  I just read of a small boy who had a lemonade stand to earn money to buy diapers for needy mothers, (He actually bought thousands of diapers),  which has now become  a national charity successfully doing that; He still contributes!  Inspiring!===JACK:  Every community seems to have an inspiring story.  Maybe we've lost track of the fact that God is still alive and working.

FROM WILLMAR REV:  A pacemaker the size of a "silver bullet" placed in a blood vessel of mine in my groin area and it makes it way to and is dropped off in the right heart chamber, enabling a consistent heart rate for 11 years . . . only one stitch required. How about that?!?!===JACK:  Would you consider that to be one of "God's" miracles?  Is God responsible for medical breakthroughs? ===REV:  A gift of wisdom for sure given to mankind and definitely a medical breakthrough! 

FROM LS IN WB:  Today, Yom Kippur,  all our small sins brought together to be tossed into the river.  Together,  they are a large part of us - forgiveness of self is one of our greatest gift to ourselves. Thank you for your winning words.  I ponder what you share and embrace the joy of receiving the opportunity each morning- thank you. I am glad your surgery was successful.  Best wishes for your comfort in healing.===JACK:  Yom Kippur is one of my favorite Jewish holidays.  As with Christians, I suppose that many don't fully appreciate the meaning of what has been passed on from generation to generation.
