So... I have this friend who had some "elective" surgery. It wasn't necessary, but to her it seemed the right thing to do at the time. She was a little vain in my opinion, but since the price was right and it was important to her, I thought I should support her decision. Well, wouldn't you just know it. It became way more involved than she had expected. Actually she was (is) downright miserable while it took (takes) time for her to heal. She's hoping and praying it's going to feel better with a little more time and perhaps an adjustment tomorrow. At the moment she wishes she could go back to the way it was before the surgery. It really wasn't that bad, right? Who would have even noticed (unless she opened her mouth)? I mean, what ever happened to the old, "If it's not broke don't fix it" theory? Was it worth it? Please don't ask her today.
Lord, please give me compassion for those who make stupid decisions (like I did) and do things they wish they hadn't. I know you don't punish, but help me trust that you don't when it certainly feels like you do. Forgive me for not coming to You first.
With love from Your friend,
xoxo

The picture made me link over here to read this! Funny! I think the most impressive thing was the courage to allow the photo to be made!
Love it!
