I Fell Off a Ladder

I had an 8 ft step ladder that I was using to get into my boat that I was painting. I would climb to the top of the ladder and step over the gunnel into the boat, but one time as I was stepping into the boat the ladder fell over in the opposite direction. I made a jump for the boat and landed half in and half out on the gunnel which is the top of the sides of the boat. I landed on my left side and my ribs took the full blow. It feels like I broke a rib or cracked one, I don’t know for sure but I do know that if you tell a joke I cry instead of laugh. Now I am trying to do what I normally do but every move I make hurts so I am moving very slow. I am working hard to smile all the time, not complaining, not even a little bit. I am regularly meditating on Phillipians 4:4 and Phillipians 2:14. Do all things without grumbling and rejoice always. A test from the Lord that I am presently failing.

    Pastor Dee, I know you don’t write about things like your possible broken ribs to garner sympathy but as you’ve mentioned before as believers we can support each other. So I will be supporting you in prayer.
    Thank you for your faithful example to all of us.
    God bless you…
