Well, the dentist worked on my teeth a little more. The bite feels more even now. I hope after the mouth weirdness goes away (from sitting with my mouth wide open and my teeth being ground on) that my bite will be tolerable. If it means no jaw, gum, tooth, ear, or sinus pain, I can live with weirdness.
I am pretty used to weirdness of all kinds; weird pretty much describes most of my life. Like looking down between my eye glasses edge and the floor, missing the first step and jumping/hopping down the rest of the steps to keep my balance; I landed on my feet, believe it or not. I wish someone could have witnessed that awesome display of un-gracefulness. Or deflecting a basketball coming at my face while my partner chest passes our ball and hits me square on the left side of the chest (think family jewels for women). How about going for a pass and having your shoe catch the carpet, only to have the rest of your body keep moving causing you to stumble backwards and fall on your bum. Yep, the 4th, 5th and 6th graders got a giggle out of that. And this all happened in the last 24 hours. My husband says I shouldn’t leave the house without wearing bubble wrap.
With all the weirdness of life, are there really any accidents? Take my dentist experience, for example. After getting my bite “fixed,” I stopped by the checkout desk. On the flip calendar was the most beautiful saying:
“Confide in God, be patient, weep if your heart is sore, but love always, and wait and trust. Sorrow will pass, but God will remain forever.”
I have a friend whose father’s funeral was today. Did I need to go back to the dentist, or did I need to read that message? Are there really ever any accidents in life?
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
