Reminder

Work has been absolutely insane...this weekend postpartum was full, labor & delivery was full, triage was full, and we had people laboring in wheelchairs because there were no beds to put them in. That's bad.

I had a rather unique group of patients. All were very nice people but most of them had issues, health or otherwise. So I spent all 24 hours of my two shifts running from one room to another helping mothers or their babies or both. No time for even lunch (breakfast?? I work nights). I ended up staying after my shift ended to catch up on documenting. So needless to say I was not in the best of moods getting in the car to go home. God knew that and assisted me in choosing a CD that had the words that I really needed to hear:

This is my Father's world
And to my listening ears
All nature sings and round me rings
The music of the spheres
This is my Father's world
The birds their carols raise
The morning light, the lily white
Declare their Maker's praise.

This is my Father's world
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees of skies and seas
His hand the wonders wrought.

This is my Father's world
O let me ne'er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong
God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father's world
Why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King, let the Heavens ring,
God reigns, let the earth be glad!
