Good Morning Everyone,
It's Monday, starting another new week. Often we see a situation that looks to be one thing, but if we had taken the slightest interest to ask questions, we would find out that things are entirely the opposite. Jumping to conclusions have bitten more than one good man in the butt, or woman as the case may be. Take the Titans and the Bills game, it looked like it was all over for the Titans??
Were things as they seemed????
Todays Story:
Enduring Labor
The nurse approached him, smiling. "The labor is going
great," she said. "Wouldn't you like to come in?"
"Oh, no." The man shook his head.
The nurse returned to the mother's side, and the labor
progressed smoothly. As the birth neared, the nurse returned
to the man, now pacing frantically in the hall.
"She's doing so well," she assured him. "Wouldn't you like to at least come in and see her?"
The man seemed to hesitate slightly, then shook his
head again. "No, no, I couldn't do that." He jingled car
keys in his sweaty palm and resumed his pacing.
The nurse went back into the room and coached Mom's
valiant efforts in pushing the baby into the world. As the
baby's head began to exit the birth canal, the nurse raced
to the hall, grabbed the man by his elbow, and dragged him
to the bedside saying, "You have got to see this!"
At that very moment, the baby boy was born and placed
on the tummy of the mother whose radiant smile shone through
her tears. The man began to cry openly. Turning to the
nurse, he sobbed. "You were right! This is the greatest
moment in my life!"
By now, the nurse, too, was tearful. She put her arm
around him, and he rested his head on her shoulder. She
soothed, "No one should miss the birth of their son."
"This isn't my son," the man blubbered. "This isn't
even my wife. I've never seen her before in my life. I was
just bringing the car keys to my buddy across the hall!"
