I thank my maker

Once I got sick, not life threatening but seriously ill and much painful. During that time, a friend came to visit me and ask cordially how I am feeling, I told him I am getting better everyday and to keep up the conversation, I asked him how was his day, He said, "I watched three movies today and played many games of TT(table tennis), but I feel bored," he take a look at me and continued, "But you must feel pretty much more bored lying down own your bed all day.

I gave him a surprised look, "Me bored", I exclaimed, "How can I feel boredom when ever breath I take is a fight with death, ever moment is a struggle to keep alive"

He was surprised. And after some moments, he went to play TT again. What I didn't told him is that, in between all the fighting and struggling, I thank my maker, that in the midst of judgement, he has remembered mercy and kept me alive so far.
