Grandfather's Secret
written by: Hart Dowd
Grandfather’s
Secret
“He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” Matthew 11:15.
Grandfather had trouble hearing for a number of years. As the problem became worse, he went to the doctor. The doctor examined him, and with difficulty, he assured him that he thought he had the solution. He fitted him for a set of hearing aids. “Now this should make you able to hear 100%,” he told him. “Come back in a month and let me know how you’re doing.” Grandfather left the office smiling.
A month later, as the doctor had suggested, he went back to the doctor for a confirmation check up. The doctor said to him, “Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again.”
Grandfather smiled, “Oh, I haven’t told them yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I’ve changed my will three times!”
***********************************************
A Compensation
A doctor was visiting a patient who is blind, as well as having many more health problems. He sat with her awhile; then wrote out prescriptions for her medicines. Putting away his pen and closing his little black bag, he bid her a cheery farewell, and rose to go.
Just as he reached the door, his patient called out to him, “Doctor,” she said, “I think you’ve dropped your handkerchief.”
The doctor turned, and sure enough, there was his handkerchief on the carpet. “Thank you,” he said, and proceeded out the door. Then it struck him. “She’s blind! How could she possibly know I had dropped my hankie?” He turned back to her, amazed. He knew she couldn’t have fooled him into thinking she was blind when she wasn’t. He had been her doctor for many years, and he KNEW she was blind. “Martha,” he said, “how did you know I had dropped my hankie?”
Martha smiled. “I heard it fall,” she replied.
The doctor pondered this for awhile, but then the truth struck him: She has lost one sense, and another one becomes more keen. Martha can’t see, but her hearing has become so sensitive that she can hear the softest of sounds, even a handkerchief falling on a carpet.
........When we lose something, whether it is hope, health, or even a loved one, there is always something, some compensation, that makes it easier to bear. Isn’t God wonderful!
