Are you suffering from digital distraction?

“You need a new pacemaker and another ablation.” I have heard this before.  Last month, I had my 5th pacemaker replacement and next month I will have my 3rd ablation. My heart keeps me very grounded in the reality that life is tenuous.  Every minute, hour and day count. Before every surgery I am forced to ask myself, “Is this it? Have I done everything there is for me to do?”  And when I wake up, post surgery, my first thought without fail is, “I guess not.  I wonder what I have left to do?”  There is always a reason for life because God always has a plan.  And that plan always includes people.

I am thankful for the constant reminder that I am here for a reason.  I think many people have forgotten why they are here.  They think they are here for their phone instead of their husband, child, or neighbor.  Phones are a constant digital distraction. We all need to be reminded, some of us more than others. My surgeries are my reminder (I needed obviously needed a big one). Maybe the quote above and the video it was taken from below, is your reminder (a lot less painful than surgery)!
