Henderson and I were waiting in the Walgreen's drive thru Tuesday night. There were 3 cars in each of the 2 lanes. Apparently all of the people before us had major prescription issues - we were in line for over 30 minutes.
I was starting to get impatient and fantasizing about honking and telling people that if they needed exotic drugs compounded, perhaps they should get out of the car and walk IN to the pharmacy. Much like the folks in the drive thru lane at the bank that apparently are re-financing their mortgage through the drive-thru. (Sorry, rant over.)
Then I started looking at the people in these vehicles. Everyone one of them was either sick with something or was there for a friend or family member - someone important to them - picking up a prescription. I felt the urge to pray for these cars in front of me, that God would bring a healing peace to all of these people in whatever trials they were facing that day.
I had a funny thought - one that may be worth sharing - or maybe one of those weird, embarrassing thoughts I should keep to myself (you can be the judge.)
Aren't we all ailing everyday from something. Maybe not a physical, medical thing. But medical or not, we are all in need of RX everyday, are we not? Again, maybe not a chemical, engineered RX, but a RX from our loving God. Or maybe a gentle nudge. Or maybe a stern reminder to right a wrong. Maybe a reassurance that we are good enough. Whatever that RX is, we ALL need it.
AND...aren't we lucky that we don't have to sit in a drive-thru to get it? We can stop our daily lives and talk directly to The Pharmacist through prayer, at any time of the day or night and get our RX. His pharmacy is so good, we don't even have to know our 9-digit prescription code to get a refill - He already knows it. And forget having to have your doctor fax the order & the headache of waiting days on end for the pharmacy and doctor to communicate; His fax line is always open & you'll never get a busy signal.
Soon enough, I got our refill of meds, paid & drove home feeling incredibly blessed to be loved and listened to by my Awesome God.
