Light enters into darkness
An older woman is homebound because of a bad hip. She sits in her rocking chair, gazing out the window at the various signs of life in her neighborhood. Parents and children are riding their bikes together. The neighbor is working on his garden. Another woman is climbing up a tree to fix a birdhouse. This older woman sits and ponders whether getting a hip replacement is worth the stress of facing surgery, therapy, medications, and visits to the doctor. She prays to God for guidance.
