In A Cozy Café….
one woman to another

+: I do business in oak
-: isn't that forbidden?
+: why? that's just wood, like all other
types of wood.
-: that is not just any wood, oak wood is
special wood, you cannot have the oak
trees cut down, you will receive a high
fine
+: well, come on, you mean it?
and what do you do for a living?
-: me? I wholesaler in doctors
+: that is not a product, is it? They are
people of flesh and blood
-: so what....?
I can do that, they are my own family
doctors in different specializations:
urology, my husband, anesthetist, my
youngest son
tropical doctor, my daughter-in-law,
biomedicist, my only brother, he also does
opthalmology,
I also have a few uncles who are all
specialists in the health sector
+: and what do you get for salary?
-: salary? !
I do it with love, I don't want a salary,
because I have a job myself
do with love
is free, but you will receive a heavy fine
if you have oak trees felled for your
timber business.
+: thank you for your advice, fortunately I
spoke to you today, because the workers are
already waiting for me
-: do you want one more Wrong Coffee?
+: no, thank you, I'll go soon, because I
have to choose another type of wood
-: good luck then
+: you too and thanks for the advice
-: no thanks and see you soon!

This was just another business doesn't always say you make money because when you do it with love you don't want money for it there are exceptions especially if you help your own family and happen to be all in the medical sector,
all blessings from God, for sure, think what studying means and especially specialized,
I know an acquaintance and her husband registered as a GP for 10 years.
Really?
Yes, really, because the wife sometimes said: if you have to study to be a doctor for so long, you don't have time anymore. In the same year he passed the final exam.
Well, if you have to take so long time to become a doctor, you can only become a general practitioner and no longer a specialist. Mine are done quickly every person,5 years for doctor and 3 more years for specialist, that's why I often say, God has given them those talents to help people, they love their job very much and enjoy working,
I can only keep thanking God....

To sit in a nice Cafe surrounded by nature, trees and flowers, with a beautiful view of the mountains and a river flowing with serenity.....would be heaven on earth! I wish, dear Sylvia, we are sitting together and drinking a hot cup of coffee (the right coffee - of course!) would it not be lovely? ! I am sure we will talk of all the mercies that God has bestowed on us. With much gratitude.......the new five stars for these lovely thoughts.
