There is a sentence in this Heavenletter I cannot understand.

"Oh, sure, certainly, older people have become good sports, pushed along in wheel chairs, facing a blank wall or the TV like good guests."

Can you help me?

Heavenletter #1027 Make a Beautiful World Out There

You give so much happiness all way round for being here and translating German Heavenletters. This is a great thing you are doing, and we all welcome your questions.

It is an interesting astute question you ask. I believe that God is being a little ironic here, or, as it might be said in English -- tongue in cheek.

Here’s how I see it:

The best a person can be who is elderly, frail, and confined to a wheelchair – the best he can be is a good sport. It is not his first choice to be frail and confined etc. Not his willing choice at all (although there could be exceptions.) Maybe he is pushed in front of the TV or pushed to a blank wall. Hopefully, he could look out a window.

I see God as being sympathetic to elderly and others who are dependent upon caretakers.

So those who are in the situation of being dependent in this way take it in good grace like a good guest. A good host might serve them a meal that is not to his liking, but he is a good guest and smiles and says thank you.

Do those lines make more sense now?

You know, if you have a question, odds are that someone else does as well.

God bless you, Axel. A thousand blessings.
