Hello again!
It is amazing how God puts you where he needs you most. He knows the exact timing and is never late for any appointments. I visited a special lady this week who when I walked in to the room asked me if I would pray the “Sinner’s Prayer”. Of course, I did. She was facing a serious surgery and said she would go to hell if she did not make it through the surgery. I led her through this prayer. She said she felt better. God knows the heart!
Another patient who had no legs told me he had lost his faith and asked me if I would read the Bible to him about something encouraging. Since I did not have a Bible with me, I asked if it would be ok if I quoted some Scripture. I quoted Psalms 23 and Psalms 121 along with a verse in Isaiah. I shared with him, how God used Psalms 121 to help me in times of turmoil. Later, I returned and placed some literature along with a Bible near his head (he was asleep). Thank God for those precious moments.
A patient and her family were in great distress recently due to losing their daughter in a car accident. They had stopped by an accident while out driving, and heard a call for help. The dad got out pulling a victim from a burning car and it was his daughter. He had no idea. His memory has been plagued with this scenario replayed in his mind. He could not understand why God would allow her to go this way. I shared some thought and had prayer which he seemed more relaxed. May God continue to be a comfort to this family.
One patient was watching “Fox” news and said it was the only one that gave the correct news. He said he was a democrat and that he did not think we were in good hands at this time. May God have mercy on our country and bless us although we do not deserve it.
Received a call for a patient who had just heard she had cancer and was very distressed. She asked if she could hold my hand. She conveyed to me she had been married 6 months and felt so sorry for her husband. He had lost his first wife to childbirth and second to drugs. She was so sad that she had not time to spend with her new husband like she wanted to. I sang her a couple songs. She thought it was beautiful and said God gave you a gift for others. What a special compliment!
