This evening seemed to be toward encouragement for the Chaplain. I met one lady who was so positive. She said my smile lit up the whole room. She was so energetic and was ready to go home waiting for a ride. She said the Chaplain was young and pretty. (Maybe she was somewhat overly positive).
Another patient who was in critical care, told me to mind God no matter what people say. She said He would open the door for me and nothing would stop it. She said she had the gift of discernment and she seemed to me to have the gift of healing. She attended a nondenominational church, but was unable to go like she used to due to her health at this time. She shared various stories (of which I choose not to repeat) of things that had come her way that seemed providential and most unusual. Different events that led certain people to her whom how God used her to help them. She felt she had entertained an angel once. Her plan was to write a book and she wanted my name, address, and phone number to send me her book when she completed it. She did not think she would publish it. Unusual visit!
One patient whom I visited said he would speak in tongues when I offered to pray with him. I then suggested "The Lord's Prayer". I didn't hear any tongues with the prayer.
I am taking time to study, pray, and rest during this time here on call. It has not been too busy. I have had a couple codes (where the heart stops beating). Sometimes, it depends on the family and patient on how this type of situation is treated.
I also just put on a big pot of homemade potato soup to simmer now that I am home.
