Met a gentleman who was a church musician and in need of some emotional support. His pastor had came quite some distance to visit him. He has trouble with his lungs and cannot sing any longer. He has a great desire to make a recording of his music for his family. This patient was so glad that a chaplain came to visit him. He knows that he needs to take better care of himself in the future.
Another couple was having difficulty in accepting a caner diagnosis. The patient (wife) did not want to go for this kind of treatment. She wanted to live longer and continue her work in the church. She was a great worker in leading others in compassionate work in the church - a card ministry. She did not want it to fall by the wayside. She felt she had affected so many lives and touched them in great ways. I believe her! That is so sad, especially when we have those in the church who will not work hardly at all. They are too busy with other priorities. God calls all of us to work for him and build His Kinggom.
A pastor from local town who was a patient thought it would be good for the Chaplain to attend the minister's meetings at the hospital. He thinks it would be good for another lady to be present for the other women who attend, and invited me to attend. He added that the Chaplain was better looking than her boss. Better not let him know that.:)
Talked to another minister who was getting ready to go into surgery. He had a diagnosis that did not appear good .; He preaches and has support of other pastors.He wanted to talk away from his family and then expressed his concern and that he wants to live for his two children until they are taken care of. We had prayer together for him and he commented I had covered it all upon ending the prayer.
