Met a man and his wife today who said he was a Children’s Pastor. He seemed to be looking for a job; although, he is presently working as a Children’s Director for a Methodist Church. He said he was not Methodist. He has also worked for a Church of God. He told me that they just got a new Music Director who was a Nazarene. That was interesting! I happen to know the individual when he gave me their name. He was really excited, I could tell, about working with children. He loves it! I found the visit informative.
Another man sat up in his bed and wanted to talk. He seemed very glad to hear that I
was a chaplain. He shared about himself and his salvation experience. Due to his eyesight getting bad he cannot drive any longer to attend church. He talked for a long time and I cannot even remember all he said. I had prayer for him and strangely enough he wanted to pray for me. That rarely happens to me, but not sure how to take it. Now that sounds crazy; doesn’t it?
I feel it is an honor to give spiritual pastoral care to these patients. It is also good at the nursing home when the residents share how enjoyable the sermon was or the keyboard playing. I guess all I can do is allow God to use me as He wants to when He wants to and make the most of it. If we can be a blessing to others what is any better?
