A Note From Chaplain Jeanne

Patient said he talked with God every evening and saw Him when the TV was off on the screen. He said God had delivered him from alcohol and smoking. He did have some foul language when he said he wanted out of the “d” bed. I guess only God knows our hearts; it is not for me to judge. He did not like pastors getting paid a large salary and said he was removed from his church. He did not share the reason why. I just asked him how he felt about that move.

It has been a pleasure today to pray with people who can hardly respond to me. I do not know what is going on in their minds when I prayer, but do NOT underestimate the power of God, at all. He works in mysterious ways beyond our comprehension. I praise Him.

Talked with a staff member who seemed to have the need to share. She said she was not buying as much Christmas this year, and had cut back. She used her plan with the hospital to give her kids money only her youngest (16) wanted gifts. She shared how one year she bought one of her kids a pool table and they used it as a laundry table. She was not going to do that again. She expressed how she hated how her mother was so hard to please. One year, she took her some flowers that she thought were lovely and all she said was, "I'd rather have had roses." Some people are ungrateful!
