As a patient in the
hospital, you live according to a new set of rules.
Time is marked by visits from family and friends, medication administration, IV machines beeping and humming, Doctor’s visits and vital signs.
Yet in this mechanized world there is a heartbeat of Heaven. I heard it during my stay. I felt God’s care and love through each staff member, loving friend and my precious family as they spoke to me, touched me gently, informed me of tests and procedures, comforted me and listened.

Another nugget of truth
during this time:
During our difficult times,
Our unpleasant experiences,
He stands beside us
He is in –
A touch during pain
A hand to hold during a scary procedure
A kind word
A helping hand
A giving spirit
A phone call with encouraging words
A smile
An ear and time to listen
All through the Bible we
read of God using others to fulfill His purpose and will. How wonderful it is
to know that we can not only be touched by God through others but can be used
of God to reach out to do His bidding and show in a real and tangible way His
love and tenderness in times of need.
