An Old Man And A Empty Hospital Room

An old man sat in an empty hospital room and pondered whether he had just said goodbye to the love of his life for the very last time. This has become routine in many ways over the years, but this time, it seemed different.

However, as he pondered more, something became clear about what the difference was this time. The difference was that the last song and video she had seen were of children singing. That in itself gave the old man a sense of peace that he had never felt before it and for that the old man meant everything.

The old man suspects that when those involved were working so hard on this masterpiece just a few days later it would have such a profound impact on an old man and the love of his life.

Giving Thanks In Tough Times

Sometimes, you feel your whole world is crashing down around you. For believers in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, that is when we should sing his praises because, with his loving grace, your world would be crashing down around you!

However, it’s also a time to be wary of Satan because he will always attack when you let your guard down. He’s like one of those ax murders in a horror film just waiting for the right time to pounce!

Psalm 42; 11

Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior and my God!

1 Peter 2:19

For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God.

So believers give thanks because it is through his power that you have the strength to get through the toughest of times.

All Alone But Not Really

As I sit in our home it seems too large and empty for the one that makes it our home is still in the hospital fighting with every fiber of her being. As we spent time together this afternoon we shared memories of days gone by and the real seriousness of the issues we face regarding her health. I was able to show her a performance from the children at church this past Sunday and that made her so happy!

However, as another night falls upon us the tears will surely flow tonight for me I know that although I am physically alone in reality I am not alone at all.

You see, The Lord Jesus Christ is watching over me every single second.

Pacing Yourself Through Hard Times

One of the things that many people feel guilty about is leaving the bedside of a loved one who is in the hospital. I understand that there are times when it is necessary and by all means people should do that during those times.

Otherwise, you are not doing your loved one or yourself any good by just sitting there hour after hour and day after day. I know for me leaving my wife’s bedside is so hard to do and it has taken me time to even come close to the idea.

However, if you don’t learn to pace yourself, you will not be good to anyone. That doesn’t mean your loved one is not in your heart and mind constantly.
