There's a lady in the nursing home, Miss Elizabeth. She is such a sweet person. She's real sick right now, and it really isn't looking that favorable that she will we with us much longer.
She has hearing problems and wears a hearing aid. Her hearing aid went out a couple of months ago, so the nursing home gave her another one that was in the home, until hers could be fixed. Every day she'd come to the Bible study, sitting just as close to me as she could, so she would be able to somewhat hear me. Poor dear person as she was, couldn't hear much of anything that was being said. But she kept coming every day. She didn't want to disapoint me or the other people in the group by not being there.
Well now, that dear old soul is laying in bed all day, hardly able to move. I visited her the other day. tears spring to my eyes as she looked at me and smiled the sweetest smile on this earth. She mumbles some words that I couldn't understand. But somewhere in my heart I feel she was trying to say, I love you. I hugged her before I left as I did every day before. And as I hugged her I realized it may be the last time I would. I really love the woman. Even as I write this tears are filling my eyes. I pray that God will give her comfort. And I pray that she will not suffer.
You know I can already see her in my minds eye, after her passing, her walking the streets of Heaven with Jesus. His arm around her saying, well done My good and faithful servant. I hope each of you will say a prayer for this wonderful saint of God. Just knowing her has blessed me so very much.
Until next time God bless.
