Christian Living
I am a nurse, and as in the flow of life there is the fact that nurses do get sick -- they do die -- they do cry tears -- they do laugh in the moment of happiness and joy -- they do listen -- they do voice their thoughts -- they do dream -- they do aspire to better things -- they do have family problems and issues of health and soul. They are by far human with hopes and dreams as well as pain and joy...
I think sometimes those for whom we care as well as ourselves as care-givers forget that we are only human too and struggle and soar...
In my life recently my peers and all with whom I work have had a loss of one our fellow nurses. She was an extraordinary person with skills of the highest caliber and a full heart and a soul that smiled at the world in every way. She is and will be enormously missed. She will always live on within the hearts of all those she touched. The world has been a better place because she passed through...
Thank you God for the privilege of knowing this wonderful soul who gave far more than she ever took away...
There was an Angel among Us --
She now sits on high
Beyond the realm
Known to us --
Past the blue-blue sky...
She passed our way
And touched
Each of us
By God's design
And awaits
Our presence
Someday
When there is no
More earthly time...
She dreamed our dream
With us
And shared
The small and great --
And she will live
Forever
In our hearts
For God makes
NO
Mistake...
It is in His Divinity
That we share
Her memory --
And in the respite
Between the dawn
Of life
And the eve
Of eternity
We will await
The time
When we will
With her
Share infinity...
Fortune and what we know as wealth comes in many ways -- often it is in the gift of another and the sharing of the soul...
I would like to share a poem I wrote that speaks also to this wonderful woman's life and expresses the essence of her rare qualities that revealed the treasured soul which we were blessed to know...
Love's Way...
In the reality
Of life
As it goes
From day to day
There is often an opportunity
For each of us
To live beyond
Ourselves
To give
Rather than take away...
Love's way
Provides
That we
Can see
The larger plan
Designed
For each of us
By Our Heavenly Father's
Hand...
It is not
In the keeping of anything
For selfish gain
That we
Find favor
In Our Father's eye
For the result
Of harboring for self
Is
Inevitable pain...
Love's Way
Provides for all
The opportunity
To be within God's will
And
In our daily walk
His plan to fulfill...
Seek not your own
Look beyond yourself
And
There you may discover
That to live beyond yourself
Will bring to you
Joy yet unknown...
There will come
A time
When all sought
For selfish gain
Will come into the light --
It is then
That you will discover
That
Love's Way
Was right...
