Why do some folks, like my
Friend, face so many of them?
During one of her many stints in
The hospital, when Lori was
At a low point, both physically and
Emotionally, a new nurse
Entered her room.
As she attended to the medical
Equipment she began to hum a
Melody.
"I know that song," Lori told her,
And together the angel nurse and
My friend sang, "It is well with my
Soul."
The timely words gave Lori the
Courage to suffer on.
The song was the first of many for
The pair during Lori's lengthy
Hospitalization.
My friend still endures ongoing
Pain, dialysis and ports that
Just won't hold up.
"I won't get better." she shared with
Our Bible study gals, "but I know I'm
Never alone. I'm grateful."
Lori's tender story pointed out to us the
Power of a song,
The power of an encouraging word and
The power of a sensitive nurse.
