Saturday's Snippet

Luke 10:34

And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

Good morning.... Sweet Saturday morning to you all!

After visiting with my Dad in the nursing home yesterday, I decided to dedicate today's spoonful of thankfulness to the medical profession. Whether doctor, nurse, nurse's assistant, dietician, orderly, etc., I want to give thanks for all of them. I must confess that spending time around the aged and stroke victims leaves me feeling awful. I do not like what I see when I visit Dad. My desire has never been to serve as a nurse because I cannot seem to handle well the suffering of others.

What would life be like if we had no medical professionals? If we were hurting, yet there was no one to turn to that knew how to help our pain? Thanks be to God for giving certain individuals the knowledge to pursue the higher call to serve others in the medical field. I am grateful for them.

Which turns my thoughts toward the Great Physician - the One who knows us by name, created us for HIS glory - and who knows about all our pain, whether it's physical, emotional, or spiritual. He knows. He cares, and He heals. Blessed be the Lord, our God forevermore!!

A sweet song from years back comes to mind right now:

I'm So Glad He Found Me

by The Hinsons

Verse One

I was on the mountain

Wandering from the fountain

When I heard my Savior calling me

He said, Come to me relenting,

Of your sins repenting

And I will bring you out where you can see

Chorus

And I'm so glad He found me

In love He bound me

He put His arms around me

Then He led me to the shelter

And now I'm one of His own

And oh, the joy of knowing

With heart a glowing

Some day I'm going

To my home, my home in glory

And walk the streets paved with gold

Verse Two

I will love Him ever

Stray from Him no never

For He's the dearest Friend I ever knew

And when I see Him yonder

My love will then grow fonder

In that happy land beyond the blue

If you work in the medical field, Thank You, for your service to others. If you know a medical professional, give them a big Thank You today for all they do to help those in need.

God bless your Saturday, making it sweet! I hope to see you tomorrow with another spoonful of thankfulness!
