THE HAND OF GOD
by Lewis E. Thomas I befriended an old woman at a Nursing Home Facility Though she was 96 years old she still had great ability! Her mind was still as sharp as a tack! She had a memory of the past that was soundly intact. I often talked with her about things she had on her mind I enjoyed hearing this wise and gentle old lady unwind! She complained of being bored with nothing to do! Her options for entertainment at the facility were very few! She told me one day that only one thing kept her going! What would that be I asked with no way of knowing. She smiled and said, "You are the HIGH POINT of my day!" "You are the answer to a prayer that I used to pray." She said, "I asked God to send me someone to talk to!" She said,"God answered my prayer when He sent you!" I did not realize that simply sharing of my time Would mean so much to the old woman in this rhyme! Remember Matthew 25:45 on that path you trod! And look for ways to be used as "The Hand of God!"
