Ed will be the first to tell you that I am not a nurse. I cannot tell you what he says for me to do if he gets sick but I promise I'll do my best if he ever does get sick. Today I am being a nurse. My "sister" had surgery today and since her daughter has four children and works almost full time, I was elected to be the caretaker. Getting up at 3:30 am is not normal for me but I woke up and drove to Jackson to be here for her surgery. The waiting was the longest part. Surgery took less than one hour. She's been a good patient and I've tried to do my best. I've fixed ice and water, gone after food, fluffed pillows and answered questions by the score for people who can't read charts! The doctor said she did wonderfully well and should be going home tomorrow. She will be glad to get to her own bed since she can't seem to get comfortable in the one the hospital has provided. She doesn't seem to realize she has an incision in her lower back that is making her uncomfortable.
My point in telling you this is that I am out of my comfort zone. I don't feel qualified or capable. My "sister" needed me. This was my gift to her--my time, my prayers and my care when she needed me. She would do the same for me.
1 Corinthians 12:4
God's various gifts are handed out everywhere; but they all originate in God's Spirit. God's various ministries are carried out everywhere; but they all originate in God's Spirit.
