Memorial Day Kiss

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

I came in to our hospice today just after church service.  My wife was working today, so instead of sitting around the house, I come in to volunteer.  That’s a much better way to spend my time!

I walk in and make some coffee, do a little clean up and walk to the nurse’s station.  The nurses ask me to sit with this patient down the hall.  I walk down the hall and enter the room.

In bed is a little old lady resting quietly.  So, I announce my presence, so that she knows that she is no longer alone.  I gently sit down on the couch next to the bed.  I am there for about an hour.  Just sitting there and making my presence known for the patient.

Then a couple of elderly ladies walk into the room.  They are pleasantly surprised that I am there keeping their mother company.  We have a wonderful and loving conversation for about fifteen minutes.

  As I turn to leave the room, one of the ladies take my hand. It was a bit awkward for me and a surprise!  She smiles at me and gently kisses my hand!  She then says, “Thank you Father!”

She thinks that I am a priest!  I try to tell her that I am not ordained into any denomination.  She just smiles and tells me that I am her priest today!  I just smile and told her, “thank you.”  I let her have her joyful moment.  And it was a joyful moment for me as well.

The Bible says that all Christians are priests of the Most High.  I guess that that was my priestly moment!  Being a priest or not, it is always wonderful to do a good deed for another.  This lady was happy and I was blessed forever!

Have you ever been taken for someone else?  Can you tell me about it in the comments section?
