His stench appalled me though I didn't show it. Inside me I thought, Jesus gave Himself for this person just like any other...I prayed, Lord help me in caring for this patient! I wiped his face with a washcloth, I helped him gargle with oral rinse, changed his gown, tucked him with toasty warm blankets and talked to him with great nursing care and respect. I felt good going home as if God told me I served Him well. The following day, my coworker told me that the follow up call to that patient was made. His comment was "I have never been treated very well as a human being." That made my day and told the Lord, "Thanks for helping me serve that patient very well." I never thought it was an opportunity when my manager told me to help out in ASU. Indeed, it was a great privilege for me to do so! And, it taught me to take heart in each moment! This one surely takes more weight than the financial rewards! Praise the Lord!
And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. Matthew 10:42 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Matthew 25:40
