Fwd: thoughts

> I am on my way to apartment. She is coming down hall pushing her cart with trash. She stops me with questions. When can a Power of Attorney(has trouble saying the words.) take over? I told her not until doctor declares you incompetent. Her response indicates that has already been done. She doesn't know whether to trust her children. She has strained relationship with some of her children. I listened. Encouraged her as she does best she can and trust her family in this very frightening time in her life. I am partially informed about her situation via community gossip. She thanked me and went on to the trash room. — The thoughts that flowed as I came to my apartment is opportunities for service, ministry, happen unexpected. Be available and mainly listen and affirm the person. It is well to hold fast the confidence that God's love never forsakes us. Thanks family for love, understanding and care.
