Nursing
by
Barbara Philbrook
Nursing is
a profession which requires tenderness and love,
a special kind of caring issued from God above.
A strong
dedication to care for those who need a helpful hand,
a sympathetic heart that tends to understand.
An ability
to focus on the need of one who might not be in a very
friendly mood,
an awareness that the body requires more to mend than the
nourishment of food.
The
strength to withstand the anger and fear of one not in
the best of health,
and an appreciation that our rewards in life are not
always those of wealth.
The
rewards that we receive when we are finally home with our
Lord,
are often given for the deeds we do for which no one ever
will applaud.
The
difference you make in lives may not be recorded daily on
your time sheet,
but they will be acclaimed in heaven when your
loving Savior you meet.
May God be
with you in each day's endeavor,
and may we meet at the gates of Heaven where God
intends us to be with him for ever.
May God
watch over each of you in a very special way,
is the thing that I ask for as I bow my head to pray.
