Helpful while helpless

This week has had me at the Salmon Creek Hospital in the ICU unit on a daily basis. One of the men from our church family has been there since last Saturday. The prognosis for a long earthly stay is not good. Thankfully he is heaven bound. However, the family must deal with their own thoughts. I realize that I have NO control over upcoming events... thus, helpless. However, I can point the family to the one who loves them with an everlasting love... the one who does nothing without total righteousness... the one who is the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. Maybe in some small way I can thus be helpful...

I love you Papa. You've always been able to maintain a feeling of hope around you for those that don't know how to be strong. Thanks for being such a wonderful pastor and mentor to so many people. You can't hear it too much - thanks.
