And I will send showers,

showers of blessings,

which will come just when they are needed.

– Ezekiel 34:26

The fact that we are called upon to endure trials shows that the Lord Jesus sees in us something

precious which He desires to develop. We are blessed and highly favored. It’s our blessing of thorns.

Let’s wear our crown gracefully.

Isaiah 41:10 … “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.

Do not be dismayed, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you.

I will help you.

I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.”

DON’T WORRY …

BE HAPPY …

G-O-D B-L-E-S-S

Smile

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you’ll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow

When thou passest through the waters,

I will be with thee;

and through the rivers,

they shall not overflow thee:

when thou walkest through the fire,

thou shalt not be burned;

neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

– Isaiah 43:2

God’s word offers medicine for every one of our situations. We will encounter scorching ‘fires’ and turbulent ‘rivers’, but if we allow God to walk with us we will not be scorched by the fires nor drowned by the angry seas. We serve a God who says, “I will be with Thee”.

Doeth Good Like Medicine

<><><><><><><><><>

“A Merry heart doeth good like medicine.”

– Prov. 17:22 (KJV)

Hospital volunteers do no clinical work. Volunteers have no physically therapeutic treatment of offer. They dispense no medicine. But we cannot deny that they demonstrate the merry hearts as spoken of in Proverbs 17:22. At the core of volunteering is the fervent desire to “doeth good like medicine.” Because I am privileged to experience a daily confirmation of the good done by volunteers, it is very difficult to choose one vignette or narrow the choices of stories to one.

It was Christmas time and our elderly visitor was back to see her husband in the Intensive Care Unit. We had watched her daily visits, and could tell she was becoming more distant and distraught with each day. She was rather frail and unsteady on her feet, but refused any offer of assistance.

Volunteer John approached her on her way out, to offer her a ride back to her car in our shuttle as it was cold. She accepted reluctantly, almost as if in resignation. While helping her into the shuttle,
