What a unique situation we were put in yesterday! Some of our best friends have been camping out in the Critical Care Waiting Room for well into 3 weeks with hopes that the patient, her father, will recover and come home soon. Early yesterday morning, my father-in-law was also placed in Critical Care and we, too, are now making a "nest" in the graciously prepared room for families of Critical Care patients.
What opportunities I saw!! So much compassion and love were displayed to each of us!! A very special man comes daily to pray with each one of the families and comfort them. He feels this is what God would have him to do. Yes, he works a job and has a family. But immediately after work he makes his way to that special waiting room and ministers hope.
Bonding time and weariness seem to go hand-in-hand here and a sense of the unknown looms over every one's head. But, as we experienced, the presence of our awesome God shatters fear and gives peace.
We don't know how long our visits to this hospital will continue, but we do know that with every day...every step...He is guiding and directing our way!
