The singularity of a hospice environment stems from the fact that it hosts people of various hues and backgrounds, held together by a single common misfortune of their ill health. And this makes the hospice a melting point of a myriad of emotions. There's no room for neutrality or casual feelings within these white walls -you either feel it or you make yourself adopt a "been there, done that" attitude and layer your heart with steel.
Everytime i think of David, i think of 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
To my sisters who are facing challenging times now, i really understand how you feel. God's bible makes no promise that you will always feel loved, nor that circumstances will always make it obvious that you are loved. God simply promises that you are loved. No suffering or tragedy will ever separate you from God’s love.
A snap-shot in time proves nothing. Only eternity’s movies can adequately portray the infinitude of our Lord’s love for you.
