You know, Billie, I actually do not remember that graphic. Old age is not for wimps. The graphic reminds me of all the dear saints of God whose hands I’ve held as they passed from this earthly realm. There is something healing about the human touch though. We are going to have a healing/anointing service Tuesday evening for a man who had a stroke and is having trouble recovering. Thanks for reminding me how much we depend on our fellow human beings for comfort.
When an elderly friend of mine was having Hospice care, one of her friends came to visit. She brought a wonderfully fragrant lotion with her, and pulled back the sheets off my friend’s feet. She gently massaged the lotion onto Val’s feet, praying, and quoting scripture. It was a very humbling experience to witness.
