I was just thinking about how you are a doctor and must all the time have to treat people who are in pain of one kind or another. Your loving care provides healing but your patients have their own journeys they must take to get through the illness. Just like your kids have their journeys and all you can do is give that loving care.


I believe I will see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord with courage.
Be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord.
