A Life Lesson

·

,

Hello,

It’s been a while since have posted on this website, but here we are now. I guess life’s commitments and everything made me very busy. Which is not ideal at all, but keep praying for me. I have more life responsibility now, which is definitely not an excuse not to post regularly. I will try to post more regularly now on. Keep me in your prayers. Prayers will take me a long way. With that being said, here we are now. This blog is about something that I experienced in my life. On this very day at work after thinking about everything, I began to look differently on how people react to situations in their lives. I work as a registered nurse in a hospital. I was on my tea break on a shift. ( usually take my break in the hospital’s main reception area. I do this to talk to people, old friends, and people watch in general. On this day on my break, I observed one of the hospital volunteer showing an older couple the way to the ward where their family member was. I observed the woman to be very rude to the volunteer. I thought to myself “why would you not be nice to someone trying to help you?” The volunteer took them to the ward they wanted. I saw the volunteer on his way back and wanted to apologise to him, but I held back and minded my own business. My fifteen break ended. I went back to my ward. This was around 10AM in the morning. I continued on with my shift and around 12pm, I was approached by a nurse to check some medications for a palliated patient she was looking after. These medication required two nurses to dispense it from the medication and inject it to the patients medication line. When we were taking out the medication from the medication room, I asked the other nurse about the patient. The nurse told me that the patient was 47 years old and had been diagnosed with end stage cancer and he is palliated for this reason. We got the medication out, prepared it and approached the patient’s room. Because the patient was palliated, which means he was dying, there were a lot of family members around in his room. There is usually family around to spend time with their loved ones on during their last moments. As we got into the patients room, there were a lot of family members around. As I got in, guess what?, the woman I saw on my tea break being rude to the volunteer was in the room. She was the patient’s mom. I took everything I thought of her back straight away. I said to myself “the agony to see your child dying will make anyone react to anything” I said again to myself again “a mother knowing her son is dying will react to anything”. I had the most compassion for her. I could not look at her face. She was sobbing sitting next to her son on his dying bed. I was very quick to pass my judgement on my break. She was rude to the volunteer, but she literally had a son dying. Who am I to think she was rude? Who am I? I will probably do worse. To see a child you gave birth to, saw on his milestones of life and now you are sitting next to him in his last moments of life. The pain, I will never comprehend. Again, this is a lesson for us. We should not be judging as Christians in the sense that we try to put ourselves on a moral upper ground. We should should not judge and act like we are better than other. We are all sinners and in need of a saviour. “Jesus Christ” It is a blessing to be saved from being a sinner. Easy and free of charge. Call on Jesus, acknowledge your sins, acknowldge that you are not a good person who can save your self from your sins. Call on Jesus Christ to save you. Jesus Saves.

Thanks for reading and KEEP THE FAITH STRONG!!!

Matthew 7: 1-6: 1Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye. 6Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

John 3:16: 16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Ephesians 2:8-9:  8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Colossians 1:13-14: 13Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

Romans 5:8: 8But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Acts 2:38: 28Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
