a christian nurse's gift

[color=#33cc00]a nurse's gift to her patient, to serve, to reach, to pray, to be an example of what christ was.

[color=#33cc00]a~a christian nurse! how best to help others today?

c~called to serve the lord in a very special way.

h~having a heart to help the hurting one-the ill.

r~reaching out, giving so much more than just a pill.

i~ in prayer for those he daily entrusts to your care.

s~seeking his divine will to be a blessing there.

t~tenderly caring, as the great physician heals

i~ in empathy dealing with how your patient feels.

a~always striving to do more than duty demands.

n~nurses committed to the lord are his own hands,

[color=#33cc00]

n~nurturing the sick one skillfully back to health.

u~unselfishly serving him without thought of wealth,

r~realizing the blessedness of your giving

s~serving the saviour, dear nurse-what joyful living!

e~envision in heaven, his pleased salute "well done!"

s~smiling as you stand glowing before him-god's son.

[color=#33cc00]

g~greater riches than mere earthly money or fame

i~ is the timeless reward of nursing in his name.

f~forever knowing that your work is then complete. . .

t~there won't be one sick person in heaven to treat!

[color=#33cc00]i think society has painted a somewhat negative picture of what a nurse is and the meaning behind the profession. so, when i found this it was very refreshing to see something positive, in a negative world.

[color=#33cc00]i wasn't sure exactly where to put this, so it can be moved wherever need be. :) but i thought this was totally wonderful. :)
