Hope

Hope for the hopeless. That's what I kept hearing in my spirit as I spent time with the Lord this morning.

For the last 2 weeks, my dad has been in the hospital in very serious condition. They stabilized him in the ER and from there they admitted him to a room in the hospital. Things were serious enough for the doctor to say that I needed to contact my family. There didn't to appear to be much hope.

As the days went by, my dad made little improvement. I decided to keep myself busy by painting some encouragement cards. I noticed while at the hospital that there was a specific waiting room for were in the Critical Care unit. I felt so much compassion for the families who were gathered around waiting. You could see that they were hanging on to hope just like I was.

I decided to distribute my hand-painted cards in there. I simply sprinkled them around the tables where people would normally reach for a magazine. Each day I'd peek in to see how many were taken. I loved the idea that people were being comforted in a small way.

As the days went by, my dad made small improvements. He was finally discharged yesterday and we are so grateful.
