At the end of this physical life we are totally dependent on others for our care. Hospice is a growing industry that takes into account the mind, body and soul of the person. It is wise to create an end of life plan!

I would encourage everyone to spend an hour or two filling out their end of life directives.

Being called by God to sit with a person who's journey on this side of the veil is coming to an end has been an honor and a privilege.

The LORD Is Thy Keeper

121 I lift up my eyes to the mountains- where does my help come from? 2 My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. 3  He will not let your foot slip- he who watches over you will not slumber; 4  indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 5  The Lord watches over you- the Lord is your shade at your right hand; 6  the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. 7  The Lord will keep you from all harm- he will watch over your life; 8  the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

As I prayed this psalm with my soul friend this week she sat up took her last breath and went on a very peace filled journey to her new home.  I felt graced and blessed by God to be called to this moment.

This image greets me everytime  I enter the facility, it is created by the words of the New Testament . I show this to everyone because I am amazed when people are inspired to create these pieces of art that is such a blessing. It is Jesus reaching out to bless and he is surrounded by angels. What a beautiful image for those who feel so alone and forgotten.

When abiding with a soul, music and prayer brings peace and calm to a time that can be difficult. We have a spiritual toolbox filled with cd’s, prayer books, a bible , and a book on what to expect when a loved one is dying.  We also bring a boombox  and lamp.  A warm blanket.

Being able to reassure people of the love of God the Father is valuable in my ministry on the margins. I never assume anything about anyone. I allow them to lead where we go. Sometimes I have sat in silence only....
