Yesterday I was in the hospital, not for myself but to assist someone. Not that I made any special effort or anything to assist the person, but I merely behaved and treated the other as if she was perfectly fine.
Just the usual chat. Normal everyday topics. Nothing to remind her about the ongoing treatment that necessitated her presence in the hospital the whole day.
I think the best part was to listen to the other. Just plain listening. Not that I was expected to give any grand remedies or responses, but a simple outpouring - non-judgemental and confidential.
In short, another day of ministry!
