Lord, I Love You!
As a Chaplain, I try not to visit patients too early. I figure most people need one or two cups of coffee before having to look at me!
I arrived around noon at a patient’s house the other day. The lady I came to see was still asleep. Her grandson woke her up and gave her a bottle of coke.
She smiled and said her grandson always brings her a coke in the morning. This was her coffee, she joked.
She began talking about good memories of how she had worked for the Lord, teaching Sunday school. Even though she was just waking up, she radiated the joy of the Lord. We had a great visit.
I prayed and we said our goodbyes. As I was about to open the door to leave, I heard her talking to God.
“Lord, I’m sorry I didn’t say good morning to you when I woke up. I always say good morning to you. I love You Lord.”
This tugged at my heart strings. It reminded me that sometimes get in a hurry, and forget to really pray.
Sure, I say the words, but they don’t sound or feel as heartfelt as “Good morning Lord! I love You.”
