So let me tell y’all a little story about God.
My favorite thing to do at work is sit down with one of the residents and read the Bible to him and then we pray and we both say amen.
I’m getting ready to leave at 3 o’clock in the morning because somebody had called in so I stayed late. and I walked in his room to tell him I loved him and I’d see him tomorrow like I do every night before I leave (And he always responds “ok”)( before I got to his room I thought to myself man we been so busy tonight I didn’t get to read to him today. Oh well I guess I can do it tomorrow, but I had this feeling inside that I shouldn’t put it off.) disregarding the thought that I had. I proceeded to his room. I went in and told him “I love you. I’ll see you tomorrow.“ he said “ok”. I walked out of the room to go get my things and I got maybe 5 or 10 steps away and I heard him yelling. I went back to his room and I asked him “hey why are you yelling baby cakes”? He said “I was yelling for you”. I said “oh yeah, what was you yelling for me for”? he said “aren’t you going to read to me today”? My eyes immediately swelled up with tears. I told him “absolutely ! hold on. I’ll go get my Bible”. I grabbed my Bible and I read to him for 10 or 15 minutes. We prayed we both said amen and I looked at him and said (because I had already told him 20 minutes prior (( “I love you I’ll see you tomorrow”)), I said “OK I’ll be back in a couple hours” and went to walk away. He grabbed my hand and said to me “I love you. See you soon thank you”.
That might not mean much to many people, but to me it meant the world! God was reminding me to never be too busy to talk about him or read his word. And my resident showed me just how beautiful telling somebody they love you really is. 🩷🩷🩷🙌🏼
I pray the Lord lets you know that in the very short time I’ve known you; you have helped me more than I ever could have helped you Mr. King. I am so blessed to have known you. Rest in Heavenly peace Jay, love yuh my friend
