Trials and Tribulations

Hello!
I went away on vacation and had a good time visiting my son and grandchildren. It was nice!
My first week back at work and it felt like a punishment for being gone :( So much to catch up on and long hours as I covered the floor most of this week in various positions.
But last night, it was different. I felt the need to stay....and I kept getting little things thrown my way that kept me there.
One of my residents was having a rough evening so I escorted her to her room. I sat with her for about 20-25 minutes talking. In the middle of our conversation, she settled back into her wheelchair and looked me square in the eye. She asked me, "Do you believe in God?" I said, "Yes, ma'am, I do." The next question was "What do you call Him?" I responded, "I call Him Heavenly Father." The last question was, "What do you know about Him??" My response was, "I know He loves me in spite my failings." She accepted that answer and nodded her head. Maybe she needed to hear that, to hear I believed. I bore a very simple but powerful testimony.
I left her and went out into the hall, towards the Nursing Station. The Med Assistant came towards me with a frantic face. Her sister-in-law was in a horrible wreck and she had to go. I took over the medication cart and finished the med pass.
This morning......in reviewing what happened yesterday.....I know Heavenly Father knew I needed to stay and be there. He knew what was happening......He knew my Med Assistant needed this tender mercy.
I may be tired beyond exhaustion but I answered the call of the promptings of the Holy Spirit and was able to see Heavenly Father in full action last night.
I know He loves me in spite of my failings. He loves my co-workers, He love my residents. He loves all of us in spite of our failings.
