where does health end and salvation begin?
God the Father, your will for all people is health and salvation;
We praise you and thank you, O Lord.
Goodwin House has an interesting hospice classification, "failure to thrive." I've been tracking a hospice patient for 5 weeks now based on her diagnosis "failure to thrive due to severe dementia." Thing is, she walks without help, spends most of the day out mingling with the rest of the residents, sometimes I get really confused as to why she's on hospice. But today I realized, health is not an option, but salvation is. This woman will not recover from her deteriorating condition, but she can still know God's will. My prayer is no longer for this resident to know God's healing power on Earth, but instead to know His saving embrace in the eternal now. I guess I get it know.
