Ruth's Prayer

by Kay Heitsch

As I was about to leave the Memory Care Center, I bent over and gave Ruth* a hug. While I was hugging her, she whispered, "Do you mind if I say a prayer?" "Sure, go ahead, that would be nice," I answered. Ruth's prayer was short and to the point, but it was something I needed to hear.

Ruth prayed, "Thank you, Lord, for leading and guiding her here."

Wow, I pray each day that the Lord will lead and guide me. After Ruth's prayer, I knew that being at the Memory Care Center was exactly where God wanted me to be that day.
