Sometimes it was tough to understand some of the residents at the Memory Care Center. As the disease progresses, it makes it difficult for them to communicate.
One day a resident came up to me and said, "Praise the LORD!" over and over. A staff member noticed and walked Herman* away, but soon he was right back repeating the same thing. This behavior was odd, so I asked if he needed help. Herman looked relieved and nodded his head. I followed him to his room. There on the floor, lying face down, was his wife. Thankfully she wasn't hurt.
I was happy the Lord help me understand Herman that day. You never know how the Lord will use you!
