"Praise the LORD"

by Kay Heitsch

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!
