Just Stay
Posted by: | CommentsJust Stay
A nurse took the tired, anxious
serviceman to the bedside.
“Your son is here,” she said to the old
man.
She had to repeat the words several times
before the patient’s eyes opened.
Heavily sedated
because of the pain of his heart attack, he dimly
saw the young uniformed Marine standing outside
the oxygen tent.
He reached out his hand. The Marine wrapped his toughened fingers
around the old man’s limp ones, squeezing a
message of love and encouragement.
The nurse brought
a chair so that the Marine could sit beside
the bed. All through the night the young Marine sat there
in the poorly lighted ward, holding the old man’s
hand and offering him words
of love and strength. Occasionally,
the nurse suggested that the Marine move
away and rest awhile.
He refused. Whenever the nurse came
into the ward, the Marine was oblivious of her
and of the night noises of the hospital – the
clanking of the oxygen tank, the laughter of the
night staff members exchanging greetings, the
cries and moans of the other patients.
Now and then she
heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man
said nothing, only held tightly to his son all
through the night.
Along towards
dawn, the old man died. The Marine released
the now lifeless hand he had been holding and
went to tell the nurse. While she did what she
had to do, he waited.
Finally, she
returned. She started to offer words of sympathy, but
the Marine interrupted her.
“Who was
that man?” he asked.
The nurse was startled, “He
was your father,” she answered.
“No, he wasn’t,” the
Marine replied. “I never saw him before in
my life.”
“Then why didn’t you say something when I took you to
him?”
“I knew right away there had been a mistake, but I also knew he needed his son,
and his son just wasn’t here. When I realized that he was too sick to tell whether or not I was his son, knowing how much he needed me, I stayed.”
I came here tonight to find a Mr. William Grey.
His Son was killed in Iraq today, and I was sent to inform
him. What was this Gentleman’s Name?
The Nurse with Tears in Her Eyes Answered, Mr. William Grey………….
The next time
someone needs you … just be there. Stay.

Posted by: | CommentsFor the Glory of Our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ, He is the King of Kings & the Lord of Lords Do You Know Him?
Rev S.M. Lockridge
The Bible says my King is the King of the Jews. He’s the King of Israel. He’s the King of righteousness. He’s the King of the ages. He’s the King of Heaven. He’s the King of glory. He’s the King of kings, and He’s the Lord of lords. That’s my King. I wonder…Do you know Him?
My King is a sovereign King. No means of measure can define his limitless love. He’s enduringly strong. He’s entirely sincere. He’s eternally steadfast. He’s immortally graceful. He’s imperially powerful. He’s impartially merciful. Do you know Him?
He’s the greatest phenomenon that has ever crossed the horizon of this world. He’s God’s Son. He’s the sinner’s Savior. He’s the peak of civilization. He’s unparalleled. He’s unprecedented. He is the loftiest idea in literature. He’s the highest personality in philosophy. He’s the fundamental doctrine of true theology. He’s the only one qualified to be an all-sufficient Savior. I wonder if you know Him today.
He supplies strength for the weak. He’s available for the tempted and the tried. He sympathizes and He saves. He strengthens and sustains. He guards and He guides. He heals the sick. He cleanses the lepers. He forgives sinners. He discharges debtors. He delivers the captives. He defends the feeble. He blesses the young. He serves the unfortunate. He regards the aged. He rewards the diligent, and He beautifies the meager. I wonder if you know Him.
He’s the key to knowledge. He’s the wellspring of wisdom. He’s the doorway of deliverance. He’s the pathway of peace. He’s the roadway of righteousness. He’s the highway of holiness. He’s the gateway of glory. Do you know Him?
Well, His light is matchless. His goodness is limitless. His mercy is everlasting. His love never changes. His word is enough. His grace is sufficient. His reign is righteous, and His yoke is easy and His burden is light. I wish I could describe Him to you. Yes, He’s indescribable. He’s incomprehensible. He’s invincible. He’s irresistible. You can’t get Him out of your mind. You can’t get Him off of your head. You can’t outlive Him, and you can’t live without Him.
Well, the Pharisees couldn’t stand Him but they found out they couldn’t stop Him. Pilate couldn’t find any fault in Him. Herod couldn’t kill Him. Death couldn’t handle Him, and the grave couldn’t hold Him. I wonder if you know Him?
