A friend called to tell me her aged mom had been admitted to the hospital in heart failure. She added that a decision had been made by her mom that nothing heroic would be done. A little medicine here and there. If that worked, fine. If not, that was fine too. The family was good with that decision and was together on the journey.
Another friend posted on FB asking for prayers for her aged mom - from all who proclaim the Lord - also admitted to the hospital in cardiorespiratory failure. Mom was admitted to the ICU where all the stops had been pulled and it was a full tilt medical biotechnopharmacological assault to "save her." Each patient and family claims to believe in one they call on as Lord. Each patient and family claims a belief in an afterlife that is better than anything here.
Which do you believe?
Our actions speak louder than words.
