A Gift of Love
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, as I have
loved you, that you also love one another.” John 13:34
Mrs. Brown lived in a mental facility. All of the therapy
that money could provide did not bring her out of her desperate shell. She sat
for three years in her rocking chair and never said a word to anyone.
A sweet Christian nurse started working at the hospital. The
doctor assigned Mrs. Brown to the nurse. She decided to just love the old women
with the love of Christ. The nurse got a rocking chair just like Mrs. Brown’s
and sat alongside her, loving her morning, noon, and night. The third day the
patient spoke and in a week she was out of her shell and well.
