The director told me that they work hard to keep their promises--to the residents and the residents' families. I appreciated her comment. But people do fail us, as all of us could attest is true. Thankfully, God ALWAYS keeps his promises. He never fails. And that's a good thing.Meridian Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13415904614368419453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-58002405707332980322016-05-25T08:11:32.891-07:002016-05-25T08:11:32.891-07:00"It says to the recipient, you're still i..."It says to the recipient, you're still important." Our yeses that we keep are bridge-builders for the future, and joy-bringers in our present. Thanks for the reminder that we should speak the truth and mean it.Lisa notes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-10658726450191715632016-05-25T07:57:50.389-07:002016-05-25T07:57:50.389-07:00You remind me of the Scripture ... "Let your ...You remind me of the Scripture ... "Let your yes be yes, and your no be no." Something like that. But the last thing a dying person needs is someone upset over a broken promise. That breaks my heart.

I know that any kind of neglect like that would truly hurt my heart if I were in your shoes, Andrew. It's enough that you have physical hurts but to have emotional and relational ones added to it is so hard to hear. Praying that the preciousness of your moments with Barbara would come into crystal clear focus for the both of you!
