Throughout the stay in McLeod’s Hospice House, mama and I would share God’s word together. I would read aloud to her from the old family Bible that stayed on her bedside table. When mama was able to early in her stay, she would pick a verse from a hand-written book I kept and we’d say “this is our verse for the day”. One particular morning, I flipped the little verse book in front of her and told her to just poke her hand in it to select a page for our daily verse. The page she picked was a blank one. At this, she said, “Oh my, that’s not good.” But I assured her how it was totally good, because we could fill it up together! It was Lamentations 3:22-23, which reads: Because of the Lord’s faithful love we do not perish, for His mercies never end. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness!
