So frequently today we fail to acknowledge our relationship with each other as children of God. I experience this disconnect in everyday encounters with the public whereby many persons fail to say hi/hello or make eye contact and even more profound is their non-response to a verbal greeting from me.
However, during my recent overnight stay in the hospital following my surgery, I did experience the Lord's spirit within those attending to me.
While in the surgery recovery room for eight hours and then throughout the night, I would reach out for the attendee's hand. If there was a lack of response, I would say "hold my hand." In all cases, the response was remarkable. A sense of calmness and peace was evident during these moments or minutes of wordless communication.
Although I only saw some of these attendees but once, my encounter with them was one of a sense of presence of the spirit of the Lord between us.
