Her trigeminal neuralgia was very painful.
I told her some things about the neighborhood, a story about my family, chattered about Halloween.
She briefly commented on her son and his business enterprise; mentioned her grandchildren coming to visit in their costumes, and wondered - again - because the pain was so intense - if the Lord was trying to teach her patience.
I walked out into the crisp fall air.
I was overcome with gratitude for this dear, dear friend and her goodness, her tenderness, her smile, her love of family and Gospel, and most of all, her PATIENCE.
