Yesterday, after watching both Addams Family movies on channel 29 late last night, a show called The 700 Club came on. I started watching a little bit and the first subject that came on was about a nurse in England, being reinstated to her job, after getting suspended for offering to pray for a patient. As I continued watching, intrigued with the fact that this woman was suspended for her faith, it seems as though she does this with many of her patients. She said that they welcome her prayers, wanting someone to pray for them and help from the good Lord above. It seems that the patients had improved after she prayed for them, and thanked her afterwards. When she asked one of her current patients, they had politely declined and she said that she did not push the suggestion on them. However, the patient, I believe, complained to her supervisor and the supervisor suspended her because there was a prior complaint about it from another time. While the woman was suspended, the Christian League, or whatever it's called, complained to her job, saying that if she were Muslim, she wouldn't have gotten in trouble. They did not like the fact that because she is a Christian, she is susceptible to more trouble with her job, than if she were another religion. They said that if she offers to pray for her patient then that should be acceptable. It wasn't like she was pushing her faith onto the patients, and they accepted her offers before. The nurse is finally back to work and is still asking her patients if they would like her to pray for them, and is still devoted to her faith.P.S. In the picture, that is the nurse who was suspended.
Hey bb! Sometimes people cannot easily put themselves in other's shoes. Remember the incident in the fall? You cannot get angry at them for this, you must gently yet directly enlighten them...that education will be more valuable to that person than your anger. Love ya!
