A Christian nurse's gift

A Nurse's gift to her patient, to serve, to reach, to pray, to be an example of who Christ is.

A~A Christian nurse! How best to help others today?
C~Called to serve the Lord in a very special way.
H~Having a heart to help the hurting one-the ill.
R~Reaching out, giving so much more than just a pill.
I~ In prayer for those He daily entrusts to your care.
S~Seeking His Divine will to be a blessing there.
T~Tenderly caring, as The Great Physician heals
I~ In empathy dealing with how your patient feels.
A~Always striving to do more than duty demands.
N~Nurses committed to the LORD are His own hands,

N~Nurturing the sick one skillfully back to health.
U~Unselfishly serving Him without thought of wealth,
R~Realizing the blessedness of your giving
S~Serving the Saviour, dear nurse-what joyful living!
E~Envision in Heaven, His pleased salute "well done!"
S~Smiling as you stand glowing before Him-God's Son.

G~Greater riches than mere earthly money or fame
I~ Is the timeless reward of nursing in His name.
F~Forever knowing that your work is then complete. . .
T~There won't be one sick person in Heaven to treat!
