“But when we finally spoke, we admitted to each other that this was one of the most amazing pastoral moments that we had even encountered in our respective ministries. God had tugged at Bob’s heart to go, and God pulled Jeannie out of a coma just long enough for her to see that there were people who genuinely cared for her. People who had become her family despite losing her own.”

Henri Nouwen: “When we honestly ask ourselves who means the most to us, we find that it is those who have chosen to share our pain, and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand, the friend who can be slient with us in a moment of despair or confusion, and face with us the reality of our powerlessness.”
