Fruit Salad
A week ago today was my last day with my first (official) very own clinical group. We've enjoyed some great times over the last several months and they have been pure joy to work with. I'm proud of their accomplishments and how far they have come. All of the nurses we have worked with sing their praises. I truly was blessed with some fantastic students. I think I have learned more from them then they have learned from me.
On our last morning together I made them breakfast, cinnamon rolls and fruit salad...
I gave each student a different fruit and also assigned them one of the fruits of the spirit that I thought he/she was especially gifted in. As each student added their fruit to the bowl and read the Bible verse I had given them I told them the story of how they earned that fruit. The other students were invited to share how they have been blessed and encouraged my their classmate as well. We decorated photo mugs with pictures we had taken during our time together and the verses I had printed for each one. It turned out to be a wonderful time.
However, at the end of the salad they noticed that "faith" had not been added, our group had only 7 students and we all know that God is love. They then did something I didn't expect, they gave me faith! "You had faith in us. We have seen your faith in how you prayed for us and how you have been sensitive and responsive to God's leading with us. We are blessed by witnessing you live your faith." WOW!!!
