It was a Friday evening and the evening when Dalybread Gospel group visited the Hospital to sing favourite Hymns and gospel songs

Ben their grandson was on holiday with Sheila and Tony so  he had come along too.  It was a little unusual but Sheila knew that the old ladies would be thrilled to meet him  more they would  love him. It happened on  Faraday Ward this particular evening  as they entered the ward and started to greeting  the patients  they introduced little Ben to each one.  When Ben drew near to Mrs Giles bed a lovely moment took place.

Mrs Giles had had a leg amputated and the stump  was uncovered and all could see the wound above the knee.  Mrs Giles had always been very distant, she seemed in a world of her own a world of regrets of pain and grief. She never communicated and when approached she only looked blank.  On this night however something happened.

As Ben drew near to her bed he looked under that table and inspected her leg.. Then looked up into her face.  At this same moment she had noticed the deep wound in his face they . At the same moment   their eyes meet, she smiles as if to say I understand I know,   Bens reaction was very similar. A mixture of compassion understanding and love a look of pathos. Mrs Giles reaches out a tender frail hand and gently touched Bens cheek . God is at work for God is love…
