Wisdom Nugget:
“A gentle touch can say what words never could.”
Wisdom from Seniors:
In my chaplaincy work, I’ve seen how powerful a gentle touch is to the elderly. A hand on a shoulder. A warm hug. A gentle pat. They’ve taught me these are not just gestures; they’re blessings. A simple, kind touch speaks volumes, especially to those who may feel forgotten.
📖 Scripture:
“Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him…” — Matthew 8:3 (ESV)
Chaplain’s Reflection:
In a world of screens and speed, physical presence is healing. Offer the ministry of touch with great tenderness and respect, as our seniors have taught me to do.
💭 Wisdom Prompt:
Who might need your gentle presence more than your advice or effort?
🙏 Prayer:
Lord, let my touch carry Your comfort. May I be a vessel of healing presence today. Amen.
