Oops! The poster above has left off one thing Jesus
said in Matt. 22.39. We are to love others as much as
we love ourselves. Many of us have a hard time forgiving ourselves. That’s where the love of God comes
in. A realisation of God’s forgiveness leads to a self
acceptance. Love grows in the soil of forgiveness.
Ebola has claimed over 4600 lives. It must be hard to
show any human feeling when dressed like this.
A report from Rush Medical Centre in Chicago
(17/10/14) tells of training staff including a chaplain.
“It took Chaplain Vandervest 15 minutes to put on the
mask, gown, overshoes, gloves and respirator, while
a nurse went through an eight-page checklist”.
