What an honour and privilege to be able to bring “appreciation packs” to over 140 nurses at five clinics! These comprised of chocolates, a hot drink sachet, an Activated magazine, and a thank you card specifically designed for these special men and women. The children got involved too, working with so much joy to create handmade signs, and then joining us on our rounds to “show the nurses love!”
These dear nurses labour long hours and process a huge number of patients, many of whom need comfort, counsel, or special care. And in these very uncertain times, they remain on the “front lines”, putting themselves at risk for the good of others. Yet they continue on cheerfully and faithfully, helping those who can’t help themselves.
The surprise and thankfulness on their faces as they received their “Nurses Appreciation” was truly satisfying! Some even became teary-eyed, just being reminded that their labours of love are not forgotten – not by God, and not by us. Who knows but that a little thing like this can lift up a weary soul and give them strength to carry on. Thank you for helping us to help and encourage others!
