Last night I stood by a dying man and watched his heart rate slowly decrease. My friend (who is also one of my Khmai teachers) was called to go to the hospital to pray for a man who worked at the Bible college and she asked me to go with him. We spent 2 hours standing beside him praying for him as he lay unconscious. Shortly after we left he passed away. The critical care unit of the hospital consists of one room with beds side by side (literally one foot away from each other). A child was playing with some of the medical tools on the floor. The room was crowded with people.
I left the hospital tonight in a very reflective state. I was constantly reminded tonight of how grateful I am for Jesus Christ and that I do not need to fear death because death means that I will get to spend an eternity with Jesus. Last night was a reminder for me of the things that are really important in life.
