“Hometown Folks Serving Hometown People
To my friends and family, with tears in my
eyes I say Thank You for welcoming me into
your homes, but most of all your hearts. After
working 40+ years in nursing care, I am
retiring. Matthew 6:1 “Take care not to do your
good deeds publicly or before men in order to
be seen by them, otherwise you will have no
reward awaiting you from the Father who is in
heaven.” So I indeed take no reward for the
care I have given my family and patients, but I
will embrace my retirement and take care of
Marie.
May God bless all those homes I have
entered over the years as a Hospice of
Limestone County nurse.
Thank you….Love, Marie McLin

Blessed In Aging
~Esther Mary Walker
Blessed are they who understand
My faltering step and shaking hand
Blessed, who know my ears today
Must strain to hear the things they say.
Blessed are those who seem to know
My eyes are dim and my mind is slow
Blessed are those who looked away
When I spilled tea that weary day.
Blessed are they who, with cheery smile
Stopped to chat for a little while
Blessed are they who know the way
To bring back memories of yesterday.
Blessed are those who never say
“You’ve told that story twice today”
Blessed are they who make it known
That I am loved, respected, and not alone.
And blessed are they who will ease the days
of my journey home, in loving ways.
