GOING
DEEPER
Volume 23, Number 1 Winter
2006
Why Remember God?
Read Mooney, pp. 6-14.
a/ Make a list of aspects of remembering addressed
in any of these scriptures: Num 15:37-41; Ps 25:10, 78:35; 103:2,
104:24, 111:4, 119:16; Eccles 12:1; Jn 15:7; Phil 4:7; 2 Tim 2:8.
Why do you think these are imporant? How could these remembrances
help you?
b/ Consider ways you could have or did use the
rituals in Table 3, p. 14, in recent patient care experiences.
Which could you incorporate into your nursing care with patients
or families? How?
c/ Read Emblen, FAQs in Spiritual Care, p. 41.
How could you use the G.R.A.C.E. acrostic in your life? With older
clients, friends or aging parents?
Revaluing Aging:
Read Emery, pp. 16-23 and/or the editorial, p. 1.
a/ How do you feel about getting older? Write
down positives and concerns you have. Ask God to show you how
to acknowledge him and not just lean on your own thoughts. (Prov
3:5-6).
b/ Consider ways you or others have devalued
older persons at work, home, church. Why do you think this happened?
What could you have done differently?
c/ Read Lev 19;32; Job 12:12, 32:7 and 1 Tim
5:1-2. Do you believe old people are wise? Do your actions reflect
this? In what ways do you show respect for the elderly? Do you
listen carefully? Speak loudly and clearly? Wait patiently when
elders are slow in speech or action?
