From God's Front Porch

H.elping restore spirits ravaged by infirmity and happenstance. O.pting to reinforce God's divine grace and benevolent mercy. S.erving daily a generous portion of love and compassion. P.roviding comfort seasoned with both concern and sympathy. I.nvoking the blessings of God to lift descending spirits. C.hoosing to adhere to the positive in spite of adversity. E.ffectuating Godly feelings of continual love and eternal peace. Written by: William H. Nelson The creativity of a southern hospice nurse spirited these writings inside From God's Front Porch. The physical, emotional, and spiritual needs voiced by the hospice patients and families that she cared for inspired her to use poetry and photography to capture their end-of-life experiences. Even though dying is usually not the most popular topic for a conversation piece, there is an increasing awareness in our society today for hospice to be entertained as a doable philosophy of care. Hospice is committed to affirm the cycle of life and enhance one's quality of living with dignity and compassion. These writings hopefully offer hope and encouragement not just for those transitioning in hospice, but also for those affected by their everyday life experiences. The multi-diverse feelings in both situations are portrayed through pictures and heartfelt words speaking from the heart and embracing the spirit.
