After finishing my hospice chaplain visits on Saturday, I couldn’t stop thinking about the last person I saw.

That day, I had worn two hats—pastor to some and hospice chaplain to others. These are the thoughts that followed.

Then, at the very end, a song came to mind that we had sung earlier that week in a nursing home. I invite you to sing it with me, wherever you are.

You may be surprised by what it stirs in your own heart.

Here are some of the things I’ve learned from hospice patients over the last few months. Some I think I’ve heard before. Some were new to me, but all were heartfelt. I began thinking about them while driving home today after visiting someone on hospice whose health deteriorates daily while her soul longs Homeward:

People often have beautiful things to say about you, but strangely, you usually have to die first—or at least be on hospice—to hear them.

I’ve also learned that there are moments when I talk to myself, and then both of us feel it… and cry together: the person the world sees, and the person I really am.

One patient unintentionally gave me what may be the most honest definition of life I’ve ever heard: life is the act of whatever you’re doing that prevents you from killing yourself.

Another lesson? If a poem hasn’t ripped apart your soul, you haven’t truly experienced poetry.

An orange tree would rather die than produce lemons. Yet many people spend their entire lives trying to become someone they were never meant to be.

And perhaps the greatest lesson of all is this: you don’t have a soul. You are a soul. You simply happen to have a body.

COME to the water.

Not the poisoned streams of this world…
not the noise, not the hurry, not the endless hunger clawing at your soul like wolves in the dark.

COME to the water.

LIVE in the moment before it slips through your fingers like smoke from a dying fire.
BREATHE again.
FEEL again.
REMEMBER what it means to be human beneath all the scars and survival.

REFRESH your mind.
REST your weary body.
RENEW the spirit this cruel world tried to bury alive.

REGAIN the gentle heart life hardened.
Find the PEACEFUL soul that still whispers beneath the chaos.

RECLAIM YOURSELF.

Not the mask.
Not the performance.
Not the broken reflection others demanded you become.

YOU.

RESTORE yourself in the Power greater than your fear…
greater than your failure…
greater than the storm raging inside your chest.

COME to the water…
and let Heaven wash the dust of this world off your soul.

Revelation 22:17 KJVS
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

God of my present. God of my future. You write my story. You hold it all together.
