Worried Sick

A pastor was visiting a 96 year old parishioner in the nursing home.

When he asked how she was doing, the elderly lady replied, "I'm worried sick!"

"What's the problem?" the pastor inquired.

"Well, all my friends have already died and gone to heaven. I'm afraid they're all wondering where I went!"

    When I first read this, I chuckled at the thought of a group of elderly women sitting down to tea in heaven and remarking about the one in their earthly group that did not make heaven.

    Then the photo and thought of a lonely old parishioner in a nursing home really bothered me. She remarked, "ALL my friends have died." Even though all her elderly friends had already died, certainly she must have had church, friends and family (up to 5 generations younger) that could be visiting. But then I pondered, how many older ones have been put into nursing homes and basically forgotten?
