Rev 3:20 Behold, I
stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I
will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.
When I first got to the Veteran's Home, I asked for Dad's big read Bible as I held his hand. I immediately started reading Psalm 23: 1-6: The LORD is my Shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
After that, I went to the part where Dad and I had last left off. When Dad went to the group home several years ago, I started reading the New Testament to him every now and then when the timing worked out. When I would finish reading that particular chapter, I would tell Dad what chapter we would read next.
The bookmark where we had last read was in the early part of II Corinthians. I was determined to finish II Corinthians with Dad, so I read until we finished. I can't know if it was reassuring to Dad, but I know it was reassuring to me. I also picked the following Bible passage for this post, because I feel that's what was going on as I was reading to Dad: Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.
