An aged saint lay in the nursing home, unable to get out of bed. The end of her journey on this earth was coming to a close.
She was a matriarch in our church. She taught people about Jesus since her teen years. She prayed faithfully for those who had needs. She loved and was loved.
She was a woman of faith.

This podcast speaks of the value of suffering — and how to get the most out of it that you can.
