From that experience I became committed to visiting others in the hospital. As an elder, deacon and artist I have learned some ways to make the visit to a hospital, nursing home or rehabilitation facility a healing experience. Here are seven suggestions.Freelance writer STANLEY BURKHARDT has a passion for animals. He loves animals so much, he crafted himself a new career.

LISTEN Take the time to BE PRESENT with the person and LISTEN to their needs. This means leaving your own issues and garbage at the entrance to the facility. Just like a football game or an action packed movie demands total attention the same is true with the person you are visiting. One of the ways you can show your presence is with your body language. Maintain eye contact, (Unless it is culturally inappropriate). Also, try not to look at your watch. Trust me the patient will know if you if your mind is on them or your next appointment. AVOID asking them the details of their problems. They will usually volunteer that it they feel comfortable with you. So often people visit a person and drill them on their condition. It not only is a private matter but the person often tires of repeating everything to everyone who asks. The exception, of course, may be the senior citizen who may not get many visitors.

Pay particular attention to how well the person is able to feed them. If assistance is needed-help them. Note that fact and inform others you know who are planning to visit. As a result, future visits can be scheduled around the food serving times. 3. SHORT DEVOTION Start now gathering short scriptures of encouragement that can be shared whenever you visit someone. You do not have to be a minister to do this. Consider some of the scriptures that have encouraged you in your personal bible study or devotional time. Don’t be judgmental with them. Such as is “God is angry at you because…” Please keep the devotional short. Remember the person may be on strong medicine and need to rest or may not have a long attention span. 4. PRAYER Ask the person if they would like to have prayer. Here are some suggestions for things to pray about. For them, the hospital, nursing home or rehabilitation center. Nursing care, wisdom for the doctors, medicines and all the things that might bother them while they are there. The patient will often tell you some of their specific prayer requests.

Maintain eye contact, (Unless it is culturally inappropriate). Also, try not to look at your watch. Trust me the patient will know if you if your mind is on them or your next appointment.Renting a house is a good way of putting a roof over your head, but once you are able to qualify for financing, then it's time to consider purchasing your own home.Use a mortgage calculator to see how much more economical this is!The whole idea of a mortgage calculator isn't to give you an exact amount of how much any given property will cost you, but rather to give a guideline of what you can expect to pay a mortgage lender should you decide to buy it.Waiting to find out th AVOID asking them the details of their problems.
