Lulu Goes to the Hospital

Today I had Lulu, one of my autoharps blessed. It was prayed over by Fr. S. and sprinkled with blessed water. Me, too.

I have a ministry of singing and playing for folks in nursing homes and hospice. Today I was going to visit a man who had been hit by a car while riding his bike. He is a chaplain for the hospice where I volunteer and has been in ICU for five weeks now. He is very seriously injured and recovery is taking many twists and turns. But I believe he will make it, and when he is well, he will comfort others with the comfort he has received from the Lord. He will have a new understanding of what hospice patients experience - God is most economical and wastes nothing!

This is Lulu. I bought her cheap and dirty, cleaned her up, added new strings and custom luthier chord bars. She plays in the key of C only and is tuned to 432 hz., considered to be the healing tuning. She is my primary therapy harp.

Chaplain H. asked for us to play hymns, so we brought Lulu and a beautiful selection of songs and sang to him. It was appreciated by all; even a nurse who heard us and stopped by to listen.

I am blessed to be a blessing!
