Episode Details

I came home from the office through the garage as usual. As I entered the house, I could hear Joe speaking to Selma. My Father and Mother-in-law lived in the Master bedroom of our home at the end of the hall from the garage. By this time Selma had become bedfast due to progressing illness, her strength waning and pain becoming unremitting from degenerative bone disease. Joe was just finishing the segment of Philippians 4 stating, “for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.” As he spoke that phrase in his baritone confident and peaceful voice, he asked, “can you do that dear?’ Selma responded through the pain of debilitating illness in her weak fluttering south Texas drawl, “I’ll do the best I can.”

Being content with how the current situation progressed was his solution for the extreme duress of that moment.
