Stop it or your heart might freeze like that.
Ever heard someone say, “Stop it or your face might freeze like that”? That saying came to my mind recently when I was reflecting on my first visit to volunteer in a nursing home. I noticed a wide range of people in this place. I have to admit that I was a little taken back by some of them at first. They can be very sharp-tongued and angry to be “sweet little old ladies”. I know that much of it is a mask for fear, hurt and frustration. Much like we are now…only we freeze like that. Then I saw people who had the sweetest disposition that you ever wanted to see. It made me think long and hard about the kind of condition that I would like my heart to be in should it freeze like that.
