The Dirty Clear Bag and Cloth

Wednesday, January 28, 2026

The Dirty Clear Bag and Cloth

 On January 20, 2026, I was working at my part-time laundry job

at a nursing home.  I had an extremely dirty

hoist covered with faeces (stool). (A hoist is made of durable 

cloth and wraps around a person who needs lifted up

on a Hoyer, a lift for people who are wheelchair bound.

 I placed the soiled hoist in a large bag with a note on it. 

The note said, "Needs to be in the hopper, thanks."

(A hopper is a large sink that flushes like a toilet.)

 I went to one of the dirty linen stations and placed

the bag on the countertop near the hopper.

On January 24, four days later I had to work and I noticed the same

dirty bag with my written note was still on the countertop. 

Although it wasn't my duty, I decided to rinse it out myself. 

It was the first time I had ever used a hopper. I managed

to rinse the hoist out several times and placed it in a 

clean bag ready to be washed. 

Two days later on January 26, 2026, I had a short dream that me, my husband,

and our son was

going to Mass and were running a little late! We could hear the 

congregation singing "Ave Maria" and it was so beautiful!

We entered into the church, and it was a little crowded.

My husband Brad and Isaac went toward the right side of the church

to find a seat, and I went to the left side.  I passed by some smaller pews

that only held about two people. But as I went past one of them, I noticed

a dirty clear bag and cloth sitting on the short pew. I glanced at it and passed

by it. I decided to sit in a different pew a few rows forward. When I sat down

I noticed the dirty clear bag and cloth was sitting next to me.

I immediately grabbed the bag, and dirty cloth and went to the back of the church.

I then searched for a restroom to discard and throw it away!

Dream ended

This dream reminded me of maybe a homeless person needing to be

cleaned and taken care of.  In the dream I wanted to ignore the "dirty

clear bag and cloth." But God gave me an opportunity to respond back 

to him despite the situation. 

This given dream from our Lord also reminds me of my task of rinsing out

the dirty hoist at my workplace. 🕇Our response belongs to God🕇

____________________________________________

Note: I will soon be leaving my job at the nursing home to 

fulfill other obligations needed for my family. I will miss

all the residents and keep them in prayer🕇

The Cross and Wet floor

On January 8, 2026, I had written in my journal:

A few days ago, I was working at my part-time laundry

job at a nursing home. I was doing my dirty laundry

pick-up. There is an elderly resident who always

sits near the nurse's station in his wheelchair. 

He had been sitting there for several hours and

two nurses went to take him to the restroom where

I was doing my pickup. 

I believe the elderly man couldn't quite make it

to the toilet and some urine went on the floor.

One of the nurses was speaking to him in 

an unkind tone in making him feel bad.

The nurse's behavior agitated the poor man

causing him to yell back at them. 

I walked away feeling sad for the resident

who is a beautiful person of Our Lord.

He rarely makes a sound and he patiently

waits in his wheelchair. He often drifts into

sleep with nowhere to rest his head.

On January 10, 2026, Our Lord gave me a dream.

I was at the nursing home I am employed at.

I was looking inside the residents large shower room

 and standing inside the doorway. There was a nurse

helping an elderly person with his or her shower. 

I remember looking at them and they looked over at me.

The tile floor was all wet because of the shower.

Suddenly, a large cross formed on the wet floor!

It was large and wide and extremely bright!

Only one cross formed and dream ended. 🕇

This dream reminded me of the story I wrote

called "Would You Recognize Me?"

This dream was short but had great meaning.

God sees our works and how we respond with 

one another. When we touch another person

or listen and hear them speak, we are responding to

God. It's our lord sitting in the shower and being

taken care of. It's Christ sitting patiently in the 

wheelchair needing compassion and care.

God Blesses us every time we do his work wither

it is pleasant or not.

When times get difficult or stressed we must

take a pulse and ask for help!  It will allow the heavy load to

be lifted and help keep us focused!

We are to help give those in need their dignity

  honor and respect. 

"The Cross and Wet Floor" also pertains to

many other needs as well. Those working in

daycare centers, hospitals, Dr. Offices, 

private homecare,

babysitting, potty training, working with

the handicapped and mentally challenged.

Anything that involves taking care of others

who have difficulties and their needs. It's not

only how we do our job or task but more

importantly how we respond. 

🕇Our response belongs to God🕇

Remember always, God fell three times during

his sorrow of carrying his cross to Calvary.

Simon of Cyrene helped Jesus carry his wooden

cross. May we remind ourselves to allow God to 

help us carry our own cross each and every time. 

He will always respond🕇
