"F.R.O.G."

I was told a story about a woman in the hospital who was near death when an area Chaplain came to visit her. This Chaplain was a very young woman with very long hair. She listened to the woman who was ill and left her a small gift for comfort. It was a tiny ceramic frog. The patient later told her friend about the beautiful young Chaplain who had visited her.

The friend was so impressed with how much her friend had improved and felt the need to talk to the young Chaplain. In her search to find this Chaplain, she was repeatedly reassured that the chaplains who visited here are never very young and that there was never a woman that fit the description given. Upon returning to visit her friend in the hospital, a visiting nurse entered the room and noticed the ceramic frog. As she held the little frog, the nurse made the comment: "I see you have a guardian angel with you." We asked why she made that comment and we were informed that the frog stood for:

(F) Forever (R) Rely (O) On (G) God.
