Am I the only one who finds this a bit over the top. Giving birth is
not an illness. Not sure why you and your wife feel the necessity to camp out in the labor room with this mother.
Some preachers would not feel that they have to tell us how hard they have labored, to earn they 100% take/control of the tithe, if they'd stay out times like these hours spent in the labor room.
Unless there were/are complications that the family called you in on, stay out of labor delivery rooms.
