I am thankful that God has opened a new door this week in a memory care wing of a faculty we have been visiting for a while. For those of you who think this is a pointless exercise I would like to encourage you to get involved if you can. Alzheimer’s and dementia effect a small but significant portion of our nursing home community residents. But while memories become spotty the value of the person remains unchanged to our Heavenly Father. We have discovered that love and music in combination can communicate quite effectively the love of Christ!
I have done music ministry in nursing homes, and it’s amazing how otherwise unresponsive patients will suddenly perk up and start singing with you when you sing the old hymns like “Amazing Grace.” I believe that’s coming from their spirits, which are very much alive and well. ❤
Amen Thanks for your input. There is plenty of harvest but not many laborers.
