Sadly, due to the Delta Variant some of our facilities are closing down again regardless of the vaccine status of volunteers, friends or family members. It is frustrating but understandable as nothing is more important than the well being of the residents whom I visit. Those of you who follow my blog probably know of the visitation side of the ministry but may not be aware that I along with two other volunteers have been producing a weekly newsletter which goes directly to about 7 facilities in Florida and Western New York State. If anyone is interested to sign up to receive this free resource please let me know. Also please be praying for God to use our simple videos and newsletters. More than ever they are the only point of contact we have to share the hope and love of Jesus with our friends in long term care. Thank you for your partnership in this outreach. Let me know if you have any special prayer requests. God knows the answers to how this ends. So here is the video for this week in which I ask the question of where our faith begins. The hymn is one of my favorites, “Are You Washed in the Blood!” Have a blessed week all!

The Pity Party
I planned a pity party at my little house today I designed the invitations and I sent them on their way First on the list was neighbor Rick and his wife and children too But he shook his head and said "No thanks." I have so much to do So then I called my sister In hopes that she could come But her voice mail came and told me To just speak after the tone Next I thought of pastor so I drove down to the church But he was visiting the sick - at the Savior's work So I went into my room alone and sulked before the Lord "Does anybody care?" I asked Then I heard His gentle word "On the day that I was crucified My closest friends all fled And at Pilate's word was beaten And with thorns they crowned my head. Between two thieves that day I died Yet in faith one asked of me To remember him in heaven So I took him there you see So in your struggle down life's road When you're feeling quite alone Help someone with a heavy load Bring them before My throne That’s where you’ll see your Father’s face For His goodness there is found And you'll receive amazing grace And His joy to carry home!

A Little Bluegrass Praise
With all kinds of bad stuff is going on in our world, I just thought I’d post a little Bluegrass Praise Music. According to the Bible, praising God is a worthwhile choice even in the darkest nights. I hope this one makes you smile, lightens your load and maybe even makes you tap your feet!
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them, and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were unfastened. Acts 16:25-26 ESV
