Singing in Memory Care

/ pastorpete51 / 3 Comments

Some folks probably wonder why I bother to write two separate blogs. The reason is that, Walking With Lambs is devoted specifically for people whose lives have been touched by long-term-care, whether you are on staff, have a family member or friend in a facility or are a volunteer, these posts are meant to be an encouragement as well as a forum to add your own experiences. Today’s post is a reminder that, while those in the memory care wing of one community I visit are the least visited, they do still have a capacity to worship and praise Jesus. In fact, if you listen carefully, you will hear many happy voices praising God as we sing. I think that God loves to hear those folks more than any worship team of earth. They are the little ones who our Father is pleased to spend His time with. Why shouldn’t we do the same!

“And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’ Matthew 25:40 NLT

If you have ever wondered if it is worth it to visit memory care, then this is a perfect video for you to watch. If you listen just a bit, you will hear many happy voices singing along with me. They may not recall where they used to live, or the name of family members, but they remember these songs and the name of Jesus. What a delight it is to sing with them and in my humble opinion, I think Jesus likes the sound of their voices better than any recording artist on earth! Today’s song session includes: Isn’t the Love of Jesus Something Wonderful, Oh How I love Jesus and He Keeps Me Singing. I pray that He will keep you singing as well and that you will live for Him every day!

God The Master Artist

God the Master Artist
Who makes us like Himself
Hands us our own paint brush
And a canvas from His shelf

Then selects for each a palette
With the colors He does choose
Not just the brilliant ones we like
But also darker hues

And as each day we start to paint
Our Christ and Lord draws near
To guide our strokes with His own hand
Until His face appears!

My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you.
Galatians 4:19 NKJV

As The Fog Lifts

/ pastorpete51 / 4 Comments

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Roman’s 12:1-2 ESV

Paul appeals to us to offer to God daily, our will, our choices, and desires as an act of worship. Then, he promises that by following this new way of thinking about life that we will gradually be able to make out our surroundings as the fog lifts (discern). Then we will see clearly what is good in God’s eyes: what is acceptable to Him and how He would have us take the next step towards becoming perfect like Christ.
