For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 ESV
I have rarely (Okay maybe never) shared an actual message from the nursing home. This week I am making an exception because I am hoping that the content give a helpful peek behind the curtain of life in long-term care. Some of the story is raw, because the problems, the struggles and the hurts are real, but God offers a sacrifice that came at a cost far more graphic and terrible because of His love! Each week we have 30 precious minutes, to sing, to pray, to preach and to visit. May this testimony be an encouragement and a blessing to any of you who dares to share the hope and grace of Jesus in a long-term care facility in your own community.
The older I get, the more astounding John3:16-17 becomes. Powerful message, Pete. Blessings!
I agree wholeheartedly Bruce. As I have grown older, this so called, simple verse, has grown richer and deeper and more mysterious every year.
The flamingo in the sun hat is hilarious. Had I been there I would have become quite distracted.
Oh, you noticed our flamingo! Yes, she gets decorated differently for different holidays and moves around the facility. We are so accustomed to her that most of us have forgotten how silly it looks to outsiders.
