New Mercies Every Morning!

/ pastorpete51 / 3 Comments

Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!” Lamentations 3:22-24 NKJV

I was so happy to be back with my friends in the memory care wing at Sunshine Home this morning. We not only had everyone show up, but they really sang! Though we were only shut down for three weeks, it felt like three months. I am so grateful to God for His great mercies and delighted to sing this hymn with my brothers and sisters. People say they are in memory care, but they remember both the words and the great faithfulness of our Father! And why are His mercies new every morning? Because every day we mess up!! 

Mother Teresa said, "Bless those who curse you, think what they would say if they knew the truth."

But God knows the whole truth about us and still He offers 
His mercies new every morning because of His love!

A Little Family Time

And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. Mark 6:31 KJV

Our family times matter. Whether we are cleaning the house, going to the beach or heading to church on Sunday, the fact that we are doing them together makes it a memory worth keeping. I am loving the Mullett family picnic as they sing one of my favorite old hymns played with an Irish sounding lilt. I pray that your summer activities include taking time off, even if it is just a long weekend and build memories as a family that will last a lifetime.

Old Time Revival In Memory Care

Here is a peek into our fun singing session yesterday. I hope it puts a smile on your face and an attitude of praise in your heart no matter what you are facing this morning. I’ll continue reposting from my other blog “Walking With Lambs” for a While. But if you are interested in or would like to be involved in Nursing Home Ministry I suggest that you follow over on that site so we can become a network of people committed to the long term care community.

Clap your hands, all peoples!
    Shout to God with loud songs of joy! Psalm 47:1 ESV

If you think we only sing some old slow hymns at our Thursday morning meeting, then you have never joined us. If we did that half my folks would fall asleep! So, I invite you to join us for this medley which I titled, “Country Hoedown at Sunshine Home. Get ready to clap, maybe stomp your feet and please feel free to sing along!
