Father’s Day at Nursing Home

/ pastorpete51 / 5 Comments

“Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), Ephesians 6:2

We didn’t see as much turnout for Fathers that we did for Mother’s day but it was still a wonderful time. For some folks, honoring dad on Father’s day is sharing a good steak he cooks on the grill. For others spending time with dad could mean a trip to a restaurant or an afternoon out on the boat. But Father’s Day at Sunshine Christian Home means we drive by with signs, balloons and smiles and try to give them Father’s Day love from a distance. This year we can all honor fathers; whether our own or the fathers who have no one left to remember them. God sees; God remembers and God promises a blessing. Are you ready to be blessed?

Trust and Obey

If this week has seemed to be out of the pages of some apocalyptic novel then you are not alone. The Psalmist David when he was surrounded by dangers that made him feel as if the mountains were about to be thrown down into the sea he said;

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1 ESV

The hymns for this week include; Trust and Obey; Great is Thy Faithfulness and Rock of Ages. These classic hymns are for everybody, but since my principle ministry has been to those shut away behind the walls of a long term care facilities ; why not share these with someone now separated by the ongoing pandemic? God is a help in trouble and we are definitely knee deep in them this week. God bless and have a wonderful week everybody!

Jesus is Still Enough

While Paul and Silas sang praises the prisoners were listening; God sent an earthquake and the warden got saved! Now that’s what I call a full night and it all began at its darkest hour. No matter what any of us are facing Jesus is still enough and when we list up our praises He shows us how and why!
