Though my main focus has usually been with people in long term care, I was so touched by Cindy Dawson’s article today, that I am reposting it for those readers of mine who are not familiar with her. You can find her blog, “Real Christian Women” by clicking here. I like most of all, how Cindy has not only portrayed the sad reality, but has challenged each of us to find some way to personally respond. Why not take some time today to pray and ask the Holy Spirit on how that might be played out in your own community and neighborhood?
Sunday School Hour (at the nursing home!)
… “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3 NKJV
We had an awesome time at Life Care Center on Friday, and I wanted to share some of the best parts. Now, nursing home ministry is serious stuff, but no one says that we can’t have the joy of little children as we worship together. The contemporary worship songs we sing at church sound great but often miss some of the solidly Biblical lessons we learned in Sunday school. I also hope that you will not only smile and listen to this week’s song session, but that you will sing along, tap your feet or even clap! Have a blessed weekend everyone!
Moments of Laughter
In moments of laughter, we ran out to see
Like children wondering all that might be
Hiding in secret down under old logs
In treetops or ponds where we used to catch frogs
And when day was done, our dads started calling
“Come in for the night, for the darkness is falling!”
We came traipsing home telling all we had done
Our adventures with spiders and races we won
And mom in the doorway would patiently listen
Then say, “Go scrub those hands till I see them glisten!”
And Dad picked us up to come sit in His chair
For that time which was best was our moment in prayer
