The Hem of His Garment

Wherever He entered, into villages, cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged Him that they might just touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched Him were made well. Mark 6:56 NKJV

My Maundy Thursday offering is a video with three of the most loved songs which we normally sing at the nursing homes that I visit. This year the only melodies that can penetrate those walls are these You Tube videos which I have been making each week. Each session carries a short devotion and includes sub-titles for people to be able to sing along with the hymns.  Just think of it like sending flowers. If you could share these with someone in long term care, then just as God used the hem of His garment to bring grace and healing He can use these simple videos to be a blessing to those now locked in nursing homes this Easter. God bless!

 

In The Garden Of Prayer

I have been so excited to find that a few of my friends who work in the nursing homes where I have ministered have been able to share these simple videos with the residents. Though not highly professional in quality these are the songs that they love to sing and I have included sub-titles to help them join in. If you know of anyone serving now in a long term care facility especially in this crisis it would be a great blessing if you could share these hymns with them. This is my small offering to encourage them as they are sealed off from family members, friends and even pastors, chaplains and priests. God bless

Counting Blessings

Some people from a church in Alabama were talking to me at the annual Strawberry festival here in Florida. They asked me if I could guess three things that God could not do. The first one I did get right because I knew that God can not lie; but the second I had forgotten which is that He also cannot change. That is what I was thinking of today with the recent stock market gyrations coupled with Corona virus hysteria gripping the world. But in the middle of it all the Greatest news of all is that Jesus Christ is the same Savior today that He was yesterday and that He has promised to be with us. In the book of first Thessalonians the Apostle Paul writes to the believers there and tells them that He is thankful for them. Even in the middle of the persecution and even beatings and imprisonments Paul points to the unchanging hope we have in our Lord Jesus Christ.
