Nursing Home

 Happy Sabbath

It's much later than usual for me to get on here.  I came back from nursing home with my son and a church brother and we had gone to encourage the residents there.  Usually there would be a group of us but everyone, their cousin and grandmama for some reason wanted to go on vacation this week, I don't know.

I was a bit apprehensive about going wondering who else would join us and when we got there, no one else came out.  I always hide behind the piano for music and this time I didn't have a piano to use so I ended up leading out in song service for each wing of the facility.  That is not something I do and definitely something I've always avoided.  But praise be to the Lord, He was with me and my voice.  My son sat away from us and didn't participate and the gentleman tried what he could but did mumble or stay silent at times.  One resident joined in for the second wing we visited and even though I was on my own for the first wing, everything went well and I hope that people were blessed not just by the music but the word that was shared with the people.  He spoke on ability and purpose in old age and reminded them that they were loved by the Lord, have value and are able to influence and do great things even in their current condition.  It was good.  My son and I dropped him off and arrived home where I was able to enjoy a meal prepared by another church sis that was delicious and filling.  

This week was a good week also at work.  It was packed full of meetings left and right and I was able to see all of my clients amazingly so.  There were a lot of people I needed to see and I'm glad to see that they are doing well.  My dad was having a medical challenge also at the start of the week but it seems to have resolved itself. My mother told me what was happening as it was something that would be considered embarrassing to him but I'm glad that he was able to have his appointment Friday and that everything for the most part is cleared up.  My mother also has recovered from her illness HMPV which put her in the hospital the other week. Everyone is doing ok and I have no complaints.  

God is good :)
