God has laid a concern for the unborn on my heart. He has also laid a concern on my heart for another group of the weakest and least in our society, our elderly. Go to any nursing home in your area. When you walk into the lobby, you will see folks sitting all around, staring out the door, hoping to see someone they know walk in. I go to a nursing home in my area, not to work in any particular position, but just to sit and visit with people God has brought into my life. I did not know them prior to starting to visit, except for one gentleman, but met them when I started coming to sing with my stepmother as she plays the piano. Now, they are my dear friends. We chat and visit, study the Bible, and pray together. Some may seem confused at first, but the longer you talk with them, the more oriented they become. Some can’t answer me or even tell me their name, but I never fail to get a smile from them. I pray each day that I will be able to do something to bring hope and cheer to their day.
There is a song I love that talks about us being the Body of Christ. If we are the Body, why aren’t His arms reaching, His hands healing, His words teaching, His feet going, His love showing the Way to eternal life? I would add, why are there so many lonely souls crying out for love and companionship in our nursing homes, and no one to sit and spend time with them? I urge all to join in just visiting and making friends, then don’t stop! Keep going! You will grow and benefit so much!
Stand Up for the Gospel! Reach Out to this hurting world! Care for the least among us! Put your name on the List and show the world we are strong, only when we are in Christ!!!
