Singing at the Nursing Home
February 13, 2015
I invited anyone of my facebook friends to join us today as
we went to the nursing home (Lake Wylie Assisted Living).
Micah and Ethan were so excited to go back. They were practicing bible verses to share on
the way over.
Ethan just learned to say the fruits of the spirit (thanks
to the scripture songs) Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness,
Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self
Control.
Micah loves to recited Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created
the Heavens and the Earth! And John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He
gave is one and only son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have
everlasting life.
We sing traditional songs like Jesus loves me, Hes got the
whole World in His hands, I’ve Got the Joy, Deep and Wide, I’m in the Lords
Army, This little light of mine. And we
also sing Ethans Favorite “Stop and GO” and Ha La La La (shake a friends hand…)
I love seeing the connection the elderly make with the
kids. I love watching the Elderly play
the instruments and get the sense that they are actually making music! The smiles and joy that is felt in the room
is always amazing! SO thankful for the
opportunity to be Light and offer Joy to those who may be lonely. And I love the reminder I learn from the kids
that sometimes the best way to “be” joy for someone else is simply by being
you! The Joy of the Lord is my
strength! WE were made for more than
ordinary lives, we were made to thrive.
Joy unspeakable, Faith unsinkable, Love unstoppable….with God anything
is possible.
Valentines day was special this year we had our own
homeschool preschool party at the nursing home!
