Heart broken and blessed


I am heart broken and blessed at the same time. Bessie called to ask if Willard and I could do Sunday School at the nursing home in the morning. Of course I told her that we would be glad to. She told me how much I was missed this week, since I've been out sick. She started explaining how every day, the residents would get there Bibles, and go to the lunch room for our Bible study. She said she would have to go in and remind them that I wasn't coming. Gee, how that brings tears to my eyes in knowing how I have disappointed them. But it also brings joy to my heart knowing how much they care for me. Anyone who does not know how much joy comes from visiting with these special people, have lost a real blessing. If each of you would just take one hour a week, and just visit with someone in a nursing home near you. Read to them, sing to them, or just talk to them and let them talk to you. They love telling stories about their life's. And I just know that if you would give it a try, you'll began to enjoy it as much as they do.


until next time God bless.
