Singing in Memory Care

If you have ever wondered if it is worth it to visit memory care, then this is a perfect video for you to watch. If you listen just a bit, you will hear many happy voices singing along with me. They may not recall where they used to live, or the name of family members, but they remember these songs and the name of Jesus. What a delight it is to sing with them and in my humble opinion, I think Jesus likes the sound of their voices better than any recording artist on earth! Today’s song session includes: Isn’t the Love of Jesus Something Wonderful, Oh How I love Jesus and He Keeps Me Singing. I pray that He will keep you singing as well and that you will live for Him every day!

America the Beautiful

This video from Watermark Assisted Living, came from the Sunday afternoon, just before the 4th of July. Sadly, the memory card filled up before the end of our singing, but you will get the idea that these folks love these kinds of songs. You can hear them in the background just singing for all they are worth. Yes, we certainly have lots of failures and problems in America, but we also have so many things to be thankful for. We have freedom to worship and lift up the name of Jesus. So, let’s thank God for what He has given and ask Him for more of His grace, from “Sea to Shining Sea!

Tis So Sweet

“Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus”, the lyrics to today’s hymn tell us. When things are going swimmingly in life, there is money in the bank and our last doctor’s visit is a distant memory that seems easy. But when the wheels fall off of our bandwagon and our hopes are dimmed by grief, trusting Jesus is a whole different thing.

He was despised and rejected by men,
    a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;
and as one from whom men hide their faces
    he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Isaiah 53:3 ESV

But Jesus knows our sorrows and weaknesses because He carried every one of them to the cross. It is sweet to trust Him, exactly because when we are passing through the hardest times of our lives, He comes nearest to us and shelters us in His care. I pray you will be blessed by our song session from Life Care Center and maybe even sing along. Lifting our voices when we are feeling our lowest, is one of the best ways to trust Him more!

31 Days of Hope – Free Devotional

I lift up my eyes to the hills.
 From where does my help come?
 My help comes from the Lord,
 who made heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2 ESV

The Bible tells us that faith hope and love are three things that will last forever. Faith is how we stay connected to God, Love is what keeps us there, but hope is how we get there in the first place! Without hope, life drags on but we feel as if the vitality is gone. In those situations, we look everywhere, just as Psalm 121 say, “Lifting up our eyes to the hills… the distant horizon, wondering where our help will come from. The good news is that God is there beyond the hills and He is also right here by our side. We need to put all of our hope in Him because He will never fail!
