Last day in January, Tuesday - we visited Peacehaven Nursing Home, Hope Centre and did chapel service at Second Level. With the growing number of dementia residents, it is now necessary to have three separate services on three floors. The chaplain was on one level, Major Lim Chee Kwee on another and we were assigned to Level two.
Quite a number of off duty nurses from Changi Hospital were at the Nursing Home acting as volunteers to help the elderly and the sick as they celebrated Chinese New Year.
After lunch with the staff, we went to visit two elderly salvationists both housebound to share new year blessings. It was pouring rain, but Captain Hary came to bless us with transport. That was a tremendous help. We got home almost 6.00 p.m, tired but delighted we were able to share blessings with others.
"Thank You Lord for giving us another day of great blessing. We bless You and thank You for health and strength even though we feel old age creeping up on us. Thank you for blessing us, thank You for the privilege of sharing Your blessing with others. We've been blessed by the folk we visited."
"Seventy years are given to us! Some even live to eighty.But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble;soon they disappear, and we fly away.Teach us to realize the brevity of life,so that we may grow in wisdom." Psalm 90: 10 & 12 Living Bible)
One month of 2010 has gone by quickly.
