We were at Peacehaven this morning to lead chapel service and the go round to visit the folk on Levels 1 and 3. Because of the Christmas and New Year Holidays, we missed two Tuesdays. Everywhere we went we were greeted with the words, "Have not seen you for a long time." Time drags for some of the elderly folk many of them confined to their beds or wheelchairs.
It has often been said, "Talk is cheap" True, words are trivial if they are used to make empty boasts or promises. But words can do a lot for people bringing them encouragement and hope.
"A person finds joy in giving an apt reply - and how good is a timely word!" Proverbs 15:23
The right words spoken with love can mean a lot to someone feeling sad, lonely and depressed.
We thank God for the privilege of visiting the residents, staff and nurses of our Nursing Home and sharing the gospel with them. We try as far as possible to bring that word of hope and encouragement to them
