We had such a fun night last night as we spent an hour or so with some of the folks at Pine Grove nursing home. Nine teens and I sang five Christmas carols for the folks, We spent most of our time simply interacting with many folks that just needed someone to spend time with them.
I think one of the things that stood out to me and also to the staff at the nursing home, was the ease with which our teens interacted with the seniors. They were not scared or shy, they just went for it. It was beautiful to watch. There are times when our fear of certain situations stops us from really reaching out. It is so good for all of us to get out of our comfort zones and make a difference.
I also wanted to give an update on our Christmas baking sales. We are officially sold out. The last six were delivered after supper. It is such a blessing to be able to add almost $800 in to the ministry through the generosity of others.
Christmas is the season for blessing others and we continue to look forward to this season of impacting others. I had a family call me today in need of assistance, there need has come a s a result of losing everything in the recent flood. They have two children aged 6 and 9 that lost everything in the flood. All they have are the clothes on their backs. We can make a difference.
If you know of anyone that has some extra clothing for a six year old boy and a nine year old girl let me know. We would be pleased to get it to them.
