Stigler

This week has been nursing home week. So, there have been many extra activities in the nursing homes. Something I have noticed is the recognized importance of these services. The residents and staff can see the change in peoples lives because of the Love of God. There have not been any other activities overlapping during my time.
This morning we had an ol' fashion singspiration. There are times when you just want to sing. It brought in a continual stream of people. there were many who came in sad but left with a smile on their face. God is so good!

Fellowship is so important in the body of Christ. It's important to spend time together sharing in the good things of God. We raised our hands to the Lord and thanked Him for all that He has done for us. He is so Good! By the end of the service we were "stirring the pot." I shared a story about how some of those good memories of God can settle to the bottom of our thought life. It's time to stir them back up again. I asked the question, "How many here feel the need to rededicate yourself to the Lord." Virtually every hand in the room went up. We closed in prayer telling the Lord we were going to press into Him more than ever before. Praise The Lord!

I must say, we had quit an exciting morning. There is a new Administrator at Tidwell Living Center. She is a Preachers daughter who knows how to play the piano. She came out of her office and said, "Can I play for you?" (I always hesitate because you never really know what you're going to get.) She is extremely good! We had a wonderful time. This nursing home is very blessed to have her.
We looked at "The Secret To Life." 1.Accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. 2.Listen to Him. 3.Do what He says. It's really quite simple unless your stubborn and only willing to do your own thing. Yes Lord, we will follow You!

 I was very surprised and excited to see David Momquist this morning. He met me at the door to MapleWood Care Center in Tulsa. We had a great service. There were approx. 8 residents who rededicated their lives to the Lord. We prayed with the residents and then I asked, "How many would like a Bible?" And to that, I went out to the car to distribute 4 Bibles. Now, it's off to Bartlesville. Thanks David.

When you interact with people for a living you run into all types of situations. This morning a resident had just talked about committing suicide before I got there. She was in the service and being watched. I didn't realize any of this until after the service. At the close I asked if anyone needed a Bible. She raised her hand. I went out to the car and gathered several Bibles to distribute and then sat down to talk with her. She was with some staff so we all had a chance to talk together. I remember her saying, her family has struggled with suicide and some have actually carried it out. She said, "I know the Bible will help me. God loves me and that's what I need to hear." God does love us. He is the way, the truth, and the life, in any and every situation we face.

We haven't had this many people for a while - residents, staff, and family. It's always such a joy to lead people into the presence of the Lord. Many of the residents who seemed to be staring and not communicating came alive as we pressed into the Lord. We continue to:

There was excitement in the room before I got there. I like that. The staff was bringing in residents, getting ready for the service. Hands went into the air as we magnified the name of Jesus. We are looking at "The Secret Of The Lord." God hides things for us. He does not hide things from us. If we seek we will find. If we knock it will be opened. After the service hugs were in order. Being a resident can be very lonely. We can't get to many hugs. :)

We lifted our hands to the Lord this morning and praised Him. I met a woman who's husband is dealing with lung cancer. We held hands and prayed together that God's healing power would flow through His body. He is already taking chemo so we prayed that the chemo would seek and destroy every cancer cell in his body. We give all the praise to our good God!

Tahlequah

We were stirred up in our faith this morning. I ministered: 1.Turn to God 2.Hear what He says 3.Do it! Brother Roberts said it like this, "Hear from God. Don't confer with man. Get it done whatever the cost." Mary said, "What ever He says to you, do it!" We got stirred up.
I handed out several Bibles but more were needed. I'll bring more next time. We continue to lift up the name of Jesus.

All to often, as we get older, especially living in a nursing care facility, we think God is through with us. We feel either there is nothing left to do or we are not capable of doing what God wants done. That is not true. As long as we are on this side of heaven, God has a plan and a purpose for our lives. It doesn't matter how young or how old we are. Today, we looked at God's secret to life.

Ps 25:14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. KJV

When we continue to honor and worship Him He shows us His covenant. He shows us things to come. Then, we can become a part of those things to come. Mary said it like this.

John 2:5 His mother saith unto the servants, "Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it."

If we Believe in Him then let's listen to Him. When we listen to Him He will speak. When He speaks do what He says. That is the secret to life. Be a doer of the Word!
