DANCE OF FIRE
I wrote the content on this blog with sincere and holy intentions with the knowledge that I had at the time... We live, learn and amend...as errors are exposed and more truths are revealed...
Only GOD is perfect. It's vital that you seek the Lord to expose any errors that you've embraced. Please ask Him to expose any areas of darkness to you and for what is necessary to do to dispossess what's NOT of truth.

POETRY: DANCE OF FIRE
Flames of fire dance joyfully as dreams of fervor conjure up images of red hot passion for the gusto of life.
Sizzle, spark, explode -
Fireballs light up the sky. Wow! a thunder flash with a clap -
The flames are vivid with the awesome glow of orange colors blended with yellow highlights that accent the blaze.
This display is the bomb torched with a rocket plan. Such rapture has lit our fire. We are dynamite on this journey.
Come on fire, fall on us. Pour your liquid potency. Ignite our souls that we may be engulfed with magnified intensity.
Blow up our hearts. Dance with us....
Sandra

ReplyDeleteOh, you need to meet the Hinkle Family (http://hinklefamily.org/hf/index.htm) They are missionaries to nursing homes here in the States. Pop Hinkle plays the accordian and his children play various instruments. They visit our church at least once a year to keep us up to date on their activities. Their son and daughter-in-law are my Friends on FB and they always post the nursing homes they visit each day. The travel across the south, and are based here in Texas. They do have CDs of their gospel music available. When they visit the home, they provide gospel singfests, involving the residents and Pop will preach a sermon, too. I do so enjoy their photos on FB of the people they bring joy to with their visits. Every nursing home visit is a blessing. Who knows when we'll get there!!
ReplyDeleteI have been privileged to be part of a weekly ministry to an assisted living facility for the elderly in our area. I've done this for about a year and a half. We sing old hymns, we pray, and three of us compose and share a 10-minute "talk" - encouraging them in the Lord.
ReplyDeleteIt's always such a blessed time. They are so grateful, and yet, they bring such a blessing to my spirit. There's something so very touching about watching older people come to meet the Lord - some in walkers, some in wheelchairs, some barely shuffling along in slippered feet. We always make a point of offering an invitation to come to the Lord, just in case someone hasn't yet made that decision.
My most poignant moment - when we all sang "Jesus Loves Me" with hand motions. Everyone remembered the words - and to hear their voices sing together - off-key, raspy, loud, quiet - as precious as the voice of angels.
"And the King will say, 'I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!" (Matthew 25:40)
GOD BLESS!
Yes, I worked in a nursing home as a nursing assistant for 8 1/2 years, and many of the people I took care of seemed to just not have anyone. I think that especially around the Holidays that are coming up, the elderly need more attention, and need to know that they are loved, but not just loved with human love, but Godly love.
ReplyDeleteGreetings all -
ReplyDeleteI have been deeply blessed by your accounts of ministering to the elderly. It has done my soul good indeed!
Thank you all for sharing the pleasant experiences with our "golden citizens."
I love elderly people! We just had a senior luncheon/bingo event at church. Some residents from our nursing home even got to come. Such a blessing to fellowship with all of them.
ReplyDeleteHi Diana -
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting and sharing about your love for the elderly. It is with deep appreciation that I say, "thank you!"
