December 4

I do this every year. I cook and have some of the residents over for fellowship— especially those who have no one to spend the holiday with. One lady had just lost her husband in October, yet she laughed instead of crying. Another resident is 97; who knows if this Thanksgiving might be her last. It is a lot of work, but such a huge blessing to me.

I'm not in the pictures because I can't hold the camera steady enough for group selfies. Three of the people are from the Bible studies I teach on Tuesday and Thursday. Two came from outreach. I love where I live, but I can’t get a larger table—there simply isn’t space. Still, more than ten others picked up meals to go.

Please enjoy seeing how someone as old as me, in a wheelchair, living in assisted care—a graduate of CLI/CLC and a member of CLA—can still be used by God. I would never have done any of this before CLI.
