Tonight was our Home School Groups talent show for a local Retirement home. My son & his friend Jonah played a few of their pieces together for the elderly in our community. What a gift it was to them. There were many families that participated. It was beautiful. All the while we had the opportunity to share the good news with them through song, reciting scripture and spending time with them.
The Lord has surely given these children wonderful talents that truly was used as a ministry to these people tonight. It was a blessing and a gift back to see their hearts fill up with joy as they watched our children perform. My son was able to share his piano, guitar & singing talents which brought a few to tears, even myself.
The little children made a BIG Christmas card and signed it for the Retirement home.
As well as homemade Christmas cards which were passed out to every one there.
My daughter served a few ladies their packages... which tickled them down to their toes and straight up into their hearts. My daughter just smiled.
If you ever have an opportunity to give someone the gift of Christ... this is a delightful way to make people feel the joy and the presence of Christ weather they realize it or not. What a gift this was just to give.
Oh what a wonderful thing to do! You are so blessed, Mica!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful thing to do with children. It's important to teach kids that Christmas is about Love and serving others is a really wonderful way to manifest that love. We always go to sing carols at the old people's home every year. They really enjoy our visit, but truth is we enjoy it more!
