12/23/09 Yesterday some of our staff members went out Christmas caroling after we finished our staff luncheon. We went to our homebound members. We asked them, "What is your favorite carol? Do you have a request?" Mostly, the people responded, "we like them all." One of our stops was to the skilled nursing facility of retirement center nearby. An older woman who is in declining health, physically and mentally, lives there. She used to sing in the choir. When we asked what she wanted us to sing, she gave the usual response that she liked them all. We sang Silent Night and Away in a Manger. Although she is not functioning so well on many levels, she sang along with us. She remembered the words. We left with tears in our eyes because we remembered the Word who became flesh.
Love,
Lynn
