"For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”
~Esther 4:14~
Today our youth visited with residents of a personal care home. It's part of our M-Fuge Christian camp experience baced on missions of service.
The last lady Kayla & I visited today had many facinating life stories to tell about places she had lived & worked, & significant others in her life. But the most blessed story she shared is her current one. . .
She is 78 years old & one of the youngest residents. She fell several times at home, breaking many bones, & that landed her here, for safety purposesHer mind is sharp as a tack, make-up perfectly in place, & dressed really nice. She sits in a wheel chair on the patio, under the pravillion,reading a book.
When she 1st moved here, she cried for 3 months. She battled depression. But one day, God brought the needs of other residents to her attention. She began visiting them, making friends, meeting small needs in their life. Finally, her focus was off herself. She can meet their needs for a change.
She can tell you that God has placed her here to look out for the other residents.
Wow . . .God can re-purpose us at 78 years old. There is never a time our lives belong to us. They belong to God. And there is nothing more satisfying than fulfilling that purpose. Let Him use you, for such a time as this
