Our team of three was allowed back
In the nursing facility to hold a
Sunday service.
Seven ladies attended.
For weeks on end they had been
Confined to their rooms, and now
They were thrilled to be back in the
Small lovely chapel.
Several of the residents were
Familiar to us, but two were
New, not just to the group, but
To widowhood as well.
I could sense the compassion in
The room for this grieving pair.
The women were eager to sing the
Old hymns and to take in the
Bible lesson focusing on
Thanksgiving.
Over and over they thanked us for
Caring enough to come to their
Home on a Sunday afternoon.
Our service had been such a
Simple one, but the sweet senior
Ladies welcomed us so warmly we
Felt like honored guests.
Our speaker expressed our
Feelings, "We came to bless you,
But you blessed us."
And Kent, Beth and I assured them,
"We'll be back."
