I was able to spend some time last week visiting some of our shut-ins. I don’t get around as much as I want to but I’ll consistently, dutifully try and cheer up folks, and then find myself more encouraged than they are.

I was struck by the fact that they pray for me and my family daily. I was impressed how much they were thankful for God’s faithfulness, and for the love they received from our church – visits, cards, flowers. But man, it seems tough, lonely and discouraging being old, alone and in a nursing home. We need to keep showing these folks love.
