the Blessings of being here

#370  Wed. Apr. 8/15, 10:30am, in car 

I come to care for My People.

Stretch out your hands and let Me lift you up.  See in Me your care-giver.

I want to wander through nursing homes and touch each person there.  I want them to know that My Touch is all they need to take them through another day.

Come, join Me and lift up to Me all those in nursing homes.  Let us break free from the fetters that bind us – to a bed, wheelchair, house and be lifted up by My Glorious Words that I want to whisper in your ear. “I Love you.”

It is by far no waste of you time being here in a nursing home.  It may not be where you would choose to be, but let Me show you the blessings of being here.

It seems stark, distasteful, unpleasant being here.  And at first that may be your reaction.  And do you plan to exist with this temperament or do you want to live in joy as you had before?

Well, joy and even more than joy is possible here.

Will you give you over to Me right now and let Me be all for you in this nursing home.

Will you let Me lead you in a deeper prayer life than you have ever had the opportunity to have before?

What you may want is the well-known comforts of home that satisfy your body needs and yearnings.

Yet I have given you a chance to step out of that comfort zone into a new area of your life.

We all think nursing homes are a bad ending to a life.

They are another room in your life experience.  It does not mean the end.  It offers a new opportunity to practice patience with yourself, with Me, with your family.  It offers you an opportunity to look around you and assess all the blessings you have had in your life.

It allows you to look around and ask Me to show you how I want you to bring God into this place.

You may never have had the opportunity to do this before.  Now you have the time to spend more in prayer with Me and praying for all those you meet during the day.

It is a time not for you to look for comfort as much as to strive to be able to comfort with a touch, a word, a gesture, a smile.

All is not lost, even though you seem to be cast off from the ‘outside world’.
