Today in class we spoke about memories. This was a great exercise we did in class. I didn't realize how hard it is to share memories. However this was a great time to get to know a little something about everyone in the class.
My sad memory is when I go to the nursing home that I volunteer at and find out that one of the elderly residents passed away. My church, family, and I volunteer once a month at a nursing home on the southeast side of town once a month. I believe I have blogged about this before. We bring the residents goodies keep them company and share a little bit of the bible with them. There are residents that really look forward to this time of month. The reason is cause they are lonely or just don't have family at all or their family just does not go visit them. There was this resident who every little fellowship we had he was the first one and would sit in the front row. Never failed he was always in the front. This pass month of September my children and I got there a little late and noticed he wasn't there. We asked my mom where is he she said " he has gone to be with Jesus". It was really sad he suddenly got sick and passed away in the hospital. This makes me realize how precious life is cause one day your here then the next day your gone. The good thing about this story is that he accepted Christ in his heart:)
