Amber, my grand daughter and I went to the nursing home for a visit today. I think it is called Lake Bennet Nursing home. It is over by Walmart in Ocoee. I have been going there for about 2 years. Amber handed out about 40 cookies and cakes today and wished each one a Merry Christmas while I took pictures.
It did not matter how much dementia they may have, they knew what a smile was and what a cookie was. Amber hugged some of the people. Some of the ladies grabbed Amber first for a hug.
This is Mamie, she has MS and is blind, we go to see her everytime. She is expecting a miracle healing. We bought her a new cd player a few months ago, and she listens to all the teachings and music we bring her. She is a wonderful woman of God, all she talks about is Jesus!
Some of the people struggle to grab the cakes, but they eventually got it.
Everyone was so greatful, it brings tears to your eyes to see how humble these poor forgotten people are. 90% of all people in the nursing homes receive no visits from family members.
Everyone relates to a child here in the nursing homes, Children, for the most part are not afraid, and the people feel their total acceptance. I hope to see some of you go to nursing homes near you and touch lives. God Bless!
