...love and care for them...

"You care of others and you do not care for me" an elderly woman said to me this morning. This is the everyday happening that I encountered. Often a person doesn't remember about me being there for him or her.

A good and loving heart is really needed to help the elderly individuals.

...do we have time for other?

An elderly woman said to me today. "How do I get myself happier?" She continued by saying, "Is God looking at my suffering?"

The two questions are not easy to answer, I just listened to her while she talked and talked.

I believe that this elderly woman just needs someone to talk and to listen to her.

She said to me, "Thank you for your time and listening to me."

..God give me strength"

"I am not well today with this suffering, it is hard for me." "Each day, I struggled to get up from my bed but I made it." She concluded, "God give me the strength." What an inspiring incident that I encountered today.

Story from 92 year old elderly woman.

...it is sad...

"He is looking at me." "No, he is looking at me." This 99 year old woman was very terrified when I approached. It is very sad to see this happening because yesterday she was able to talk and to recognize me. Unfortunately,today she has the fear to look at me. This is the daily ministry situation that I encountered each day.

"it is miracle...

Yesterday, 15 elderly individuals attended the peaceful hand drumming. The drumming took place outside under a huge tree.
A lady in her 90s who seldom speaks to anyone, yesterday she sang and the others were very surprised. I was overjoyed seeing her! "It is a miracle, it was the first time I ever heard her."

Picture will be posted soon!

...patience is needed each day...

"He is staring at me, he is staring at me" a 99 year old woman was referring to me. It happened while I was talking and I was looking at her. She was very afraid but I told her, "It is me, the person who played the drum with you." She replied, "the drum" and I said yes the drum. She finally smiled to me.

"what can an old lady like me do anymore?"

This morning a woman who is in her 90s said, "what can an old lady like me do anymore?" She walked very slow and get help from her friend. I responded to her, "we are all getting old." But she said, "while touching my face, she said you are very young." I know this woman referred very much on the "age" aspect but I was very fortunate to have talked with her. A woman with many experiences in her life!
