WHEN THE PRAISES GO UP...

the Glory comes down!! (an old hymn I used to sing)



And it is the truth! Tuesday we went to Palm City Nursing and Rehab Center - and

we were met with such enthusiasm - by a woman, who, according to the nursing

staff there, hasn't spoken a single word in almost one year!



Geraldine saw us coming in the front door, and she began to sing out very loudly-

"you are here to sing to me, m...e......me! Praises to God! you are here to

sing to me, m...e... me!"



It was wonderful and encouraging and joyful and we did rejoice!!!!



Sometimes, you go through all the motions, doing what God instructed you to do,

and you wonder, am I making any difference?



To Geraldine, the hour or so we spend with her, singing and sharing the word of God

with her, is having profound effect on her physically and spiritually! Where once, there

was a sense of waiting - waiting for her to "pass on", there is new LIFE as she praises

God with us every Tuesday morning!



WHEN THE PRAISES GO UP! THE GLORY COMES DOWN!

Praise God Almighty, His word is a HEALING word! Daily reading of the word of

God is not drudgery! Daily reading of that living word brings LIFE to us! Just

ask Geraldine and the folks at Palm City Nursing and Rehab Center.



Till next time, Remember NO MATTER WHAT THE SITUATION, GOD CAN TURN THE TIDE!!!
