As unto the LORD

Every Wednesday morning several women from the church and myself go to a nursing home and have a gospel sing along. There are about 45 people who come to this service. We have both men and women. They love singing. We sing fast songs slow songs...choruses. We also have a little 9 year old home schooled gal that comes and helps direct the singing. They love Sophia!
There is a man named Bob, that comes each week. He loves to keep time with the music by clapping. AND AMAZINGLY ENOUGH he is always manages to have the right beat. It doesn't matter whether the song is fast or slow...he keeps perfect time by clapping. Today he wheeled right up by the piano and stayed there the whole. This is unusual because he usually wheels all over the area. We had been singing for about 25 minutes. He looked up at me and shouted out..."You are a good woman, you are good lady, a good woman." I looked over and before I could say, "thank you," he had
hung his head over and went promptly to sleep. The girls and I had a good laugh.

On the way home I was thinking...'how easy it is to say, "God you're a good God," and then promptly go to sleep spiritually. We sometimes fail to understand that God wants us to share His good-ness with others. We come into contact with people every day that need to see how "good" God is. Bob had a good excuse. He is on medication. He had been clapping hard for 25 minutes and he has dementia. I had to ask myself..."Audrey, what is your excuse for telling God how good He is and then falling asleep on the job of sharing Him with the world I live in?"
