Valentine's Day Program

Today I went to a nursing home. I used to be very, very uncomfortable with nursing home residents, but it's gotten much easier to associate with them. They love it when our homeschool group puts on a program every Valentine's Day! Even though we were a little late this year, a few residents managed to applaud our efforts.

One elderly man, when we were singing and walking among the audience, said to me, "You have a warm heart." Later we walked down the halls to give treats to the residents who weren't able to make it to the program. One lady was astounded that we had something for her! She loved it! Another lady didn't know if she wanted anything. She ached all over, and there was nothing else to it. She ached all over, and she didn't think she'd like Chex mix. We gave her some anyway, hoping she'd feel better soon so that she could enjoy it.

Because of the weather and other reasons, we had a very small gathering. However, it was very enjoyable, and we all had fun.
