We attended a funeral service this afternoon for a resident of our building that passed on to Heaven. She lived with us for nearly 6 months. During that short time, we got to know her and even more - love her. Her family became ours and we loved and cared for them as well.

She was a true warrior for Christ and wasn’t afraid to tell you the cold, hard truth of Jesus’s love for you. She didn’t hold back but spoke every word with love.

Some of her favorite sayings that we could never hear enough of were, “I love you, but Jesus loves you more” and “do they pay you to smile like that?” and “are you crazy?”

I miss her. I know her family misses her.

If you were able to squeeze into the doors of the funeral home today to attend the service, you know.. there was barely even standing room left.

Every chair was filled. The aisles were filled with people standing. The overflow room was filled. Extra chairs were plucked from other rooms to ensure those who couldn’t stand for the entire service, had a place to sit and rest.

As I looked around and seen the mass amount of folks who came to say give their respects to her and family, I was moved. Moved because each and every one of those people had been blessed by her at some point in time or another. Her impact left such an impression on so many that even many years later, her touch was still felt.

She left a legacy. A legacy that speaks of Gods love. She never passed up an opportunity to share the love He had given her with others. Her impact will live on for generations.

This is how we should all wish we are remembered. We should want to be remembered by hundreds for the love we freely give to each person. We should want to have the chairs, aisles, and overflow rooms filled with the people who we hope to leave an impression on.

When we wake up tomorrow morning, on your way to work or out to do errands.. make sure you share God with someone. Leave someone better than you found them and the easiest way to do that, is share God’s love.

We were PROUD to have these high school kids who are participating in a community service project, come and hang out at our building today!

These students:

- played BINGO
- helped residents pick out and try on Halloween costumes
- helped decorate for our Halloween party
- helped prepare candy bags for tomorrow
- served our residents lunch and drinks
- played horseshoes with our residents

But most importantly, they spent TIME with our community.. they got to know the residents and the assignment was to learn something from the generations we are privileged to serve.

Our residents absolutely loved having these kids in the building and have extended a lasting invitation to each of the students to come back!

It’s a testament to the teachers and these children’s parents - we had the most respectful group of teenagers here today. They were ready and willing to jump in to help and open up their hearts to our residents.

Thank you from the bottom of our heart for allowing the kids to come and for choosing our building 🤍

Our beautiful friend has been called home. It was a privilege and honor to be able to care for and love on Margaret.

Please be in prayer with us for her family and friends.

She was born on June 18, 1936, in Ainsworth, Nebraska to the Reverend Jens Christian....

We took a BIG trip to Springfield today to attend the Golden Age Games hosted by our good friends at MHCA.

We did great and we can’t wait to share our stories from today.. but first, it’s crucial we give credit where credit is due!

Thank you Stan Beasley for donating snacks and drinks for our residents! Today’s trip could have gone sour if we had all went hungry but you’re our hero and we want to send an extra special THANK YOU for your support and delicious donation! 👏🏼 ys

Apparently, today is national Boss’s Day..

I arrived back to the building and had a few visitors and this beautiful gift waiting for me.

Haley also had a very beautiful arrangement for her as well.

As a leader, I am privileged to lead such a great team. A leader can ONLY be as successful as their team and I am PROUD to be a tiny part of our family 🤍
