Romans 12:12

Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

Dear Heavenly Father:

It’s hard to imagine a world without stress. In its good form, it pushes us toward accomplishment. In its bad form, it damages our mental health. Into our stressful lives you gift us with patience, a trust in You for all things. Help us grow in our trust that with you no problem is unsolvable, no Godly challenge insurmountable. Jesus takes away our bad stress with his presence and his gentle invitation to trust. Amen!

We see God’s goodness in moments like these — when families gather, embrace, and spend time together. Resident Steve’s heart was full this week as his twin children and grandchildren surprised him with a visit he deeply cherished.

Remember to visit your friends and loved ones this holiday season, especially those in senior care communities, as it brings great joy that means the world!

St. James neighborhood was full of intergenerational joy as residents and children came together for Play-Doh fun and creative imagination. More than play — it was connection. Story-sharing. Bond-building. Smiles that spanned generations. These are the moments that fill our home with life.

Our residents led a full-campus turkey hunt today — complete with “wanted” posters, hidden turkeys, and clues tucked everywhere you can imagine! They tracked them down one by one, sharing plenty of laughs (and even a few hunting stories) along the way.

Big thanks to our culinary team, who handled the real turkeys and served up a delicious Thanksgiving meal for everyone to enjoy.

We’re grateful for a Thanksgiving filled with joy, fellowship, and the simple blessings God gives through community.

Residents at Eden Acres Campus enjoyed beautiful Christmas songs led by Randy “Doc” McCaulley. His music filled the room with joy, memories, and the warmth of Christ’s love this season.

What a meaningful way to begin celebrating the birth of our Savior together. Thank you, Doc, for sharing your gift with our residents!

Colossians 4:2
Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.

Dear Heavenly Father:

The days after family gatherings are burdened with a range of emotions. Residual joy and spontaneous smiles, relief, perhaps even regret and ache from things said or unsaid or from people missing. Be with us on this ‘day-after’ that we might remain thankful to You for family, living or dead. You have recognized the strength of families and work hard to make our vocations as father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, obviously special and reflections of Your bond with us. With faith in Jesus, we have family with God. It’s the day after, keep us thankful still and always! Amen.

There are so many moments at PLH where God’s presence feels especially close — and this is just a glimpse of one of them.

Resident Judy and PLH staffer Jennifer held hands and sang You Raise Me Up, filling the room with praise, peace, and God’s love.

Just moments earlier, Judy’s singing and sweet embrace moved one of our staff members to tears — a powerful reminder of how deeply these moments matter and how meaningful resident–staff relationships can be, especially in our walk of faith.

Thank you to Kile Jackson for sharing your music with us and helping foster the kind of connection only God can create.

And to Judy — keep shining the light of Christ! ✨

Today we’re especially grateful for the blessings of this day and thankful for YOU—our residents, families, staff, volunteers, and friends who make Perry Lutheran Homes so special. ♥ Wishing you a blessed and happy Thanksgiving!

Our November “Eats with Essie” was filled with stories, laughter, and meaningful conversation.

Residents Reva and Janice C. were treated to a lunch of their choice! Reva shared memories from her years as a bartender and her time caring for tenants at the Woodward Resource Center. Janice reflected on her 45-year nursing career at Mercy Hospital in Des Moines — a job she truly loved. We also enjoyed looking through old photos together, sparking even more reminiscing and smiles.

Reva’s daughter Lana joined in, as did PLH Director of Nursing, Buffy, making the afternoon even more special.

Kwik Star once again blessed us with a delicious lunch. Thank you to manager Bella and her dedicated team for providing wonderful meals — a burger with potato wedges for Janice, and roasted chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy for Reva. They enjoyed every bite!

Grateful for another beautiful time together.

Weary Ramblers filled the Perry Performing Arts Center with rich folk tunes and a stellar performance on Sunday. A group of our Spring Valley tenants enjoyed every moment of the show. What a blessing to have a beautiful arts center in our community—and the opportunity to experience live music together! 🎶

Matthew 7:24-27
“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”

Dear Heavenly Father:

Jesus promises to be with us always, and everywhere. Bless our homes that we might be protected from evil and be constantly reminded of Your presence in our lives, no matter our space. In Jesus, and with Him! Amen.
