It is always a joy when the shut-ins are finished for the month - even when it comes on the last day. Not as in "well, got through that again" but in the sense of joy that comes from visiting with these home-bound saints. I feel positively rejuvinated from spending time with them. I wish that it were possible to see them more than once a month, but I know better than to try. Too many other things come up that have to be dealt with. Still at least once a month I get the joy of visiting with them, sharing with them from the Word, and bringing them our Lord's body and blood.
Elva, Louis and Ella, Ruth, Wilma, Fred, Alma, Noel, Marvin and Agnes, Frieda, Frederick and Alfred.
Thirteen precious saints of God. They no longer can gather with us as part of the St. Paul's family in worship, but that worship comes to them, enwraps them, and reminds them they are STILL members of our family and that we love them. May God bless each one these home-bound saints!
