A Special Evening
Thursday when Dad and Mom were out for a walk, they noticed a retirement home. They went in to see if maybe we could play some music that evening for them.
It turned out that the administrator and another man that worked there attended the church where we sang the night before. After all the details were set up, we left, ran a few errands, and came back to set up.
It was a men’s only home, and they greatly enjoyed our music. Many of them were veterans, and Christopher used some stories from Grandad’s Army life to illustrate salvation to them. During America the Beautiful, it was so sweet to see many of the veterans singing along. America truly is the country that they poured their lives out for!
Our hearts were full, and we were very blessed that we were able to minister to those in that home.
This gentleman could have joined right in with us during music, because he was matching as well! These two men are shaking hands to show that they are going to keep each other accountable to reading the Bible every day! “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.†(James 1:27)

I’m sure you all were a blessing to the men at that retirement home. How marvelous the Lord provided that opportunity for you to minister to them! Continued prayers for the Maxwell family. Blessings, Patti M. 🙂
Oh how wonderful!!! What a beautiful home that seems to be and such a great opportunity for sharing God’s love with them!
Dear Maxwells,
That is so wonderful that you had time to minister to our Veterans!! So many people forget about them especially when they live in the VA homes.
May God continue to bless you and all the people that you come in contact with over the next 2 weeks. I am hoping that one day I will be able to attend one of your conferences.
