Moments of Joy

This past week I had the opportunity to attend a workshop concerning Alzheimer's and Dementia. I have worked with adults and their families in the past living with these diseases and found this workshop amazing. I received practical tips to use myself but also a chance to learn some to offer families seeking advice. Most importantly I was able to attend with 5 other people and learn from them in the break time and car ride real issues to pray about. I was given a glimpse into the life they are living and a chance to see how I as the pastor can be more than the person who preaches on Sunday.

On another note: not only did I listen to the leader for 2.5 hours before I looked at my watch but I did not want to go home. Yes, I admit that there were times that I was analyzing her delivery more than her message in order to find a way to mimic her. But overall the message was uplifting and encouraging and very educational.

I recommend her book and seeing her any time that she is in your area. Here is a link to her website. I hope that you find it helpful.

Also, in case you are looking to check in with what we are up to, an easy way to do that is to check out our church website which my handsome husband has dedicated many hours to updating.

I pray for a happy and fun Thanksgiving holiday for all of you. I'll also pray for rest to come to you and yours in some format.
