When someone in our church is in the hospital the pastor, deacons and church members drive miles to give comfort to that person and their family. I don’t have a problem with that. That is what we should do. I would expect them to visit me.
What I do have a problem with is when our loved ones are in a nursing home we don’t drive across town to visit them. Even family members tend to forget their loved ones. I guess I just expect more from our church family.
A nursing home is just a home away from home. I have never known of a person who wants to live in one; but tomorrow any of us could be a resident. This is great missions work right [at] our front door and we just don’t realize it.
