At our homeschoolers party on Tuesday we made cards to be delivered to the Christian Care Senior Living Community. When the kids were younger we would visit the location in Gunter, TX. But that one was closed a few years ago, however just recently they have opened a new facility in Allen.
The Christian Care centers are sponsored by Churches of Christ and were initially established to provide an affordable place for ministers, elders and their spouses to retire. Many smaller congregations don't have retirement plans for their ministers. The Christian Care centers also provide a place where Godly like-minded individuals can continue to worship and fellowship just as they did when they served in the local congregations. It's a great ministry.
Today we met up with the Hunt family and handed out our cards and visited with the residents of the center. It is such a small world in the Lord's body. We met a gentlemen, Rayburn who was the brother to a gentleman we worshiped with for years in Owasso, Ok. We met another man whose daughter attends the congregation in Broken Arrow where I grew up. Still another couple we met were the great-grandparents to one of my Bible Bowlers! It was really great to visit with the residents and something we will do again soon!
The LORD stands guard over the stranger; he supports both widows and orphans, but makes the path of the wicked slippery. Psalm 146:9
