(Singing "Days of Elijah" and reciting Colossians 3:1-4) 
We went with our homeschool group to an Assisted Living Center this afternoon. Once a month our little group has "Share Day" and this year we are doing it not just for each other, but to hopefully bless others as well. But I have to say, I was in turn very blessed myself. What a neat experience to see the joy on the faces of these elderly ones! They clapped after every child shared something, whether a song, poem, Scripture, etc...

Then the sweetest time was visiting with them afterwards. And so neat for me to watch my kids take Ashlyn around to meet everyone. (A few months ago Tiffany shared with me how when she learns to drive......still 6 years away.......she wants to take Ashlyn with her and they will go visit the elderly at places like this....and I saw a glimpse of that today.) Even Zach who is more introverted took his baby sister around to meet people, and he would've had a harder time doing it just by himself. 
My favorite pics of the day. Watching this sweet lady & Ashlyn interact. 
We look forward to going back again. The event coordinator there today said that the hour spent there will make their week! My grandmother is in a similar place as this down in Florida, and it sure made me wish she was nearby so we could visit her more often.

I love this Abby. It reminded me that we need to start going again to our little center near here. Love the memories.
