I Saw God Today!

I just got back from Sterling, it's an Alzheimer's Hospital in our city. Once a month a group of people go visit the patients that live there.

For the last two days I have been battling a really bad migraine, in fact it was so bad I missed William's birthday party yesterday. :(

This morning I woke up and I knew I needed to go to the Sterling Hospital, no matter how I felt.

When we walked in, the old folks were in their own world as usual. As we began to sing some old hymns you could see their minds become more clear. Some of them began to rock back and forth, and some clapped their hands and smiled.

One woman name Vonnie never responds to voice or touch, but this one song reached her spirit. She began to snap her fingers and it appeared she wanted to sing and dance.

Another elderly man began dancing, he couldn't help himself. The joy of the Lord was overflowing in that hospital today! When he finished dancing, he said "I just had to join in with the brothers and sisters, I haven't done that in so long".

I felt such joy and happiness, nothing in life can bring that kind of joy except the love of God!

I saw God today, as He moved in the hearts of everyone in that hospital room, including one of the nursing staff who was holding back tears.

So today is a reminder, we all have a spirit that has a need to reach out and touch the heart of God!

He is there, we just need to move toward Him. -Selah
