Seniors

Last Sunday we spoke at a Senior’s Home chapel. Their pastor, Rudy Willms, was the pastor of the church where I attended with my family all through my childhood. About 70 seniors parked their strollers or walked in or rolled in on wheelchairs to participate. They want to know what God is doing in Brazil. Later we had to stay for coffee and snacks. There are so many interesting stories. This fellow in the photo below is 92 or 94 years old. He was a farmer in Saskatchewan until his wife died. Finally he moved to this home to be close to some family. What should he do with his time, now that he was off the farm? At 88 years old he started playing the violin. Now he often plays in the chapel services, and everyone says he plays really well. He started learning at 88! He also knits hats for poor people in the North Country, for MCC!
