It would be wonderful if people could take time to visit those in assisted living and nursing homes. So few people do visit.

The saddest story I ever heard was about a woman who was taken to a nursing home by her son. He promised to return to have dinner with her that night. He never returned that night or any time after that.

It is wonderful. It is the joy of serving the Living God.

God can send another to act as if he were her son and comfort her in her affliction. There is deep meaning in the scripture where Jesus, dying on the cross, gave the disciple he loved to be a son to His mother, and His mother to be a mother to the disciple He loved.
