Day Five

Today's Scripture

Genesis 12:1-7 - The Promise

Today's Activity - Visit a Retirement Village or Nursing Home

Just as Abraham and Sarah were elderly, but still an important part of God’s plan, so too are the elderly and homebound. The holidays can be a most difficult time of the year for the elderly and homebound. Often in the hustle and bustle of this season, they are forgotten. Take some time to talk to your children about the wonderful lives these people have lived, the history they have experienced, and remind them that God loves these people. Help your children express God’s love and their respect and honor with a visit to your local retirement village or nursing home to deliver Christmas cards to the residents. If your children are musical, offer to come and sing carols or play your instruments for the residents. Remember to call ahead and get approval from the manager or activities director, as well as find out a time that best suits the resident’s schedule.
