Recently I have been searching for what to do next ..as in What do you want next, God?
I mostly have just played the piano and organ for church, but was encouraged by several of my 4Marks friends www.4Marks.com to play locally at rest homes, etc. So, I contacted a retirement/assisted living home and have been playing the piano on Friday afternoons. Since it has been the Christmas season, once in a while, they sing along with me. At choir practice I recruited 3 ladies to sing Christmas carols, and we had a lot of fun.
One lady, who is nearly 90, just move here a few weeks ago from Florida. She is nearly blind now, but she can still harmonize, (acapella, Let It Snow!) even though she has COPD, which I think is lung problems of some sort. She used to sing for the USO, blues, jazz and really LOVES music. We end up talking for a least 30 minutes after everyone else has gone.
I really don’t know what God is up to as far as music goes, but I do have another new Mom. My own mother is going to be 85 soon, and she lives too far away..500 miles. I guess God is just mixing us up a little. My mother has some great neighbors that have “adopted” her, as I guess I have adopted Dorothy.Patrice
