Summer Fun at Atria LG

We had an incredible time sharing Summer Fun songs together today at Atria LG. Our team (Catherine, Pam, Patricia, Shelly, Tamera, Paul, & Karen) was joined by some dear friends from Liberty Vineyard Church (Kelsey, Faith, & Declan), as we came alongside residents and staff alike to celebrate the blessings of summer and music and fun! Not shown on camera was the joy that appeared on each and every face, with no exceptions (this is highly unusual in any memory care residence)! Not shown on camera were the several residents who got to their feet to dance along to some of the livelier tunes. Many knew the words and joined in singing with gusto. All of the residents donned their cool sunglasses (thanks to Catherine’s generosity!), and beach balls were thrown around the room with great delight. Everyone was truly refreshed and encouraged – God’s blessings are always good and always given with generosity. Freely we have all received, freely it is our joy to give!

Jeremiah 17:7b-8 (The Message) – “Blessed is the man who trusts me, God, the woman who sticks with God … Never a worry through the hottest of summers, never dropping a leaf, serene and calm through droughts, bearing fresh fruit every season.”
