A couple weekends ago, I had the opportunity to visit the Grange elderly home with other members of Ross Christian Fellowship. I came in not knowing what to expect.
As we arrived, we were greeted by large mosquitos and a bull mooing loudly. The assistant who was on duty at the home was busy running around attending to the residents. Then we were directed to the back where the residents were seated.
They all seemed inattentive, except one lady who was saying something about her daughter. I was wondering if they would respond as two of the members started playing guitar and we sang a few songs. The first song, they did not respond and kept the same expression on their faces as when we first entered. The second song, one of the ladies slightly popped up her head and with a significant amount of effort tapped her hand on the chair to the music. Then she started tapping with both hands. The man to her right with a disability saw her and then started to shake his hand, almost as if he was seizing. Then he too joined in and started clapping and smiling.
It was a fun experience, and we had a good time fellowshipping with them.
