God put it on my soul to begin a Bible study at a Senior Citizen home. I procrastinated inquiring into this for over 3 weeks. I finally made the phone call when everytime I bowed my head to pray I heard the words "You haven't obeyed me". So yesterday I looked up homes, found one and called. The activities director called me back today. She was so excited. She just started working at this place, and is trying to get activities scheduled for the seniors. I asked her if the home is okay with a Bible study and she is thrilled and said the seniors will be thrilled. She wanted to meet with me next week, so I scheduled to meet her next Tuesday morning. I almost forgot, she wanted to put this on the books asap, so I asked her what day works best. She said Friday mornings. That is the one morning a week I do not watch my grandson. It's just amazing to sit and watch God at work. I know this is so obvious that ofcourse everything will work out if God is the one in charge, but it is still so awesome to see the supernatural at work.
Anyway, I am up for all suggestions including some ideas of what to cover. I was thinking of simply doing Bible reading and discussions, no other materials. I know that most likely the participation will probably be limited to listening. My grandmother is in a nursing home in MO and I know that most cannot hold up a book and read, also writing is most likely a challenge for most, so anything will have to be pretty much done for them.
Thanks for all ideas!
Oh, I also discussed this with my ladies Bible study class tonight and there are already 2 women that want to help, so I don't have to try and do this all alone. God has blessed me greatly with this church I go to.
