Elders – the scent of a Spirit filled life

Elders – the scent of a Spirit filled life

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what it means to be transformed into the likeness of Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18).

We are being transformed from the inside out and reflecting God’s heart and nature like a mirror. I’m also quite … [Read more...] about Elders – the scent of a Spirit filled life

Supporting elderly seniors during the COVID-19 pandemic

With more than 700 seniors residing on our campus-of-care, there is a wide range of interactions and levels of supporting elderly seniors from families during this COVID-19 pandemic. As I write this today, we have reached 100 days of lockdown. This has meant there have been no visitors in the long-term care homes, and only socially distanced visits for those who live in … [Read more...] about Supporting elderly seniors during the COVID-19 pandemic
