From the Desk of Nurse Marsha....

Last month was our 2nd annual “Morning on the Beach with Jesus”. As I was preparing for this event, I could hear the birds singing, even with it being 15 degrees or less! Stop and listen. Can you hear the birds singing? March is recognized as the month of Spring (Ok, maybe we’ll have to be patient!), National Nutrition Month, and Lent. This month I would like to share a poem written by one of our parishioners, Minnie Karchinski. I would also like to share the Healing Prayer.

Let’s focus on being refreshed and forgiven by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

“A NEW DAY”
AWAKENED BY DAWNS EARLY LIGHT
STARTING THE DAY A NEW.
IS A BEAUTIFUL RED ROSE
REFRESHED BY THE MORNINGS DEW.

DAILY CHORES ALL DAY LONG
NEWS ON THE RADIO FROM AFAR
WHILE BIRDS ARE SINGING THEIR SONG
THE WORLD KEEPS HUMMING ALONG.
NOW COMES THE DARKNESS OF NIGHT
WHEN ALL STARTS HIDING FROM SIGHT.
LISTEN! HOW THE QUIET HURTS THE EAR
IT’S THIS KIND OF LONELINESS I FEAR.

I SAY MY PRAYERS AT BEDTIME
HOPING THIS ACHE IN MY HEART
WILL SOON FADE AWAY.
THEN JUST LIKE THE ROSE; I’LL BE
REFRESHED TO START A NEW DAY.
