The True Meaning of Christmas

KristenMeyer 0 6977

Since the beginning of December, so much has happened at Clark Meadows.  It was hard to keep up with our activity’s coordinator and her team.  They planned so many wonderful activities and events.  The magic of the holidays was brought to Clark Meadows in a special way this year with this new team of creative energy.  We have our fun traditions at Clark Meadows, but every year there are moments created that make each year memorable.  It is a time where we do miss those who aren’t with us anymore, but with the help of our activities team we created a lot of busyness, but most importantly joy.  Before we knew it, it was Christmas Eve.   On December 24th some of us gathered for a candlelight service. Residents from Clark Meadows and Ferris Hills participated with readings and musical performances.  We turned on our battery-operated candles as we sang the closing hymn, Silent Night.  It reminded me of candlelight services I attended as a child, but this one was different.  This community touches me as I’m sure it does many of our staff.  The kindness, beauty, and truth that we experience from our elderly give us courage to face life cheerfully.  It is a privilege to work here and participate in the daily lives of our residents.  I took that candle with me that night and it lighted my way home.
