Joy will find a way… weekly quotes on bringing joy
Have you ever thought that Menno Place staff are a vessel through which others receive joy?
Giving joy-filled moments to our residents is one of the most satisfying aspects of working with people in need of support. We are a conduit through which joy flows. Each day, our staff make choices that create opportunities for joy. They open the door to smiles, delight, feeling valued and feeling loved.
Joy. It’s one of the greatest gifts we give to our residents – and its ours to give freely – in times of sorrow and times of delight. In 1974, Bruce Cockburn’s wrote a song – Joy Will Find A Way
Do you think joy will find a way?
This past week, our chaplains spoke at numerous funerals (please pray for our chaplains and interns as they journey alongside residents and families at life’s end). They share how deeply grateful the families are for the loving, skilled caring received by their loved one here at Menno Place.
As one family moved through transition into dementia with their mother, they shared their hesitancy about moving her from one unit to another – and yet, their mother was grateful in her new unit even as she slipped further into dementia. They thanked the staff for the care.
Another spoke of the professionalism and dedication of the staff. Their father received excellent care. They were grateful.
Another was supported through their deep friendships in the apartments. The friends were grieving.
Joy. It’s been making a way here at Menno Place since 1953.
It’s making it’s way today – through our staff, through our resident… and through YOU.
What a gift you are, what a gift you bring!
