My Dad's mother has had a series of serious strokes over the past 2 years. Her most recent episode was about 2 months ago and we almost lost her. Recently, Elijah Brooks and I spent about 2 weeks in Montgomery and enjoyed a wonderful visit with family. He absolutely loved going to the Assisted Living Facility where Grandmom is living. He made everyone in that building smile! I heard so many comments from the residents about how they were having such a hard day until they saw Elijah Brooks smile at them. Many said, "he has just made my day". What a ministry this little boy has! What a wonderful way for him to minister to people in need. His Daddy goes on weekly visitations to the shut-ins of our church's congregation and I have decided that Elijah Brooks and I are going to start going with him. It is never too early to teach children about the importance of spending time with the lonely, sick, and brokenhearted in our families and communities. Of course, Grandmom loved holding him and kissing him, and he loved her.
