music therapy in the ministry that is Frees

By
Many people who know me know that I have wanted to be a music therapist for a while, and that I'm in school to ultimately accomplish this goal.  The road hasn't been easy, but I have been blessed by God because He has put many wonderful people in my life, and with their help, love and support it will all work out according to His divine will.  Many also know that eventually I hope to expand what is currently only a blog into a support group which will meet not only on the Internet, but also meet in person.  It will be a support group for sufferers of all diseases, and their family members and friends.  Unfortunately, the logistics of this process haven't even come close to being figured out yet, but a thought struck me a few minutes ago.  I think music therapy would be something awesome to incorporate into the ministry once the kinks have been worked out.  I think it will not only bring the gift of healing to the people in the support group, but also to those whose lives we may touch from afar.  As I've said before, please keep me in your prayers, dear friends, as I will keep you in mine.  And please share this blog on your Facebook pages, as the more word gets around about the ministry, the more lives we can touch and hopefully inspire.  God bless you all.

Blessed beyond Measure

By PJ73
Hello to all of you: I know it's been a long while since you have seen any posts from me. But I have been going through a lot. A lot of things have changed in my life. In June 2017, I started taking classes to become a certified Healthcare musician from an online program called Therapy Harp Training program. The website if you are interested is www.therapyharp.com. I am still in that program and doing well. In 2016 I started singing at a nursing home in Lebanon, Tennessee called the Pavillion. Since that time I am singing at five nursing homes at the beginning of each month. I was asked to sing at another nursing home and I'm currently trying to get that set up. I will try to write as often as I can and continue to spread some inspiration and encouragement along the way. I was thinking while I was going over the posts on this blog that I am so blessed beyond measure, hence the title for this post. God has been so good to me in so many ways. He has given me a great family,...

God's Ways are Not Our Ways: Seemingly a Most Unlikely Dwelling Place for the Holy Spirit

By
So when my best friend was diagnosed with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis in November of 2009, I decided to read everything I could get my hands on about the disease. Books were helpful, but I decided I needed to talk with and get to know other people with MS. So I joined a Yahoo email group for people with it, and I learned a lot more. By the time that group fizzled out due to lack of participation, I had, in my view, learned pretty much everything a lay person not in the medical field could learn. I saw a suggested group on Facebook called We're Not Drunk, We Have MS. I also found the Facebook group page for the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation, and I joined that one too. I joined these groups because, knowing what I knew about MS, I wanted to uplift and inspire people with this debilitating disease. People with MS are prone to bouts of depression and hopelessness. That's where I believed, and still believe, that I could help, and the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation...

The treasure of human life

By
This morning I got out of bed and grabbed the clothes I was going to wear for the day. As I left my bedroom, I couldn't help hearing Ray sleeping in the other bedroom across the hall. How peacefully he was sleeping, drawing in long, deep breaths. _He seemed to be holding them in for a couple of seconds before releasing them, as if subconsciously just wanting to hold onto and appreciate every one of them as they came. He seemed to be drinking in the breath of the life that was coursing through his veins, the very breath of the God who made him. With every breath he took in and held, his spirit seemed to be satisfied that this life, and this sleep he was enjoying was created by God to rejuvenate him so that he could go out into the world and be Jesus to the least of these. God had created him, created life, and it was, it is, good. I went into the kitchen and turned on the coffee pot. Then, on the way to my bathroom, I stopped once more to listen to this beautiful, peaceful b...
