As we finished visits and work in Michigan earlier this week, the snow and ice storm struck our home in Tennessee on Monday. When life gives you unexpected snowstorms, what do you do? Create a friendly family competition!
Since Agape opened, we have sought to give a Bible or New Testament to each patient on their day of discharge. One of the therapists writes a note in the front and presents it to them along with encouragement to read it.
