Fear is something that many people downplay or attempt to hide. They might feel like they're being silly or don't want to appear weak in front of others. But the truth is that fear is a natural part of being human, and if you don't have some capacity for being afraid, you can't adapt.
Faith
In Matthew 28:16-20, Jesus conveys the great commission to his disciples. He says that they have been given authority to disciple others in the name of Christ, and that he expects them to go out and do so. In fact, he even tells them where they should do so.
Faith
Rest. The dictionary defines it as a cessation of work. The Bible says that God will go with us and give us rest (Exodus 33:14), and that if we bring our weariness to Jesus, he will give us rest (Matthew 11:28-30).Clearly, rest can mean a lot of different things.
Faith
One of the things you give up when you move into an assisted living community is space. There's no denying that an assisted living apartment is probably smaller than the family home you left (or will leave). There's a reason it's called downsizing. But that's not a bad thing. For many seniors, downsizing is a form of freedom. You keep all the things you need to live an independent, vibrant life, and after a while, you might realize that some of the things from your previous life chapters were acting like weights holding you back.
Faith
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 says, "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." It's a message that repeats itself throughout Scripture. We're supposed to pray constantly, to join and fellowship with God throughout our day. And yet the hustle and bustle of our lives seems to make this difficult.
Faith
Community worship is a part of life at all our Bethesda Senior Living Communities. Seniors of faith residing at these communities can choose to take part in weekly worship opportunities, visits to local churches, devotionals and Bible studies. Many communities also have on-site chaplains to assist with spiritual well-being. As a faith-based organization, we invest in these opportunities because we know there's never a time when Christians are meant to go it alone in this life.
Whether you’re exploring options for yourself or someone you love, our team is here to listen, answer your questions, and help you feel confident about what comes next. Fill out the form and a Bethesda team member will reach out shortly to help you find the right fit for you or your loved one.
