MINISTERING TO THE MENTALLY CHALLENGED
Many of us will have to deal with the scourge of dementia. I recently read an article written on ministering to dementia patients. A passage that stood out for me was this:
"...I may not be able to affirm you, to remember who you are or whether you visited me. But you have brought Christ to me. If I enjoy your visit, why must I remember it? Why must I remember who you are? Is this just to satisfy your own need for identity? So please allow Christ to work through you. Let me live in the present. If I forget a pleasant memory, it does not mean it was not important for me. .’
No matter the outward appearance of a persons mental state, we should always assume that although 'the lights are out, there may still be someone at home'.
If you want to read the whole article, see it on my friend's blog by clicking the following link: Communion & Dementia.
