Music is good for the soul.
I've always know this statement is true. It is not a new lesson for me. But this week at Edgewood, I have seen it played out in living color and it has been a delight.
Last weekend a baby grand piano was delivered and it sits prominently in the atrium.
The piano is right about in the place of those two small couches. And let me tell you, music has been filling the air. Residents are playing. Our Director is playing. We're having spur-of-the-moment hymn sings. People gather in the atrium, as well as around the balcony upstairs.
It's beautiful.
And what really touched my heart was in Bible study this week, when we were closing in prayer. One woman thanked God (through tears) for the new piano and the joy the music brings to her life.
It's like I said, Music is good for the soul.
P.S. Congratulations to Renee, winner of the From the Trash Pile to the Treasure Chest Bible study!

Leah - It was a huge blessing Friday. As the elevator was broken and most of the second floor residents were 'stuck' - what a joy it was when our favorite piano player came in. The balcony was lined with smiles!
Jodi - Ya know that adage, Music tames the savage beast? I think that was meant for me. Oh, how music calms my heart!
