These last two weeks were filled with resident bell choir performances for the holidays. In one of the facilities I work in this is the third year we have performed, in the other facility this is a brand new choir and their first performance. It was wonderful. I get such a sense of joy and peace when I watch the reactions of the other residents and staff who come to these performances. In addition, the adoration and praise that the members of the choir get is wonderful to see as well. To watch the faces of older adults, many whom often don’t get enough attention, is heart warming.
I think the bell choir performances are one of my favorite events that we have at the facilities in which I work. I try to have one of these concerts at least 3-4 times a year. So after the holidays are over my choirs will be gearing up for St. Patrick’s Day!
