This was sent to me from a friend. I hope you get as many chuckles from this lady as I did.

This lady, a resident of a retirement community, was asked to give the invocation at a dinner/convention of retirement community managers. She does so, but then decides to add a few words of her own as a part of her invocation. Enjoy!

i DID enjoy it. thanks for sharing. if anyone enjoyed the poem at the end, i found it on the web:
Caregiver


Blessed are they who understand
my faltering step and shaking hand.

Blessed, who know my ears today
must strain to catch the things they say.

Blessed are they who seem to know
my eyes are dim and my mind is slow.

Blessed are they who looked away,
I spilled my tea on the cloth that day!

Blessed are they who, with cheery smile,
stopped to chat for a little while.

Blessed are they who know the way
to bring back memories of yesterday.

Blessed are they who never say,
“You’ve told that story twice today!”

Blessed are they who make it known
that I’m loved, respected and not alone.

And blessed are they who will ease the days
of my journey home, in loving ways.

Another Beatitude

By Elizabeth Clark

She made me laugh. I see myself in her words.

I loved it! If we haven't done those things yet, we will soon. She speaks for all of us.
