Chums and Choices First Row: Ruth Bartholomew, Jennifer Smith Second Row: Raquel Largent,John Warnshuis, Wendi White As in any ministry, students who visit the nursing homes have the opportunity to make an eternal difference in the lives of the elderly. It is an in- credible joy to hear the residents say "I love you" and to hear of their dependence on the friend- ship of their faithful Cedarville visitors. Students find that the valuable time spent with the elderly gradually changesfrom an obligation to a desire — a desire to share the Christ-like love felt for the elderly in such a way that the elderly may also know the same love and come to know Christ as Savior. The atmosphere in the nursing home seems to change after a while, or maybe it is the student's perspective that changes. The eyes of the elderly are no longer empty,and their faces no longer lack expression. Instead,eyes of love and faces which sparkle with joy greet the students each week. Students often become the only "family" to many of the residents, and they are missed greatly when they leave.
