A Small Rain

Small Rain, a vintage book with favorite Bible verses and delightful illustrations of children at play. It's no longer found on library shelves. (I wonder what has replaced it.)
A caregiver shares it with elderly patients and most often they receive "showers of blessings".

Small Rain, by Jessie Orton Jones
From Viking Press 1966.

My doctrine shall drop as the rain,
My speech shall distill as the dew,
As the small rain upon the tender herb,
And as the showers upon the grass. Deuteronomy 32:2

Ezekiel 34:26 ...there will be showers of blessing.

A heart for a family member with Dementia

There's dementia information available for care givers on the web. Read from Teepa Snow, the Occupational Therapist, and what she has said in her article, The Living Gems. She's on Youtube too. (For the gem you know).

Proverbs 31: 10-31

10. Her price is far above rubies. 11. The heart of her husband does safely trust. 12. She will do him good. 13. She seeks the wool and flax. 14. She brings her food from afar. 15. She rises while it is yet night. 16. She considers a field. 17. She girds her loins with strength. 19. She lays her hands to the spindle. 20. She stretches out her hands to the poor. 21. She's not afraid of the snow for her household. 22. She makes herself coverings. 23. Her husband is known. 24. She makes fine linen and sells it. 25. She rejoices. 26. She opens her mouth with wisdom. In her tongue is the law of kindness. 27. She eats not the bread of idleness. 28. Her children rise up and call her blessed. 29. She excels. 30. A woman that fears the Lord. 31. Give her the fruit of her hands.
