We were all loaded up early with musicians, instruments, hot coffee and chocolate, lots of fizzy pop, cakes, biscuits and clementines plus boxes of chocolates for the staff. Praise God the roads were almost clear - a far cry from last week. Our team consisted of Jackie, myself, Adina, Bogdan, Peter (Santa), Musicians-Marius, Danny and Elizabeth. Also with us today was Cerbu and a large team from the Osana Children's Home in Timisoara who put on another puppet show and the "Christmas Carol" story before doing some worship songs.
We all arrived early so as to set up everything in plenty of time. There was great excitement in the house as patients and staff arrived for the start of the show. As the puppet show got into full swing, Marius and his team plus Father Christmas toured the locked up wards singing carols and giving out goodies. I too joined them for a while meeting many of the patients who are bedridden. They are God's people and we love them all.
I have never seen such excitement in the house at Mocrea as today. The patients were clapping, singing and many were on their feet dancing at the end. We closed the 2 hour show with more carols led by the musicians. It was a truly blessed morning and we all came away giving thanks that we had been given the opportunity to share much joy with them all as we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour. We are not allowed to take full facial pictures of the patients but here is a taste of the morning.
