Presbyterian Senior Living : Blog
Giving voice to the topics that mean the most to those who matter the most.
The Christmas season is marked by the giving of gifts. While this is a wonderful tradition, for many it has become a source of stress as an expense and the need to think of something appropriate for everyone on your list. From my perspective, gift giving should be a source of joy for the person giving the gift as well as the receiver. To help you to understand my outlook on gift giving, I would like to provide you with a few of the insights I have gained over the years.

The green wave of making buildings more environmentally safe is taking the senior living industry by storm. According to 2012 big data reported by Energy Star, a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) program, Americans have saved a total of $24 billion on utility bills and have prevented gas emissions equal to that of 41 million vehicles. This kind of savings will only increase over the next few years, putting less strain on our wallets and protecting the earth for generations to come.

Presbyterian Senior Living (PSL) is pleased to partner with Milagro House of Lancaster and the Lancaster County Council of Churches to provide used vehicles to selected program participants. In the past, PSL residents or their family members have offered to donate vehicles for use at our communities. On occasion, we have gratefully accepted some of these generous offers; but depending on the PSL community and its needs, it hasn’t always been appropriate for the campus to put them to use. Now, through this new partnership, the vehicle can be donated through PSL to benefit the Milagro House participants.

Say the word “stewardship” and most people immediately envision charitable giving, dropping off food for the poor, tithing at church, and serving others with time, talent and treasure. In its fullest sense though, stewardship encompasses a much broader philosophy, going beyond mere acts of sharing or nurturing, while still embracing both.

In the past few years I have had the opportunity to visit Central America and Africa to witness first hand the hardship and desperation that people in other parts of the world endure as a part of their daily lives. This is more than seeing the aftermath of a natural disaster, like an earthquake or flood. It is an ongoing reality for millions of people in the world.

Over the past 20 years I have had the opportunity to write extensively about the work of Presbyterian Senior Living, leadership, and other topics related to serving seniors. In recent years we have often discussed launching a blog as another avenue to communicate with those seeking services for themselves and their family members as well as those working in the field. As I have contemplated this new initiative, several questions came to mind: Given the amount of information available using electronic media, does the world really need another blog? If the answer to the first question is yes, what are the goals of this new blog, and how will it differ from others that focus on serving seniors?
