Resurrection RemembranceDuring all the festivities of Easter, we encourage everyone to takesome time and think about the importance of this celebration.Easter is more than bunnies and hunting for eggs—it is aremembrance of Christ’s resurrection. In fact this could be themost important season of all for Christians; it is because of Hisdeath and resurrection that believers are offered the gift of eternalsalvation. God’s love is limitless and mercy endures forever. It isour prayer that everyone who celebrates Easter makes Christ apart of the festivities.

Easter GreetingsAs we celebrate Easter on April 16, 2017, the staff of RustonNursing & Rehab would like to wish each and every one of you avery happy holiday. We hope this season is filled with peace and joy.

Happy Birthday!Our staff would like to “eggstend” birthday wishes to all our

residents having a birthday this month.Hope it’s Eggstra-Special!

Please Don’t Throw That Down!Many of our residents enjoy a cigarette every now and then, but ourgrounds, I assure you, don’t. If you or one of your guests have beenguilty of throwing butts on the ground or emptying your ashtray outin the parking lot, please be aware that this is causing quite anunsightly mess for us all. It would only take a second to use an ashtrayor a bucket to throw those butts in. Our staff and your fellow residentswill be much appreciative and you will be helping to keep ourcommunity clean!

PeaceThere once was a King who offered a prize tothe artist who would paint the best picture ofpeace. Many artists tried. The King looked atall the pictures, but there were only two hereally liked and he had to choose betweenthem.

One picture was of a calm lake. The lakewas a perfect mirror, for peaceful toweringmountains were all around it. Overhead was ablue sky with fluffy white clouds. All whosaw this picture thought that it was a perfectpicture of peace.

The other picture had mountains, too. Butthese were rugged and bare. Above was anangry sky from which rain fell and in whichlightning played. Down the side of themountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. Thisdid not look peaceful at all. But when theKing looked, he saw behind the waterfall atiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. Inthe bush a mother bird had built her nest.There, in the midst of the rush of angry water,sat the mother bird on her nest... perfectpeace.

Which picture do you think won the prize? The King chose the second picture. "Because,"explained the King, "peace does not mean tobe in a place where there is no noise, trouble,or hard work. Peace means to be in the midstof all those things and still be calm in yourheart. That is the real meaning of peace." —Author Unknown
