🦃✨ Happy Thanksgiving from Bethany Life! ✨🦃

On this day of gratitude, we want to pause and thank God for the blessings He continues to pour over our residents, families, staff, and community.

At Bethany Life, we are reminded every day that our work is a calling. We are here to serve, to love, and to care in the way Christ first showed us. Today we are especially grateful for the relationships we share, the stories we hear, and the compassion that fills our halls. ❤️

As we gather with loved ones, may we all remember the goodness of the Lord and the joy that comes from a thankful heart.
“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever.” Psalm 107:1

From our Bethany Life family to yours,
🍁❤️ Happy Thanksgiving! ❤️🍁

Today we had the honor of celebrating Veterans Day with our residents. 🇺🇸

We held a special pinning ceremony to recognize and thank the veterans who call Bethany Life home. Each pin was a small token of our deep gratitude for their courage, sacrifice, and service to our country.

We were also blessed to hear from two meaningful speakers:

Chad Cook, retired Army National Guard officer, Afghanistan veteran, former Story County Veterans Affairs commissioner, retired teacher, and member of the American Legion, DAV, and Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.

Zachary Skelton, Director of Story County Veterans Affairs.

Thank you to our resident veterans, their families, our staff, and community members who joined us in honoring those who have served. Your presence made this Veterans Day especially meaningful. ❤️🇺🇸

🌟 Sharing God’s Love Through a Warm Meal 🌟

Bethany Life believes no one should go hungry, and in light of recent reductions in SNAP benefits, we are stepping up to support our community. We will be providing a hot, nutritious lunch to anyone in need, no questions asked. Simply ask for a “community special.”

🍽 Lunch is served Monday through Friday from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

Everyone deserves the comfort of a warm meal and a welcoming place to enjoy it. As Jesus reminds us in Matthew 25:35, “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat.” Together, let us share God’s love through the simple act of kindness and a warm meal shared in fellowship. 💛
