HighlightsA New NormalThe world is awash in clamoring voices, conflicting

data, in authorities and powers beyond our control. The news, it seems, is unusually bad: Foreclosures. Jobless rates. Policy debates.

Two thousand years ago, some startling news drew the attention of shepherds, wise men and a king: A child was born. A child who fulfilled a long-studied, well-known prophecy that was seven centuries old.

Few knew then, but that child, Jesus Christ, was bringing a new normal to Earth. A normal built on good news, not bad. On love, not punishment. On sacrifice, not selfishness.

Some feared it, and they feared it greatly. King Herod, Matthew tells us, called together the chief priests and teachers of the law, the best and brightest of his kingdom. They recited the prophecy. They pointed Herod toward his perceived threat.

Herod used all his earthly powers to bend the wise men to his will. To help him track down the baby. To erase the perceived threat.

Herod failed. Repeatedly.

In fact, Jesus lived to turn the world on its head. He touched the untouchables and healed the lame. He comforted the afflicted and afflicted the comfortable. He died to redeem our sins – and arose from the dead, proving His power.

In this new year, headlines and leaders clamor for our attention. They fuel our earthly fears.

But like the wise men, our attention is drawn to a boy, a Jewish boy, who established a new, amazing normal.

This Christmas season, the new normal of Christ remains a guiding star for all Christians, and for the world.

May God grant you a new year of blessings and of grace. A new year of a new normal — one wrapped in the love of the Father and the Son.

News About Lutheran Homes of Michigan And Related Services

“After Jesus was born in Bethlehem, in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, ‘Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star, and have come to worship him.’ ”

— Matthew 2:1-2

As Christ’s servants on earth, Lutheran Homes of Michigan serves the elderly and their caregivers with compassion, respect, spiritual support and an unwavering focus on

independence, personal dignity and service excellence.

“But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God, and not from us.”

— 2 Corinthians 4:7

We all know the classic opening words from “A Tale of Two

Cities” by Charles Dickens: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times … .” He was speaking of the French Revolution, but we could apply those same words to the era we are in: The best of times, the worst of times … all at one time.

Headlines and newscasts inescapably make the case that this is the “worst of times.” I won’t repeat them here; you know them well enough.

Instead, let’s look at how this is “the best of times.” To do so, we first must understand that the lens we Christians look through is the lens of Hope. Without this focus, we can easily despair into the “worst of times” mentality. As people of faith, we know that God is always at work in the lives of His people. We know that in trying times, people explore the big questions of life, questions deferred in times of plenty and seemingly easy wealth. As Christians, God gives us the answers to those big questions. In tough times – if we live as people of Hope – we have the opportunity to share His most precious gifts.

At Lutheran Homes of Michigan, we stand amazed that despite tough times, God continues to bless us in every way. Lean times provide us the opportunity to serve more seniors and their caregivers, as diminished resources require additional support. We see

increased commitment in our growing list of volunteers, driven by their faith and desire to serve. We’ve been blessed with an expanding roster of folks who give financially to support our work. And finally, due to careful stewardship provided by the Board of Directors and many within the Lutheran Homes of Michigan team, we are enjoying a strong financial era, even as others struggle.

That’s an amazing trend: In this time of personal financial struggles, serious state and federal cutbacks and high unemployment, Lutheran Homes is being blessed with more volunteers, more donors and more financial stability to serve more people. To God be the glory!

Perhaps it’s time for you to make – or increase – your commitments to God. Maybe that means volunteering or supporting our ministry of care financially.

By doing so, you just might help someone experiencing the “worst of times” to see “the best of times” through the true Hope you can offer.

Lutheran Homes of Michigan’s 2010 Verse of the YearSince 1998, Lutheran Homes of Michigan has selected a verse to be its focus for the year, sharing it with residents, clients, staff, volunteers and supporters.

The purpose of the verse is to center the heart of the ministry on one spiritual truth.

This year, as we move through challenging and uncertain times, we are reminded of God’s power, and His unwavering love and blessings in our lives.

With that in mind, the verse chosen for 2010 is 2 Corinthians 4:7:

“But we have this treasure in jars of

clay to show that this all-surpassing power

is from God, and not from us.”

Statistics. We hear so many statistics in our everyday conversations, and many are related to current economic

conditions. But are we becoming numb to the numbers? How often do we consider the actual people behind these numbers?

Let me give you an example. Every year, Lutheran Homes of Michigan’s Hospice of Hope has a yard sale to raise money for underfunded programs and services for the people and families we serve. This year, one family donated an autoharp. Recognizing its value, one dedicated yard sale volunteer pulled the autoharp aside. As a result, it made its way to our music therapist, who now uses it for sessions with residents at The Manors, Lutheran Home Frankenmuth, and in the homes of Lutheran Home Care Agency clients.

Enter Bill. Bill has Parkinson’s. He used to play string bass in a band and at his church, but the advance of his disease ended his bass playing. Our music therapist took the autoharp to Bill’s home and engaged him in music therapy sessions. Even with his limited dexterity, Bill was able to play the instrument, and his outlook changed for the better.

“The thing I like the best is it gets me back into music,” Bill said. He had missed playing instruments, and the compact autoharp fits easily into his home and routine.

Having an LHCA caregiver and the music therapist in their home and their lives “has made a huge difference,” said Bill’s wife, Rita.

“It’s a wonderful program,” she said.

Bill easily could have become a statistic: one of the countless individuals living with Parkinson’s, a home care services recipient, another person missing a beloved activity. But Bill’s life has been touched in significant ways by a chain reaction of caring people. That includes the family that owned the autoharp, the volunteer, the music therapist — and the donors who fund 100 percent of Lutheran Homes’ music therapy program. Every day at Lutheran Homes of Michigan, God uses gifts to bring others closer to Him in simple but powerful ways.

The world’s “new normal” would have us focus on bad statistics about our state and national economy. The world’s new normal drags us down. It tells us what is not possible.

Heaven’s “new normal” instead focuses on God’s love and His blessings. It uplifts us and those around us through generosity, caring and service, just as it did in Bill’s case.

Heaven’s new normal makes the impossible possible.

In 2010, why not make God’s new normal your new normal?

Don’t miss your opportunity to experience the joy of serving and helping someone this year.

An invitation to the future

In October, the first Lutheran Homes of Michigan Leadership Institute class graduated after 10 months of individual homework, regular group sessions, readings, studies and mentoring.

Members of the class were drawn from throughout Lutheran Homes campuses and ministries, from all sorts of jobs. The express purpose: Helping to train the next generation of LHM leaders.

“Our aim with the Institute is to identify people who have shown good leadership in their current positions, and help them grow with us,” said David M. Gehm, CEO and president. “The Institute did that, but it also did much more: It created and improved bonds between our campuses and ministries. That helps us serve seniors, their families and caregivers better.”

“In these challenging times, that’s a very big deal.”

Based on the sometimes emotional comments of graduates — who said the Institute helped challenge them as students, workers and Christians — the coursework had a distinct, positive impact.

The second Leadership Institute kicked off this month with a new group of future leaders.

A thank you to the past

November brought another special gathering: A luncheon for past Lutheran Homes of Michigan board members.

The idea was sparked by Bob Krueger, a longtime former board member and chairman. He now resides at the Lutheran Home Monroe.

Board members and their spouses caught up, reminisced and found out how Lutheran Homes of Michigan has grown since their tenures.

They were taken on a virtual tour of Lutheran Homes sites, campuses and ministries, and briefed on future plans and strategies.

“As a former LHM board member myself, and now a corporate team member, it was great to catch up with people I served with and those who helped build Lutheran Homes from the ground up,” said Dennis Krafft, who is in charge of LHM Asset Management, a new venture to help manage LHM’s 10 campuses and facilities across the state.

“I think it was eye-opening for them to see how their hard work and sacrifices have paid off,” Krafft said. “They helped build the foundation for our financially strong, Christian organization, with a clear focus on serving seniors.”

Leadership as a Norm

Christmas cheer was in high gear at Alpena Village in December,

with an open house featuring The Willows condominiums and The Pines apartments.

Vendors and the public enjoyed delicious snacks, and Girl Scouts caroled their way through the campus. Horse-drawn rides kept visitors moving between the condos and the affordable apartments.

At The Pines, Santa paid a special visit, and fresh-baked cookies were the order of the evening.

Alpena Village, an active adult community for residents 55 and better, is a joint project of Lutheran Homes of Michigan and Presbyterian Villages

of Michigan. It is in Alpena, adjacent to Alpena Community College, in a wooded setting.

If you or someone you know is interested in being “At Home, Up North,” please contact the Village toll-free at 866.757.0011 or e-mail alpenavillage@AgingEnriched.org.

Sometimes, a little help goes a long way.When Katy’s mother, Lillian, fell and

broke her shoulder in the Saginaw area, they both needed help — Lillian to recover, and Katy to get some rest and start a new job in metro Detroit. That’s where the Lutheran Home Care Agency and The Manors’ respite care program came in to help.

Lillian received in-home therapy from the agency and found a great place to stay at The Manors while she recovered. “We just needed something I call ‘gap coverage’ — she didn’t need full nursing care,” Katy said.

Lillian customized her suite with

touches from home, and she enjoyed delicious, chef-prepared meals

and hairdressing services

– all just steps away from her suite.

“Everyone who came in my suite said ‘Wow!’” Lillian said.

As they were considering options for Lillian’s recovery, Katy said the hospital handed her a list of potential facilities. Along with the recommendation of the Lutheran Home Care Agency’s therapist — whose own mother had stayed at The Manors — Lillian and the family decided on the respite stay at The Manors.

“I scanned through the list, and I see ‘Lutheran Homes of Michigan,’ and – bingo! — I have my comfort level met right there (based on Lutheran Homes’ reputation),” Katy said.

Less than 90 days later, Lillian was home again, independent and feisty as ever, and completing her therapy.

“This was the best experience,” Katy said. “It was truly stellar service. The level of comfort was huge.”

Lillian said The Manors is her first choice for friends and acquaintances facing

a similar situation or looking for a long-term senior living

residence with excellent services.

Making your blessings count

With a new year under way — and an April tax

deadline approaching — now is a good time to start thinking about your charitable giving for 2010.

Whether it is to your favorite church, charity or the Lutheran Homes of Michigan Foundation, your generous gifts have big impacts, especially these days.

With matching programs through your employer and others, those gifts often can be leveraged into even larger amounts, reaching more people in the ministries, charities and areas you care about.

Donating gifts such as stocks, insurance proceeds and other investments also can help ease your tax burden or the tax burden of your estate. Please check with a tax adviser for details about your personal situation and opportunities.

As you decide how to disperse your blessings this year and beyond, please consider making a gift to the LHM Foundation. We’ve included an envelope in this issue of Highlights to make that easier for you.

You also can contact the foundation directly at 989.262.7386 or via e-mail at lhmfoundation@AgingEnriched.org.
