A Special Day to Honor Outstanding Royal Park Place Team Members Every year, we set aside a day to recognize and honor some of our exceptional employees. This special day, Hallmark of Caring , celebrates employees throughout our ministry. As a resident and recipient of their service, please take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to bless someone who has blessed you! Nominate an employee from any department whom you consider to be outstanding in character or job performance (probably both). You may nominate more than one employee. Nomination forms are located in the Main Lobby and can be returned to the receptionist desk or the Comment/ Suggestion box (located in the mailboxes across from the resident pictures).

market. Orange juice has become one of the most popular fruit juices in America, making an appearance on millions of breakfast tables each morning. To celebrate this national holiday, start your day by enjoying a cold glass of OJ. Orange juice is rich in vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that supports immune health and the formation of blood vessels, cartilage, muscle, and collagen. When labels on the juice claim to have “100% Daily Value” of vitamin C, it means that extra ascorbic acid was added to the process to boost the vitamin levels. Thanks to a little help from ascorbic acid, your OJ is basically a delicious delivery system for superhero- level vitamin C.

Nomination deadline is May 14

Chaplain’s Corner Prayed For Us! The month of May is filled

30 different verses in scripture give us more insight into how Jesus himself prayed. One of the special aspects of Jesus prayer life while on earth is that he prayed for us! We always appreciate it when others pray for us, and we should always be willing to pray for and with others. Jesus praying for us on the night he was betrayed is a very special moment we should treasure and hold close in our knowledge of scripture. John 17:20-26 records that prayer. Let us take a moment this month and read the passage and be thankful for the unity He prays for believers with God and with each other. The prayer that we will be with Jesus in heaven and see His glory. The prayer for the love of God that is in Jesus would also be in us, and Jesus would also be in us. Remember this and be glad, Jesus knows you and has prayed for you as His follower!

with opportunities for gathering, celebrating, and remembering. In this area, Tulip Time begins the month with a celebration that is enjoyed by many in

the Holland area. Mother’s Day is celebrated on the 10th of May this year. Memorial Day will be observed on the 25th of the month. Another important day we are called to observe in our country is the National Day of Prayer on Thursday, the 7th of May. The theme for this year is: Glorify God Among the Nations, Seeking Him in All Generations. Join us on May 7 at the Kings Room in Royal Park at 9:30 a.m. for a time of prayer for our nation. Prayer should be an important part of a believer’s life. The disciples asked Jesus how they should pray, and scripture records in Matthew 6:9-13 what we have called the Lord’s Prayer as an example of how we should pray. Six areas we can place anything we are bringing to our Father in heaven in prayer. God’s name be hallowed, God’s kingdom come, God’s will be done, God’s provision for us, God’s forgiveness for us, and God’s deliverance for us from evil. Jesus Himself gave us this outline for us to follow.

Royal Park Place Announcements

The Royal Park family extends heartfelt May birthday greetings to all of our residents celebrating this month

MONDAY, MAY 25TH

As we enter the month of May, we are reminded of our responsibility to honor the fallen service members of the military— those who gave their lives to protect our nation and the freedoms we enjoy every day. While we mourn their loss, we also recognize that their sacrifice was not in vain. Through their courage and selflessness, they helped preserve the values and liberties that define our country. These men and women placed something greater than themselves first, serving with a deep sense of duty and commitment to a nation under God. Originally known as Decoration Day, this time of remembrance began as a way to honor those who died in military service by decorating their graves. Today, many continue this tradition by visiting cemeteries, placing flowers, offering prayers, and observing moments of silence.

The Privilege of Living

Thank God for the privilege of living, The privilege of breathing the air, The privilege of being alive in the midst Of such beauty everywhere! Thank the good Lord for His mercy In giving me eyes to see, A mind to learn, and a voice to speak And a faith in Eternity. Thank God for the privilege of living— For sharing His earth and His sky— That a gift so rare as the gift of life Is given to such as I.
