Listen "191. Susan Piper's Story (From Fame-seeking Songwriter to Nursing Home Music Minister)"
Episode Synopsis
Host Sue Duffield's guest, Susan Piper, is a Christian singer, song and story writer who spends her days in nursing homes, wielding a guitar with her right hand and pushing her Havanese pup in a stroller with her left, continually being ministered to by the ones she seeks to serve. Sue met Piper at a Christian conference almost twenty-five years ago, and that meeting made quite an impression on both. Piper sings and speaks for retreats, women's luncheons, family events and church outreaches. Her new book, "A Blessing Is In It", contains the God-journey and stories of this once alcoholic to creative communicator of the gospel. "I visit them but they open their hearts to me. I ask them about their lives and they tell me their stories; sometimes it's the same story again, but it is so important it bears retelling. I knock and they are glad to see me. I offer myself as a stranger and they welcome me in without question. If the hymn is worthy of tears they cry; it was their mother's favorite, it was played at their daughter's funeral. They don't or can't hide their feelings, they are who they are. They follow me down the hall; they say they were sad before I came and please come again because I've made their day. They have done more than that for me. They've changed my life. Excerpt from "He Leadeth Me," A Blessing Is In It By Susan Piper www.susanpiper.com www.sueduffield.com
