CAREGIVER MARATHON

As caregivers we can identify with the idea that we do not deserve the talents we have been given. I had no idea that God's gift of being compassionate and wanting to help others would have brought me to the point of being a full-time caregiver for my husband, Ed. However, knowing that God is using my gifts in this manner is a comfort. Also, understanding that God loves my husband enough to bring me into his life demonstrates God's will for my life right now. I understand that God brought Ed and I together knowing what the future held for us. It makes me appreciate how much God loves and cares for both of us... Ed was not sure what to do to put our cat in her bedroom so the dogs could come into the living room. I helped him get the cat some food and put up the gate. After the dogs came in, Ed glanced at the closed door to the cat's room and wanted to know if there was someone in that room. We have been placing the cat in this room and closing the door for almost seven years.
