Our Responsibility! Look At The Bigger Picture.

Our responsibility for mom's care doesn't always come down to being easy.

My brother Chuck, myself, my sisters Linda (who has MS, multiple sclerosis), and Betty all have a family. Now that mom's health has declined

Life as we once knew it is gone! Someone has to step in to take over. You know you have to do the right thing.

There comes a day when you have to care for your parent and your feelings are jumping all over the page.

You are trying to decide whether you should take care of your parent yourself or if you need to look at other Elder Care services.

Your feelings are neither good nor bad, they are neither positive nor negative. They are just feelings about the responsibility that was just handed over to you.

Think about this. God might have a bigger picture for your life, as the caregiver. You need to have faith and trust God to see you through.

I am not saying that everything is going to be great, NO.

Will you always like it, NO!

Will you always feel appreciated, NO!

Will you always feel good about what you are doing, NO!

Will you always feel happy about what you are doing, NO!

But, even this doesn't mean that God doesn't have a bigger picture for your life. We can still be connected to God even when that dark, heavy feeling is within us.

We might lose our awareness of God but we don't have to lose our connection with Him.

P.S. If you would like to receive my special report on "dealing with siblings" request your "FREE" report Now.

I am still connected to God even though the day doesn't always go my way.
