Once a year my precious daughter and son-in-law take my mother to their home. This is my vacation time and it also gives my mother a little vacation also. She loves going over to their home. My daughter and son-in-law are so good with her and take such good care of her. This will be our second year to do this. I so need it and I am sure my mother does too.
I am just exhausted and my nerves seem to tell me it's time for a break.
I will keep you posted on how it goes.
"This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing." Isaiah 28:12

Day Of Rest
As a caregiver we do not get Sunday off, we still have to take care of our love one. I know God understands this. I do try and let other things go on this day like washing, cleaning the house ect.
Genesis 2:2 Tells us that on the seventh day God rested. I try to rest, pray and read God's Word. I am not able to go to church so I watch it on T.V this helps a lot.
Because this is the seventh day if you have never asked Jesus into your heart I want to give you the opportunity to do so.
Just pray this simple prayer and it will change your life and keep you out of hell.
Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. You said, in Your Word,..".if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, And shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, THOU SHALT BE SAVED" (Rom.10:9). I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I believe He was raised from the dead for my justification. Your Word says,"...with the HEART man believeth unto righteousness: And with the MOUTH confession is made unto salvation"(Rom.10:10). I do believe with my heart, and I now confess with my mouth Jesus as MY Lord and Savior. Therefore, I am now saved! Thank You, Lord for my salvation.
If you prayed this prayed sincerely from your heart, then according to Gd's Word you Are Saved! I want to welcome you to the family of God. Now tell someone because God says, if we are ashamed of Him. He will not confess us before His Father in Heaven.
Blog me and let me know if you prayed this prayer. You will never be the same.

It takes a special person to be a caregiver. They have to have love and special skills and traits. There are some things you have to do you must be a planner and organizer. You also must have lots of Patience.You have to have a lot of tolerance. You really have to be a strong person. Another thing about a caregiver you have to have a lot of love in your heart.God tells us we are to love one another in John 15:17. So just remember if you are a caregiver you are a special person.

Positive Side of Caregiving
Being a caregiver has a positive side we need to talk about. Just taking care of your love one is of course a good thing. Showing love and helping them. You can feel like you are doing what you are suppose to be doing at this time in your life. Helping others is what we are suppose to be doing. It can bring a closer relationship with our love one.
Remember if it is a parent most of them were there for you now it's your turn to be there for them. Call it PAY BACK TIME. Do you know what pay back time means. It means it's time to pay back a parent or some love one for being there for you. And even if they were not God would want us to.

Strain On Family
Being a caregiver can also put a strain on your family. Sometimes my daughter wants a mother and daughter day. She just wants us to go shopping eat out ect. A day just for mother and daughter. My son-in-law has to sat with my mother while we have a little time to do this.
You have to give up personal time,friends and family get-together. I have to choose between what needs to be done and what I want to do. I have very few personal activities. I love to write so I try and spend a little time doing that.
My daughter is a gospel singer and she had her come back concert last month. I was not able to go this was hard on her and on me.
You have to give up a lot there is an up side I will get to that later.
"And let us consider one another to provoke unto love to good works." Hebrews 10:24
