Blood Pressure

Tell me about Blood Pressure. Do I ever know about it. My mother has high Blood Pressure this has been a battle for her for years. She of course is on medication but there are still times we battle it.
I am also on blood pressure medication and my friend just found out at sixty-three she has it and is trying to work with the doctors to get the right medication to control hers.
This can be a pain I battled it last year.
I have a blood pressure machine and take mine and my mothers daily sometimes several times a day if needed.
I Peter 2:24 By His stripes we were healed.
I am believing God for healing.

Cleaning Stomach Area

O.k. so I was able to do my mother's feeding tube. I got where I could do that now we have something else that was hard to do.
I had to clean her stomach area where the feeding tube goes in. This was something else that was hard for me.
So here I go again quoting the scripture verse "I can do all things through Christ which strength me."
My daughter was able to do it better than I was. I still hate to do it,but I do with God's help.
Even if there are things we don't enjoy doing God will help us still be able to do it.
I know there are a lot of things in this life that we don't like to do but we can always depend on God to help us.

Day Of Rest

As a caregiver we do not get Sunday off, we still have to take care of our love ones. 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 and pray and read God’s Word. I don’t get to go to church that much I watch it on T.V. and that 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” (rom10:10). 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 God’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. Write and let me know. You will never be the same. Rebecca

Our Good

Sometimes I have to stop and remember that in Romans 8:28God said, that ALL things work together for good. When I look at my mother and I see everything that is going on around me. I get depressed confused and ask the question WHY?. I guess at times we all do this, but I just have to stop and think on God's Word. One day I told the Lord I love you, but sometimes I don't understand you. He said, "I did not ask you to understand me just to trust me."
Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding."

Comfort

As a caregiver we should comfort one another. We know a lot about what other caregivers are going through. I really want to be here for you. I want to be someone you can talk to and pray with. Please blog me and let me know your prayer needs. If you just need someone to talk to I am here. This is one of the reasons I started this blog is to be here for other caregivers.
In II Corinthians 1:3,4 it tells us that God comforts us so we can comfort others.

Share Love

Let me hear from all you caregivers out there. Lets keep each other lifted up and informed. Caregivers are special people. We are hard workers and sharing God's love with others. We are doing what we are suppose to do. Keep on doing God's good work. In Matthew 25:40 Jesus said, "In as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
Always remember this we are doing it unto Jesus.

Love

I love my little mother so much she is so dear to me. I know all you caregivers feel the same way about your love one
I do this because I love her. It is love that drives us caregivers. Love will find a way.
Yes, there are times when I don't think I can go on but it is God's love that gives me the strength to go on. I know that I could not do this by myself. I have to ask God for strength to make it each day. Love is powerful and that is what held Jesus to the cross I heard one preacher say. I am sure it was the love He had for us.
John 15:17 "These things I command you, that ye love one another."

Count Your Blessings

Its time to count your blessings. We must take some time to do this. Just sat down and say God I am so thankful for: Tell Him all the many things you are thankful for in your life. Can you relate?
I am thankful for my daughter who comes to help me five mornings a week. I am thankful for all the other people who make it easier for me. I am thankful for all my love ones. I am thankful for the time I am spending with my mother and the time I have with my daughter. We try to always have lunch together before she leaves each day.
I am thankful I am able to take care of my mother. There are so many things we can be thankful for.
Psalm 68:19 "Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits."

Writing and My blog

I try to keep my blog up to date as much as I can. I am also working on a children picture book. Doing all this with taking care of my mother and going for supplies ect. I am a busy person. I guess it is good to stay busy even at sixty-seven years old.
If there is something you would like to talk about just blog me and lets talk.
There is one thing we can remember to try and do and that is to be content with such things as we have for in Hebrews God tells us to do this and that He will never leave us or for sake us.
