Peace......Do we really know what that is? Truly??? As a caregiver you go through so much turmoil taking care of the one you love. It can be hard to feel that peace. God has really been dealing with me in that area. The pressure of making sure everything is done and getting it "just right" is sometimes more than you can bear.
Caregiver......what is the definition??? "... a person who gives help and protection to someone (such as a child, an old person, or someone who is sick)" I never really thought about the responsibilities of a caregiver. Help and protection. It's true though. I sit at work and think and worry (I know, I know.....worry is a no-no). As a caregiver it's my responsibility to make sure Marty has everything he needs and that he is safe. No falling, that he eats right, that he takes his medications correctly, that he checks his sugar, and much more.....
Stepping back and thinking about that. It's no wonder I have trouble with Peace. But God is our peace. I am learning that I can fall in the arms of Jesus and He can be my perfect peace.
I continue to pray that I can do that and not dwell on the "ifs" and "what ifs". What happens and how I take care of Marty is truly in God's hands. I MUST lean on Him and know that I can have that perfect peace and not worry. All of our needs will be met and Marty will be taken care of.
