You know that I usually look at all of the posts that come through but it
was something that Beth posted, and I have been thinking about it, but all
the rest of all of you as well. All of everyone here are such good hearted
and compassionate as well as caring people and it just seems that we must
come from an extended large group of family thrown together.
And this is for your 87 year old mom... see below
But first, A little story for you:
It was 15 years ago that a close friend of mine was in the late stages of
having Alzheimer's disease. However his wife never gave up on him. He was
still lucid up until about two years ago. Most of his doctors mentioned
that he probably had only a week or to to live. So I told his wife that
this also happened to me a couple of times but I am still alive, and there
were a few of my doctors that have already passed on.
I came to the conclusion that only GOD will take someone when it is their
time. So, this man with Alzheimer's proved them wrong. Remember thirteen
good years and two that were not exactly the best for him.
My wife and myself just attended his funeral this past week.
So what does this tell everyone? You already know but how long someone
lives is what makes each and every moment count.
This is for your perishes mom...
A PATIENT’S PRAYER
Eternal GOD, source of healing, out of my distress I call upon you. Help me
to sense your presence at this difficult time. You have already sent me
gifts of your goodness: The skill of my physician, the concern of others
who help me, the compassion of those I love, and who love me.
I pray that I may be worthy of all these, today and in the days to come.
Help me to banish all bitterness; let not despair overcome me. Grant me
patience when the hours are heavy; give me courage whenever there is hurt
or disappointment.
Keep me trustful in your love, O GOD. Give me strength for today, and hope
for tomorrow. To your loving hands I commit my spirit when asleep and when
awake. You are with me; I shall not fear. Help me, O GOD, in my time of
need.
