I think the picture below says it all. Many of you are struggling with being a caregiver for a loved one. In the best of times this can involve sacrifice and sometimes struggles. Yet you continue to persevere, and you continue to love. Care for a loved one must involve sincere love and a focus on honoring and glorifying God. Otherwise, it may deteriorate to resentment at God and your loved one for whom you are caring, because of the struggles and burdens sometimes connected with family care-giving.
Having said that take respite time whenever possible, dear caregiver. Take a few minutes each day to recharge by spending time in God's Word and prayer. Also spend some time doing things you enjoy each day. Take care of yourself physically, emotionally, and spiritually in the same way, as you care for your loved one. Finally, ask people to pray for you and to help out when possible. Thank you, dear caregiver, for all the love you show to your loved one in their time of need. Thank you for all that you do!
