DEAR LORD, I THANK YOU!
By M. Lemmons
Dear LORD, when you chose me to be a caregiver,
I doubted YOU had the right person for the job.
I have since learned that YOU have
bestowed many blessings on me, and I Thank YOU!
YOU blessed me by giving me the strength to face the challenges each new day brings.
YOU blessed me by giving me each new day,
and I thank YOU!
YOU blessed me by giving me the patience to be a caregiver, and I thank YOU!
YOU blessed me by showing me how to smile when I wanted to cry and didn't have the time, or the time was inappropriate, and I thank YOU!
YOU blessed me by teaching me to be tolerant of others weaknesses, and I thank YOU!
YOU blessed me by giving me a sense of humor to laugh at myself when I get confused, forgetful, or do something really dumb, and I thank YOU!
YOU blessed me by giving me the determination to do my best for the person I am caring for, and I thank YOU!
YOU blessed me by showing me the intensity of the love
I have for the person I am caring for, and I thank YOU!
But most of all, YOU have blessed me by allowing the person I am caring for to stay in my life a little while longer, and I thank YOU!
