Dear Caregivers, I want you to know I understand the great sacrifices you are making to care for loved ones with dementia or Alzheimer's. Some of you already know I took care of my parents for nine years. My mother had severe dementia which eventually left her totally helpless. It was awfully hard even though I had help. I felt trapped and often wished I could run away where no one would need me. I made it through with lots of prayers, and my doctor increased my Paxil, an antidepressant. I thank the Lord for hearing me and guiding me. Looking back there are lots of things I did wrong, but I am only human. God forgives me and I must forgive myself. Hoping all of you seek God's presence in your most worthy sacrifice. Hugs to you all! Veronica Kelly Badowski

I AM FAMILY

GOD THOUGHT: Luke 8:20-21 NIV
“Someone told him [Jesus], ‘Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.’
“He replied, ‘My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.’”
*
VICTORY THOUGHT: I am a member of Jesus’ family when I study His word and apply it to my life.
*
POWER PRAYER: Send Your Holy Spirit, to guide me in living my life by Your word, Oh God, and give me the discipline to make it my daily practice. Amen.
