Everyone needs some rest and relaxation. Hope you take time for it soon. You are valuable, not only to your family, but also to your 'forum' family.

I thought I would take the time today to go back and respond to the rest of these nice posts...

So, thank you, Sarah...though I do get weary some days, I try not to complain because even the thought of the alternative is not something I want to have to deal with.

As for being valuable here, well, I will take your kind word for it...bless you...

Thank you Barb. I am terribly sorry about everything. I read one of your posts and just feel like crying.

I know you will be just fine because it comes down to what you focus on. And you know whom to set your eyes upon.

It is incredibly hard being a caretaker and loving someone who is hurting. But I know this for a fact. God certainly loved your mother when he gave her you.

Live a life of NO REGRETS. No regrets that you weren't faithful to what God put in your hand to do. You are awesome and loved by many.

This is precious to me, Newman...I cried when I frist read it and again today.

This is an interesting post...our focal point is heaven...that is our goal, but often our focus can become blurred by the cares or circumstances of life.

That is why I am striving minute by minute of each day to keep the main thing the main thing.

Other things, though important and possibly urgent, may cross my path and I am dealt the hand of dealing with them, but it can NEVER be at the cost of losing my focus.

Almighty God is my strength and fortress, and in His loving kindness has allowed people to come into my life who speak truth and peace and strength...I am blessed...
